Simple Horde V2

Description
This mod lets you spawn NPCs around the map.
It is easy to customize, and features a pleasing dark mode UI.

Improvements from v1:

Better stability
More pleasant UI
No crashes
Intuitive spawn editing
Modded NPC support

This mod supports all weapons and NPCs.

To open the config and enable the mod, go to the utility tab

TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS:

1. Make sure you have a nav mesh on the map. The mod SHOULD prompt you on level startup to generate one if you don't have one.

2. Disable the visibility test, and decrease spawn distance to 512.

3. Try on a different map (I used de_dust2 from CSS for testing most of the time)

ohh, I see, that is NOT an option unfortunately.

It works but I'd like a chance to sometimes not spawn anything. I tried v1 but I see it wasn't possible to save and any npc that the name starts not with "npc_" doesn't work. Zinv addon does all that good but I wanted to spawn on a map without ai nodes but with a navmesh. Zinv only works with ai nodes. On Zinv I just made a slot named <none> and Zinv tries spawning that non existent npc. Thanks to that I was able to lower the amount of spawning npcs.

Regardless of all that, your addon has a nice UI but also typing in the number values is a bit clunky if you know what I mean. Also you could bring back some options from v1. Like having horde size below 25 and is there a max amount of npc's in v2? Is it now the same as the horde size?

then increase the radius, though, it's odd reducing the horde size doesn't work

I had it to minimum already. But I'll try the older version maybe it'll work here

reduce the horde size

Hello. Is it possible to set a slot to spawn nothing? I tried to edit the .txt. This would be done to spawn less NPCs. But for me it created errors and the spawning would stop working.
