Entity spawn filter
This addon has entity spawn filter support, so some configuration is required.

Filter file is reloaded by wire_expression2_entmanipulation_reload_spawn_filter console command.
File should be located in data/stpm64_e2/spawn_filter.txt
By default file is not provided, and without it
entSpawnEx(KVs)
will not work.

File syntax (put plus/minus sign exactly on line start and exactly one space after):

+ regexp

All entity classes that match this regexp will be allowed if not overriden by following lines.

- regexp

All entity classes that match this regexp will be disallowed if not overriden by following lines.


So
+ ^ai_.+ - ai_network
will match allow all entities with class starting with ai_, except ai_network

See default spawn_filter.txt here.
