Plantation Unique Population

Description
If you have ever used a population.txt mod that changes the "default" poplatuion, you may have been disappointed to learn that this also changes the population on c3m4_plantation. This simple mod repurposes the unused "defaultswamp" population so that you can change the "default" population without affecting Swamp Fever's finale. Likewise, you can also change the "defaultswamp" population to anything you want; customizing this finale in a way unavailable on the workshop until now.

This mod does NOT change the population.txt file, so it will be compatible with any mods you have.
If you don't know how to modify the population.txt file, this mod will be of little use to you.

For my own population.txt mod, I set "defaultswamp" to the following, but you can set it to whatever you want!
common_female_tankTop_jeans 20
common_female_tshirt_skirt 20
common_male_tshirt_cargos 20
common_male_tankTop_overalls 20
common_male_tanktop_jeans 20

This mod works in singleplayer and when you host a local server.

I've made a guide that will show which populations are used on official campaigns.

Thanks for the reply! But it didn't help clarify what places use default and shared populations and seemingly unused ones such as Riverbank_police, Riotpolice_l4d1 and maybe Ceda?

I wanted to edit the existing populations since editing the navigation meshes would conflict with a favorite mod of mine. Knowing what populations are used in official campaigns and a small description of where they are within the map would be of huge help.

The Valve Developer wiki's page on populations (linked below) can help you.

Do you have any advice as to how or where I could tell which populations are used or unused? I have a hard time telling which one is for which part of a campaign.

@DWBoyGamer I've created a new mod, "Parish Bridge Unique Population"
