Item Drop Bonus

Description
As described on the title, it's just a simple mod that awards survivors with certain item drops when killing either special infected, witch or tank. Using this mod, you get certain chance from 10% to 100% of item drop depending of which zombies you kill.

Item Drop Chance:
  1. Special Infected (any type): 10% (additional 10% on headshot).
    a. Smoker: Hunting Rifle, Military Sniper, or Pills (only one of them).
    b. Boomer: Bile Bomb, or Pills (only one of them).
    c. Hunter: Rifle, Ak47, or Pills (only one of them).
    d. Spitter: Molotov, or Pills (only one of them).
    e. Jockey: Autoshotgun, Spas, or Pills (only one of them).
    f. Charger: Autoshotgun, Spas, Rifle, Ak47, Pipe Bomb, or Pills (only one of them).

  2. Tank: 100%.
    M60, Grenade Launcher, one random throwable, & random defib/ first aid (1 item each).

  3. Witch: 100%.
    Random Melee, & random defib/ first aid (1 item each. 2 items each on headshot if lucky).

With this mod, hopefully you can survive longer in survival mode, & some custom campaigns that lack supplies.

Bonus Features (can be turned on/off via cfg file):
  1. T3 Weapons Can Pick Ammo
    This feature allows chainsaw, m60 & grenade launcher to pick ammo. Reserve ammo for m60 is equal to smg (650). For chainsaw, just press E on a gascan & pick it, & chainsaw fuel will be refilled.

  2. M60 Drop Prevention System
    M60 no longer drops. There's a prevention system that immediately switches weapon to secondary when m60 is running of ammo clip.

  3. Cruel Bots Mode
    When enabled, bots shoot more aggressively than usual. Press TAB (Score button) + E (Use button) for toggle on/ off during play. This can also be configured via cfg file in "ems" folder.

  4. Tank Item Drop Chance
    This one is to enable tank's item drop chance, in case if you want to lower the drop chance below 100%.

Enjoy your game.

Notes:
  • "Item Drop Bonus" has a toggle in the cfg file that allows you to turn off item drop feature, in case if you only want to use the bonus features about T3 weapons.

  • If you already use some aggressive bot mods, it's recommended to turn off "Cruel Bots Mode", as it probably won't affect much if bots are already aggresive on zombies.

@Kaisy , I think this one can be disabled via cfg file, by setting "T3 Weapons Can Pick Ammo". & only m60 has lots of reserve ammo, while grenade launcher & chainsaw still have the default ammo/ fuel when refilling ammo/ fuel.
Kaisy Jun 7 @ 11:10am 
but can you make a version without T3 ammo buffed?

@Kaisy, "Item Drop Bonus" has value no. 2 that can increase drop chance when survivors keep killing zombies. As for manual drop chance settings, I only put tank because if if special infected's drop chance is added too, it can be too OP.

i only need item drop chance
kurochama  [author] May 23 @ 2:48pm 
@Marcus , normally it should be possible. But I didin't add it because it might break the game balance especially during horde/ panic event, as common infected would more likely drop items during panic event even if it's set to only 1% chance. It might still need more tests, along with what items would be dropped by common infected.

is there a way to make common infected drop items?
kurochama  [author] Apr 25 @ 12:51pm 
@Karien , I see. This mod only increases ammo count for chainsaw to default max (30) when picking a gascan with chainsaw fuel below 30, so, if you have another mod that increases chainsaw ammo count more than 30, the gascan won't refill it until the ammo goes down below 30.
Karien Apr 25 @ 10:12am 
I think I found out why, because it also touches ammo count for the guns, it conflicts with another script mod we use.
Karien Apr 24 @ 4:03pm 
Yeah, it's on slot 2. Funny thing is, Cruel bots actually works when set to 0-1 but it just does what another mod basically does but stronger, in sense. Accidentally managed to toggle it on and off as well in gameplay.

@Karien , that could be the case. Btw, was the chainsaw slot on secondary slot during your play? Value no. 2 only works if chainsaw is on secondary slot (default slot). Before I uploaded, I tested it on map 2 of Dead Center where there are some gascans & chainsaw, & it worked. If you want to check whether it works or not, you can try to set "Cruel Bots Mode" to 0 or 1 first, & then press "TAB + E". If it shows a notification like "Cruel Bots mode is enabled/ disabled", then the mod should work as well as the chainsaw refuel with gascan. But if that notification doesn't show up, you can check console for errors (some red texts on console). Usually there's info on which part & what caused the errors.
