SWAG + Donuts - Dynamic Spawn Waves and Custom Spawn Points 3.3.5

SPT 3.8.0 ONLY

This update includes performance improvements, bug fixes and some new stuff.

Performance Improvements

Some Donuts code has been refactored from running every frame and instead runs every second which should provide a significant performance boost. Huge thanks to Chomp for the idea and DanW (Questing Bots mod author) for using some of their code!

Global Minimum Spawn Distance From Player Improvements

Before this update the code for checking player distance from bots was slow at certain times which would still cause certain bots to spawn too close to the player. Now this code has been improved greatly so that it checks this distance value just before the bot is ready to spawn instead of earlier in the process which makes this check far more accurate.

NEW: Global Minimum Spawn Distance From Other Bots (Optional)

Similar to Distance From Player, these values set a minimum distance that bots can spawn from each other. If this check fails then that spawn will be skipped. Default is disabled.

NEW: Set your own Despawn Interval (Advanced Settings, Optional)

Under the BepInEx Advanced Settings for Donuts you can adjust how fast Donuts despawns bots in your raid. By default this is set to 10 seconds. Note: lowering this value may affect your performance!

DONUTS PRESETS

All spawn points re-balanced

SWAG

all boss spawn chances updated to match live (Kollontay added to Ground Zero)

SPT 3.8.0 ONLY

This in a minor update that adds compatibility and support for Punisher mod by GrooveypenguinX and Raid Overhaul mod by DjLang for custom bosses.

NEW: Legion - Raid Overhaul Custom Boss

The future SPT 3.8 update of Raid Overhaul will include a custom boss, Legion. To enable, go to bossConfig and scroll down to custom bosses. For more info, stay tuned for the new RO update (thank you DjLang!)

OTHER CHANGES

- Punisher compatibility improvements for SPT 3.8 (contributor: GrooveypenguinX)

- Labs added to Killa in bossConfig (was previously missing)

SPT 3.8.0 ONLY

This update includes a number of fixes and improvements that should bring more consistency to spawn counts and PMC/SCAV numbers on all presets, especially at the start of raid.

Additionally, this update includes performance improvements with bot spawning stutters many people experience, special thanks to DrakiaXYZ!

Be sure to install Waypoints 1.4.2+ for the best possible performance.

As always, thank you all for reporting issues and providing feedback and thanks for using this mod! A special thanks to Nahl from the SPT discord for all of their time spent testing many of the changes below.

NEW: Despawn PMCs or SCAVs

You can now enable/disable despawning for either PMC, SCAV or both (thank you Solarint for the suggestion!)

NEW: starting-pmcs-only-late-scavs (preset)

Same as starting-pmcs-only-live-like but 0 SCAVs spawn at the start of raid (Default is some SCAVs may spawn). With this preset there is a 2-5 minute window from the start of raid before SCAVs can start spawning. This preset has also been added to the random selections of "Starting PMCs Only (Random)" from the Donuts preset selector.

FIXED

- Global Minimum Spawn Distance From Player for Each Map not working as intended

- Customs: SCAV sniper in odd places (was using an incorrect bot zone, thanks Nahl!)

PRESET CHANGES

- spawn point balancing for all points, all presets

- starting-pmcs-only-live-like-alt: some starting PMC points have been changed on certain maps for added variety

- live-like-alt-2: now uses the same starting PMC points as above for added variety

- starting-pmcs-only (all presets)

- balanced all SCAVs - SCAV pop on all maps should be much better (especially smaller maps)

MAP SPAWN CHANGES

- Woods

- re-grouped points so that it is less crowded in Zone_RedHouse at the start of raid

- Customs

- re-grouped points so that it is less crowded in ZoneCustoms at the start of raid

DONUTS

- performance improvements (contributor: DrakiaXYZ)

- improved some Donuts menu option descriptions for clarity

- re-adjusted default Global Minimum Distance From Player values for all maps to more sensible levels

SWAG

- re-zoned some bosses and other types (like Bloodhounds) so that no "boss" share a zone (by default). This is to avoid any spawn blockage due to zone sharing (thank you Luna for the suggestion!)

SPT 3.8.0 ONLY

NEW: Global Minimum Spawn Distance From Player for Each Map

Instead of a single value for all maps you can now set the global min spawn distance per map from the F12 menu. The global option must be enabled for these to work, otherwise the spawn point parameter is used instead (in the Donuts spawn files).

