Special Infected Synchronization (AI+)

Special Infected Synchronization Bundle

Description
This add-on will allow special infected to attack all at once. Unlike my deprecated mutation named "Concerted Contagion", this one will work with any game mode either in single player or on a local server.

What this add-on does is allow the special infected to respawn based on a set timer since the last special infected was killed. Once the time is up, all special infected will be able to spawn and attack at the same time. Additionally, the command variables for the infected have been modified to make them attack more efficiently.

Overall, this add-on will entice the survivors to be more cautious when dealing with the special infected as they can potentially catch you off-guard if you're not careful.

Additional Information
Settings can be modified in-game by typing the following in chat:
!sisync_[name_of_text_file] [name_of_option] [desired_value] [optional_directory]

If you want to change the settings of this add-on and/or know what each of the available options do, see this thread.

If you'd like to use a different version of the add-on, they can be found in the Special Infected Synchronization Bundle.

Is it normal that it disables my means of finding the dead locked up?

ツ Apparently, I forgot to add the link to the guide while I was editing my comment. Nevertheless, you can set up a local Versus server to use this add-on. Here's the guide that'll show you how to modify the `addonconfig.cfg` file in the `./left4dead2/cfg/` directory.

Can it be done if the vpk method is used?
Taut  [author] 2 May @ 6:00pm 
ツ Since this add-on uses VScripts, the only way you can use it in Versus would be to set the value of the `versus` variable underneath `RestrictAddons` to `0` and then create a local server. For more details, you can view this guide which shows you how to enable add-ons in Versus on local servers.

works on vs?

@exactly 1 knight If you want to play campaigns as if it were Versus, then I recommend installing the `Special Infected Synchronization (Competitive)` add-on instead as the `MaxSpecials` option is set to `4` by default which will allow up to four special infected to spawn at once.

Is making all 4 special infected spawn at the same time as simple as changing "MaxSpecials" to 4? I wonder if you could pseudo-recreate a VS mode like experience this way? (Without the kicking and racial slurs, of course.)
Taut  [author] 5 Mar @ 1:47pm 
@Sasha Pines (no brain) At one point, the `MaxSpecials` variable was set to `3` as I figured that three special infected normally spawned in official campaigns. However, I realized that the third special infected only spawned as soon as one of the active special infected was killed.

Because I figured that some campaigns would modify either the `cm_MaxSpecials` or `MaxSpecials` variable at certain times (ex. the finale in Chapter 3 of The Passing), I let the Director handle those two variables automatically instead of manually setting them at specified values.

question why there only 2 si spawn at a time instead 4 like older version i renember ?

@Wenda I don't think this add-on has any impact on the amount of Witches that spawn in a map.
