Hi folks

As I've been getting a lot of requests to do custom versions of these and it is getting a bit out of hand, I've put up a fairly simple tutorial to create your own, and I won't be taking any more requests, sorry, I just don't have the time to keep following through on all of them.

I appreciate people's enjoyment of my mods and want to make it clear this is aimed at no one user, this comment will be posted on all of my current mods so people see it. Try it out and have some fun, it's actually pretty easy to do!

Unfortunately it appears as if the last stand update has somewhat screwed with the way he spawns, the only way I was able to get it to work reliably was to make it so that Jimmy spawns across all campaigns.

I have some mods on my workshop that will allow that to happen, otherwise unfortunately I don't have the knowledge to do anything further. This mod makes all the uncommons spawn on every campaign, including Jimmy. Otherwise there are some others on my workshop. Sorry I couldn't get a better result.

That's fine with me. But yeah, thank you so much mate. <333

It is possible to edit the script to up the chances of him appearing without otherwise altering the way the population is handled by the game, but as the game just handles him as a common infected increasing the chances of him appearing also makes it more likely that he'll appear more than once, and I'm not sure how to get around that. I can make that edit if you wish, but as he has 1000 health having multiples of him spawning could make the finale a lot harder.

Heyo! Hope I am not bothering you or anything, but do you think that you could make a mod that makes it to where Jimmy Gibbs will always spawn anytime the Dead Center campaign is played?

can you make a version of common zombie population is unchanged, and the only differences are increased riot police?

If you want one with no survivors, look at the 'lone survivor' mods. These scripts only alter infected populations.

could you make one with no survivors?

Afraid it might be a while, my NVME containing the game just decided to die, so I won't be able to do any modding until i've been able to replace it.

Thats Great! can u also do one with just commons and mudmen as well if u do get time?
Mike Oxlong  [author] 12 Aug, 2023 @ 2:04am 
Will do as soon as I get the time!

Can I request one with commons and ceda only?

I've tried changing the way fallen survivors spawn and even changing the cvar doesn't alter it a lot, unfortunately it would require hacking the game which I can't distribute as a mod. Doable with the others, though if you have a rough idea of the ratios you'd want them seen in.

Can I request for uncommons only? but it's slightly adjusted rare spawn for clowns, jimmy gibs, ceda, swat and lastly fallen survivors

I would like to see twice as many riot cops, or maybe triple, it would be a good version since it would add difficulty, only in the parish :P or on other maps where riot cops spawn

I can't include patches myself that alter the game in that manner, but I'll make a note of it incase someone else asks, thank you.

Are you referring there to the original "More Commons" plugin? If you've got other versions of my script loaded, disable them as only one of my addons can be active at any one time. If that's not the case I'll have a look and see if it's still functioning for me.

jimmy gibbs and riot zombies are not appearing in the mod where all uncommon zombies should appear! can you please fix this? the clown, gibbs, slushy and riot zombies are my favorites!

I noticed that you are having problems adding more fallen survivals zombies, you can use a sourcemod plugin that resets the limit of this zombie:

It is possible to alter that, but would want a rough idea what % chance you'd want of one spawning.
Kaiser Adradum 22 May, 2023 @ 9:46am 
can you make a version that only add more riot cops (in the parish, etc) ? please :3