CHANGES

- all presets, all maps re-balanced

- added new SCAV hot spot spawn point to Old Gas on Customs (all presets)

FIXED

- boss-mania Labs properly spawns bosses instead of PMCs

- Woods Big Mountain cliff spawn point where bots would fall off and die

- Ground Zero spawn points inside of the bank, 2nd floor in particular would get pretty crowded

To Install

1. download zip

2. unzip to your SPT directory, overwrite if needed

3. play

SPT 3.8.0 ONLY

NEW: Global Min Spawn Player Distance option

If enabled, uses this distance (in meters) for ALL spawns as the minimum spawn distance from the player (you). Disabled by default (uses the spawn point configs instead).

- balanced all presets: minor increase to SCAVs; Labs and Factory should be more consistent in spawn count

- fixed Donuts Force Bot Type option

- fixed broken Woods spawn point by the big mountain

- fixed missing scav snipers on Lighthouse and Streets

SPT 3.8.0 ONLY

SWAG + Donuts v3.3.0

A huge thanks to the SPT development team for all of their time, efforts and hard work on releasing SPT 3.8 to the masses!

This is a big update - a lot of things have changed for both SWAG and Donuts. Please take a few minutes to read through the changes as well as the mod page, as I've re-written a lot of the mod page for more clarity. Thank you for using this mod and enjoy!

SAIN is no longer a requirement though it is strongly recommended along with Looting Bots and Questing Bots. Waypoints is still absolutely required, please make sure you have the latest version installed.

DONUTS

The majority of spawn points have been completely overhauled. I've created hundreds of new spawn points for all maps that correspond to custom zones. Additionally, some PMC starting points have been adjusted from their live counterparts for better map spread and balance. Each preset has been balanced separately for their given purpose.

Please see the Custom Zones sections of the mod page for more details.

NEW: Ground Zero spawn points and presets

Custom spawn points have been created in custom zones (see: Donuts - Custom Zone Maps). All starting PMC spawn points are separated by zone and side of map. In live, PMC spawns can be a bit too close to each other on Ground Zero. I've adjusted starting PMC spawns so that they make more sense in regards to location. There are 2-3 points per zone, 1 on each side.

NEW: Force All Bot Type

You can now force PMC or SCAV spawns for all spawn points from the Donuts F12 menu. This can be toggled mid-raid. I've removed the "all-scav" and "all-pmcs" presets since they are no longer necessary with this option.

NEW: PMC/SCAV Hotspot Spawn Boost

If enabled, forces all spawn points labeled with "Hotspot" to always spawn (100% spawn chance) when triggered. This can be toggled mid-raid.

NEW: PMC/SCAV Hotspot Ignore Hard Cap

If enabled, all spawn points labeled with "Hotspot" ignore the "Hard Cap" option. I'll explain with a couple of examples:

Despawn Enabled

Hard Cap Enabled

Spawn Boost Enabled

Hotspot Ignore Hard Cap Enabled

Customs - 10 PMC, 10 SCAV caps

- Raid is full (20 bots total)

- Player enters hot spot area

- Hot spot spawn point is triggered (100% chance)

- Donuts spawns bots over the cap (ignore hard cap is enabled)

- Donuts begins despawning bots furthest away from you down to the max caps

For an optimal experience I suggest enabling all 4 options above, you'll get extra hot spot spawns but save on FPS with the hard cap.

PRESET CHANGES

- some presets removed

- all Donuts caps are now the same for all presets by default. Configurable in the ScenarioConfig.json.

- boss-mania

- all PMCs removed - it's you vs everyone now

- bot type is more random now and includes a chance for Bloodhounds, Raiders or Rogues to spawn in addition to named bosses

MISC CHANGES

- 'INS' and 'DEL' default key binds removed from spawn point editor (not set by default now)

---

SWAG

All SWAG config files have changed name, location or both. Please be sure this is a clean SWAG install. All SWAG files have changed in some way and use a new directory structure:

user\mods\SWAG\config\bosses

user\mods\SWAG\config\custom

user\mods\SWAG\config\other

user\mods\SWAG\config\bosses\goons.json

or

user\mods\SWAG\config\other\cultists.json

etc...

Some older SWAG options have been removed (mostly because I don't want to maintain old features anymore), some new options have been added, please read the below:

NEW: disableAllSpawns

This new option provides a simple way to disable all bosses or other bot type spawns.

