Update: 31 Dec, 2024 @ 10:00am

Improvements
  • Allowed the Tank to throw rocks if he's closer than the value set by the `tank_throw_allow_range` command variable. This should allow add-ons such as `Improved Tank AI` to properly perform the `punch & rock` combo.
Changes
  • Removed the `FlowDistanceAheadOfWitch` option from the `passivewitch.txt` file as it wasn't really that useful for special infected.
  • Decreased the `FlowDistanceBehindLadder` option in the `passiveladder.txt` file to `75`.
  • Decreased the `FlowDistanceBehindWitch` option in the `passivewitch.txt` file to `75`.

Update: 27 Dec, 2024 @ 9:00pm

Bug Fixes
  • Reconverted the `DebugMode` option to an integer to prevent an error that would occur when comparing integers with booleans.
  • Fixed a bug where the `cm_AggressiveSpecials` variable would still be set to `false` even if the `AllowAggressiveSpecials` option was set to `false`.

Update: 25 Dec, 2024 @ 2:00pm

Additions
  • Added the `OffsetTraceToBoundingBox` option to the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file which determines whether to offset the tracelines to the left and right of the bounding box with the value set by the `BoundingWidth` option.
Changes
  • Set the `TraceMaskCollision` option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` and `passivetank.txt` files to `TRACE_MASK_PLAYER_SOLID`.
  • Increased the `FlowDistMin` option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `-1500`.
  • Increased the `SpawnRangeWidth` option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `750`.
  • Increased the `BurningTankHealthPercent` option in the `passivetank.txt` file to `75`.
  • Decreased the `DistanceMaxPathLength` option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `1000`.
  • Decreased the `SpawnPreserveSizeX` option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `150`.
  • Decreased the `SpawnPreserveSizeY` option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `150`.
  • Decreased the `SpawnRandomPosSizeX` option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `35`.
  • Decreased the `SpawnRandomPosSizeY` option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `35`.
  • Decreased the `NavRandomPosSizeX` option in the `passivetank.txt` file to `35`.
  • Decreased the `NavRandomPosSizeY` option in the `passivetank.txt` file to `35`.
Bug Fixes
  • Fixed a bug where the function that handles valid areas wouldn't count the nav area in the array as a valid spawn location if it was about to exceed the limit set by the `ValidAreaLimit` option.
  • Fixed a bug where an error could occur if an invalid nav area was used after resuming the current function in the generator.
  • Fixed a bug where special infected would choose not to spawn while a Tank is active if either the `EnablePassiveTank` option was set to `false` or the survivor count was less than the `PassiveStopSurvivorCount` option.

Update: 16 Dec, 2024 @ 6:00pm

Improvements
  • Added more tracelines for collision detection to reduce the chances of special infected getting stuck in geometry.
Changes
  • Removed the `BuildPathInvalidLimit` option from the `manualspecialspawn.txt` and `passivetank.txt` files as it doesn't seem to be useful for saving performance.
  • Set the `OrganizeDistanceByHeight` option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `false`.
  • Set the `ValidateAreasNearBosses` option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `false`.
  • Set the `ValidateAreasWithStrugglers` option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `false`.

Update: 13 Dec, 2024 @ 3:00pm

Bug Fixes
  • Fixed a bug where only a certain amount of nav areas in the array would be split into chunks.

Update: 12 Dec, 2024 @ 10:00pm

Additions

  • Replaced the `SpawnRangeMax` option with the `SpawnRangeHeight` and `SpawnRangeWidth` options.

  • Decreased the `SpawnPreserveSizeX` and `SpawnPreserveSizeY` options in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `200`.
Bug Fixes
  • Fixed a bug where a fatal error would occur when attempting to run the Tank's `ValidateBuildPath` function due to wrong number of parameters.

Update: 26 Nov, 2024 @ 8:00pm

Improvements
  • Reworked the `SpawnRandomPosSize` options so they will fallback to using the center of the nav area if it can't find a random spawn position that is not too close to the corners.

Update: 23 Nov, 2024 @ 12:00pm

Bug Fixes
  • Fixed a bug where the X and Y offsets for the spawn positions were twice as long as they were supposed to be.

Update: 22 Nov, 2024 @ 9:30pm

Changes
  • Decreased the `PassiveStopRange` option in the `passivetank.txt` file to `200`.

  • Fixed a bug where the nav area's height wasn't being calculated properly when determining potential spawn positions for special infected.

Update: 21 Nov, 2024 @ 4:00pm

Additions
  • Added the `OverrideInitialSpawnDelay` option to the `settings.txt` file which determines whether the `InitialSpawnDelay` options can be used instead for the initial spawn delay.
