Discuss this update in the discussions section.
Update: 14 Sep, 2024 @ 2:30am

Update: 13 Sep, 2024 @ 8:00pm

Additions
  • Added the `TraceMethodForValidation` option to the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file which determines where in the VScript the trace lines will be performed when validating potential attack spots. Setting it to `0` will improve reliability at the cost of performance, and setting it to `1` will improve performance at the cost of reliability.
Improvements
  • Reorganized the `./ems/sisync-comp/` directory to make the files easier to find.
  • The `DistanceChunkSize` option will now determine the size of each chunk in the nav array instead of the amount of chunks overall.
Changes
  • Updated the thumbnail for this add-on.
  • Renamed the `BoundingCheck` option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `EnableBoundingCheck`.
  • Renamed the `DistanceChunkCount` option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `DistanceChunkSize`.
  • Renamed the `RandomizeNavArrayInChunks` option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `EnableDistanceChunkRNG`.
  • Renamed the `TraceMethod` option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `TraceMethodForSpawnAreas`.
  • Renamed the `ValidateBuildPath` option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `EnableBuildPathValidation`.
  • Set the default value for the `ProhibitBosses` option in the `settings.txt` file to `auto`.
  • Increased the default value for the `BoundingWidth` option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `40`.
  • Increased the default value for the `FlowDistMax` option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `1500`.
  • Increased the default value for the `SpawnHeight` option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `15`.
  • Decreased the default value for the `DistanceChunkSize` option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `4`.
  • Decreased the default value for the `FlowDistMin` option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `-1500`.
  • Decreased the default value for the `NavMaxSpotted` option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `5`.
  • Decreased the default value for the `NavMaxValid` option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `20`.
  • Decreased the default value for the `ValidAreaFoundInvalidCount` option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `5`.
  • Decreased the default value for the `ValidAreaSearchInvalidCount` option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `-1`.
  • Decreased the default value for the `ValidAreaSearchValidCount` option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `5`.
Bug Fixes
  • Fixed a bug where the amount of valid nav arrays would be smaller than usual after sorting them in chunks.
  • Fixed a bug where the Tank could occasionally throw rocks earlier after the last throw than intended.

Discuss this update in the discussions section.
Update: 8 Sep, 2024 @ 3:00am

Bug Fixes
  • Fixed a bug where attempting to remove the `FINALE` spawn attribute for a brief moment while riding an elevator would break finales in some campaigns if the `AlwaysAllowSpawns` option is set to `true` in the `settings.txt` file.

Discuss this update in the discussions section.
Update: 7 Sep, 2024 @ 10:00pm

Improvements
  • Special infected can now spawn in areas marked with either the `BATTLEFIELD` or `FINALE` spawn attribute if the `AlwaysAllowSpawns` option is set to `true` in the `settings.txt` file.

Discuss this update in the discussions section.
Update: 7 Sep, 2024 @ 1:00am

Improvements
  • Made some adjustments to how the `PassiveSearchRange` options function so the Tank will be more likely to retreat from the survivors when finding a place to either hide or throw rocks.
  • Replaced the `CommandABot` function for the Tank with the `m_customAbility` NetProp to allow the Tank to throw rocks more frequently.
  • Moved all of the scope variables to their own table to prevent conflicts with other add-ons.
Changes
  • Removed the `EngageDistanceDivider` option from the `passivetank.txt` file as the Tank should focus more on throwing rocks while special infected are waiting to respawn.
  • Decreased the default value for the `PassiveSearchRangeMax` option in the `passivetank.txt` file to `750`.
  • Prevented the `EnablePassiveTank` option from executing its function during finales to workaround a bug where finales can move to the next stage if the `CommandABot` function resets the Tank's AI.
  • Allowed the Tank to play passively if `EnablePassiveTank` is set to `true` and `ShouldAllowSpecialsWithTank` is set to `false`.
Bug Fixes
  • Fixed a bug where a SurvivorBot would still be able to pick up an incapped survivor if the `ForceDropIncapped` option is enabled.

Discuss this update in the discussions section.
Update: 24 Aug, 2024 @ 8:00am

Bug Fixes
  • Converted the `DebugMode` option to an integer to prevent a fatal error from occurring when the option is set to a boolean value.

Discuss this update in the discussions section.
Update: 19 Aug, 2024 @ 3:00pm

Bug Fixes
  • Fixed a bug where the special infected would be allowed to spawn after one of them has died even after the respawn timer has been reset.

Discuss this update in the discussions section.
Update: 18 Aug, 2024 @ 1:00am

Improvements
  • Special infected will now spawn close together if they cannot find anymore valid nav areas to spawn at and a special infected has already found at least one valid spawn area.
  • Allowed the Tank to play passively regardless of flow distance if he is standing on a nav area marked with the `FINALE` spawn attribute.
  • The Tank will no longer potentially stop moving if he is near a molotov that is currently being thrown.
  • Made some changes to the `OptimizeSpecialPriority` option to make special infected more likely to switch to nearby revivers when available.
  • Made further improvements to the passive Tank's functions to improve reliability.
Changes
  • Removed the `z_jockey_leap_range` command variable from the `convars.txt` file.
  • Removed the `z_jockey_leap_time` command variable from the `convars.txt` file.
  • Increased the default value for the `NearInfernoHeight` option in the `passivetank.txt` file to `200`.

Update: 15 Aug, 2024 @ 4:30pm

Additions
  • Added the `ValidAreaSearchBossRadius` option to the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file which attempts to find a valid area that is not too far from a survivor before deciding whether to allow special infected to spawn while a boss is active. This option only goes into effect if the `WaitForValidAreas` and `ValidateAreasNearBosses` options are set to `true`.
  • Added the `ValidAreaSearchPanicRadius` option to the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file which attempts to find a valid area that is not too far from a survivor before deciding whether to allow special infected to spawn during panic events. This option only goes into effect if the `WaitForValidAreas` and `ValidateAreasDuringPanicEvents` options are set to `true`.
  • Added the `ValidAreaSearchStruggleRadius` option to the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file which attempts to find a valid area that is not too far from a survivor before deciding whether to allow special infected to spawn while survivors are struggling. This option only goes into effect if the `WaitForValidAreas` and `ValidateAreasWithStrugglers` options are set to `true`.
Changes
  • Renamed the `ValidAreaSearchRadius` option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `ValidAreaSearchSpecialRadius`.