NEW: useGlobalSpawnChance & useGlobalBossSpawnChance

Set these to true to use the map spawn chance defined in config.json or bossConfig.json.

If set to false then SWAG will use the "BossChance" defined in the spawn files (i.e. user\mods\SWAG\config\bosses\kaban.json)

NEW: Add other bot types to all maps

You can now add/remove other bot types (i.e. rogues, raiders, etc.) by adjusting the map spawn chance. By default, SWAG adds a single spawn of each bot type to all maps each in a random zone. All spawns are configurable, you can add/remove as much as you would like, see: user\mods\SWAG\config\other\ and the mod page for more info.

- SWAG difficulty "asonline" is a valid option and now randomly selects between easy, normal, hard and impossible.

SPT 3.7.5-3.7.6 ONLY

SWAG + Donuts v3.2.5

Note: SPT 3.7.5+ is required for this update.

FIX: extra spawns (vanilla spawns) would sometimes occur in the first raid after game load

This would unfortunately cause a significant performance drop simply due to the number of bots in that raid. This has been fixed. Special thanks to DrakiaXYZ for investigating and troubleshooting and PreyToLive (BSP mod dev).

NEW: Force PMC faction option

In the F12 menu under a new section, Additional Spawn Settings, you can set to force all your PMC spawns to be USEC, BEAR, or Default which is random.

NEW: PMC & SCAV Spawn Hard Stop option

If enabled, all PMC/SCAV spawns are skipped once there is 300 seconds or less (default) remaining in your raid. The time left in raid is configurable per PMC or SCAV. This is particularly useful for those who prefer fewer spawns depending on time in raid.

Plans for 3.8.0

I'm in the process of a huge spawn point rework with what will be custom "zones" on every map with new, properly labeled spawn points throughout. This will hopefully increase spawn location density and parity significantly for all presets, allow for easier user customization, new mod features in the future and some other cool stuff, stay tuned!

SPT 3.7.4-3.7.6 ONLY

Delete this file BepInEx\config\com.dvize.Donuts.cfg
A lot has changed in the config so this is important to avoid any potential issues.

A huge personal thank you to props, DrakiaXYZ, DanW, the SPT dev team and all who use this mod!

This is a big update - there are a lot of new things and changes, please take the time to read through it all

SWAG + Donuts v3.2.4

NEW: Santa

There is a new SWAG config file for event specific bosses, such as Santa. Santa has been added to all maps and his spawn chance, time and zones are defined here: user\mods\SWAG\config\eventsBossConfig.json, similar to bossConfig.json.

By default, SWAG Santa has a 25% chance to spawn on all maps. SWAG will automatically check if your SPT Christmas event is enabled, if enabled then Santa spawns are automatically enabled. If the SPT event option is disabled, then all Santa spawns are automatically disabled and Christmas is ruined.

NEW: SCAV Raid Preset Selection

You can now select a spawn preset specifically for your SCAV raids. "Random SCAV Raids" is selected by default which randomly selects between one of the new SCAV raid presets (see below)

NEW: scav-raids presets

"scav-raids" and "scav-raids-starting-pmcs-only" have been added. As of SPT 3.7.4, when you enter a raid as a SCAV it will be mid-raid, just like live. To emulate this behavior with presets, SCAV raid presets can spawn more SCAVs, fewer PMCs at the start with moderate variance and lower bot caps. Instead of PMCs spawning at their usual starting locations they will instead spawn near "hot zones" or other areas of the map to simulate PMC location when you enter the middle of a raid as a SCAV.

"scav-raids" includes dynamic PMC spawning throughout the raid (useful for longer raid timers)

"scav-raids-starting-pmcs-only" only spawns a small number of PMCs when you first enter the raid as a SCAV then no more

Each SCAV preset support SCAV Labs raids too, if that's your thing.

NEW: Bot Hard Cap (optional)

If enabled, Donuts will skip PMC and SCAV spawns if your bot count has reached your Donuts caps. Keep in mind that spawn points will continue to trigger regardless, there just won't be any bots spawning if you are at your caps already.

NEW: Configure group chance weights

Group chance weights have been changed to relative weights (similar to how random presets work). The way it works is the same: 25/25/10/10/5 where group sizes are 1/2/3/4/5 respectively.

group odds use this formula: group size weight / total weight = % chance.

To configure, check "Advanced Settings" in the BepInEx Donuts F12 menu.

