Skip this section if you know the basics, and fully understand the mod page's description

As you probably know, part of what makes this mode great is it's level of customizability. You can customize almost any part of this gamemode.

To do so, first disable default configs of what you want to configure in-game (in autoexec.cfg or if hosting via "Start New Game" uncheck the default configs you wish to edit):

horde_default_enemy_config 0 - Allows wave cfg customization
horde_default_item_config 0 - Allows item cfg customization
horde_default_class_config 0 - Allows class cfg customization

You can then use the F2 key in-game to customize what you want.
Experiment with the various customization fields, get creative; however, this thread will not be a full guide on customization.

1 TIP though: You can use the default config as a "base/template/example" by pressing the "override" button in any of the customization menus (replaces current config with editable default config).
I usually use this on the "Item" and "class" configs only to add-on more classes and weapons.

To find your newly created config(s), the files will be located in:
GarrysMod\garrysmod\data\horde



Since customizability is huge with Gorlami's Horde mod, I am creating this thread as a way to share your various config creations in one place.

If uploading to the workshop, here's a tip, using the following format in the title will help others find your config:
Make sure to attach prerequisite mods/maps needed for the config.

You can post/advertise your workshop links to the config(s), config packs, map config combos [themed campaigns? endless mode-zombie escape, l4d-ish, who knows the future of such potential], etc. in a reply below the OP:




***** A new sub forum will hopefully be created for Custom Configs [+partially scripted map campaigns in the future?? Hopes and dreams...] if there is enough community contribution and support for the creation of such configs.

The potential of this mod is insane, the amount of customization [and planned customization] says it all.

Additionally, the ability to switch between/vote for different configs/combinations thereof
is going to be an amazing addition (planned on github), that is hopefully added soon, which I think would further spur up config creation and add even more variety to servers that host this mode, opening up even more possibilities, some of which I mentioned in the previous section.



Currently working on a L4D 2 enemy config, will post workshop link in OP when it is finished. Just waiting on additional enemy config options and multi-config support (config voting), which may be coming soon (and bugfixes):

Suggestion received by Gorlami:

Ok after looking through github-issues and feature requests steam discussion I have not found anyone who already suggested adding a "max npc count field" and "absolute max npc count" at a per "npc name" basis. "Max npc count" would be very useful if you want to limit a specific npc to only having 1 or 2, etc active at a time. In regards to "absolute max npc count," just hard limits the npc to only being aloud to spawn 1 time or 2 times, etc.
I don't know if this would effect total npcs per wave, when used with non-limited npcs, might be an issue, might need to add a compensate option, but I don't know how this mod works.


Thanks for this epic mod btw.
