Features

Complete control over enemy spawn behaviour. Works in multiplayer, only the host needs to have this mod installed.

Choose between 3 out of the box presets, or adjust the settings to your liking using the "custom" preset. All changes happen in real time, so you can adjust on the fly without having to restart.

Spawn logic is redirected to dergmod, severing it from Payday's AI task queue meaning that spawn timings will always be accurate. Because of this, it is now practical to make enemies spawn ludicrously fast, since it will not hinder (and be hindered by) Payday's AI task queue.

There are several buttons and sliders to play around with.
dergmod will automatically choose the lowest values provided by the game and the mod, so be aware that the game's normal behaviour may take over if you are using values that are too high.

• Cooldown slider
  Sets the maximum cooldown for spawngroups, up to 15 seconds. The game will not choose spawngroups that are on cooldown.

• Spawnrate slider
  Lets you adjust how often the game will try to spawn enemies, up to a maximum of 2 seconds.

• Spawnpoint interval slider
  This is a cooldown specific to each individual spawnpoint within any given spawngroup. It will decide how quickly spawnpoints can spawn enemies, similarly to how spawngroup cooldowns work.

• Override map cooldowns toggle
  While not usually the case, some spawngroups have cooldowns that are set by the map. Enabling this will make the cooldown slider override these as well.

• Disable spawncamp check toggle
  Enemies that die near their spawnpoint cumulatively add 1.75 - 2.5 seconds of cooldown to their spawngroup. Toggling this on disables this behaviour.

• Disable special delays toggle
  If a spawngroup attempts to spawn special enemies that would exceed the special cap, it goes on a 10 second cooldown. Toggling this on disables this behaviour.

• Disable extra spawn delays toggle
  When a spawngroup gets scheduled to spawn enemies, its spawnpoints receive a 0-0.5 second delay. Toggling this on disables this behaviour.

Words

My dragon boyfriend put in all of the real work, and I got to be carried around like a prince for a few weeks, taking this from a simple set of unremarkable code replacements into a full on cop-waterfall generator - but anyway, feel free to let us know if you like/dislike something about this mod and have fun!
