Additions

by Thumos

Additions
  • Added the `ValidAreaGoalNearestRadius` option to the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file which determines how many valid nav areas need to be found that are closer than the value set byy the `SpawnRangeValid` option before allowing special infected to spawn. This option only goes into effect if the `WaitForValidAreas` option is set to `true`.
Improvements
  • Modified the `foreach` loops for the `EnableManualSpecialSpawn` option to improve performance.
Changes
  • The `SpawnScalarOccupied` and `SpawnScalarVision` options will now be calculated by only the x and y axis.
  • Renamed the `ValidAreaGoalPercent` options to `ValidAreaGoal`.
  • Settings printed to the console in-game are now sorted alphabetically.
  • Decreased the `SpawnScalarOccupiedRadius` option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `0.3333`.
  • Decreased the `SpawnScalarVisionLimit` option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `1`.
  • Decreased the `SpawnScalarVisionRadius` option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `0.2222`.
  • Decreased the `ValidAreaGoal` option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `3`.
  • Decreased the `ValidAreaGoalDuringPanicEvents` option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `2`.
  • Decreased the `ValidAreaGoalNearTank option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `1`.

Additions
  • Added the `SpawnRangeValidIdleTime` option to the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file which determines how long the prioritized survivor must be standing in place to consider using the `SpawnRangeWidth` variable instead.
  • Added the `IntensityIncrementRadius` option to the `survivorstatus.txt` file which determines how close survivors need to be to the common and special infected for the survivor's intensity to increment when they attack.
Improvements
  • Modified the functions for the `EnableManualSpecialSpawn` option to improve reliability.
Changes
  • Removed the `EnablePounceDamage` and `ModifyChargeHealth` options from the `settings.txt` file as they didn't fit well with the goal of this add-on and would conflict with other add-ons that perform the same functionality.
  • Increased the `SpawnPosChunkLimit` option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `10`.
  • Decreased the `SpawnHeight` option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `0`.
  • Decreased the `SpawnPosChunkSizeX` option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `25`.
  • Decreased the `SpawnPosChunkSizeY` option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `25`.
  • Decreased the `ValidAreaGoalPercent` option in the `manualspecialspawn.txt` file to `50`.