NEW: Group chance "Random" option

If you can't decide what group chance you want to use selecting "Random" will randomly select between all the group chance options (None and Max included)

NEW: starting-pmcs-only-live-like-alt-2

Most PMC points are different and not like most live points. This is to add variety to PMC action/placement for starting-pmcs-only enjoyers. Donuts bot caps are the same as the other starting-pmcs-only presets and it has been added to the random pool.

NEW: starting-pmcs-only-live-like-late-scavs

Similar to the other starting-pmcs-only-live-like presets but this preset makes it so that SCAVs only start spawning in several minutes into a raid instead of some at the start. This is mostly for users who don't really like PMCs and SCAVs getting into fights very early on.

Fixes

- Rogues and some other bot types ignore SWAG max bot caps

Huge thanks to Cynco for reporting this and DrakiaXYZ for finding the cause. Previously, SWAG spawned Rogues (and sometimes other bots) would seem to ignore any max bot caps set by SWAG. This is because the spawn time is "-1", which ignores any bot caps (this is base game behavior).

So because of this I've adjusted all Rogue spawns, some Cultist and Raider spawns to Time: 1 so that they adhere to the max bot caps set by SWAG as intended. Bosses, snipers and triggered spawns will be left at -1 and continue ignoring the cap. Additionally, all SWAG max bot caps have been reduced slightly (mostly for performance reasons). Friendly reminder that SWAG caps only affect SWAG spawns, NOT Donuts spawns.

- "morescavs" preset had way too many PMCs

- "impossibleraids" on Factory was too empty unintentionally

Changes

- improved Punisher mod compatibility - now all you have to do is flip the punisher option to true, Punisher mod handles the rest and adds the boss to your SWAG spawns automatically. Huge thanks to GrooveypenguinX for all the hard work!

- MinSpawnDistanceFromPlayer increased for all spawns. This is primarily to avoid bots from spawning too close to you in any situation, i.e. mid-looting after a tough fight. Going forward by default all bots will spawn a significant distance away from you. If you prefer close spawns please feel free to change this as you wish.

For spawns that are configured to spawn further away, TriggerDistance is increased to compensate for the increased distance. This is to add variety to the location and distance of scav spawns in particular, so that no matter where you are SCAVs can still far away from you.

SPT 3.7.1-3.7.4 ONLY

DONUTS (updated to 1.3.3)

NEW: RandomScenarioConfig file

You can now create your own random preset pools in a separate file located here: BepInEx\plugins\dvize.Donuts\RandomScenarioConfig.json

Once they're created they can be selected from the drop-down preset selector menu from the Donuts F12 menu. All Donuts bot caps are still defined in ScenarioConfig.json

By default, Donuts ships with the following random presets (defaults to "Random Live Like"):

"Random Live Like" - An equal chance for any of the live-like presets (live-like, alt2, alt3, alt4)

"Random Starting PMCs Only" - An equal chance for either of the starting-pmcs-only-live-like presets

"Whole Lotta SCAVs" - An equal chance for either of the morescavs presets with a small chance for "all-scavs"

"I Like Pain" - A mix of chances for the following presets: "split-starting-pmcs", "crazyraids", "impossibleraids", "boss-mania"

"Quiet Raids" - An equal chance of either of the quietraids presets

Random preset pools are defined like this in the new file:

You can create your own and name them whatever you want, just make sure the preset names match.

NEW: "split-starting-pmcs" preset

This preset spawns PMCs at the start like usual, but also respawns all starting PMCs later in the raid and only them. In most cases, this will happen every 10-20 minutes and all spawn points only have a 50% chance, so there's a good bit of randomness. So, dynamic PMC spawns take longer but there may be more of them if they trigger, it's a bit of a gamble. SCAV spawns are the same.

BUG FIX: Donuts would sometimes not spawn solo bots when supposed to due to a bug in the code. This mostly affected boss-mania bosses, some solo PMC and SCAV spawns, especially when using None or Low group chance. This has been fixed now.

Other Changes

- squad spawns greatly improved (thank you DrakiaXYZ!) - this also improves SAIN compatibility with squads

- lots of balancing in all presets; SCAV spawns increased overall. New points added inside Interchange mall

!! IF YOU USE QUESTING BOTS !!

Please use Questing Bots 0.3.1+ for full compatibility with squads!

SPT 3.7.1 ONLY

Special thanks to props and DanW (Questing Bots, Late to the Party mod author) for all of your work on implementing bot groups!

DONUTS (updated to v1.3.2, thank you props!)

NEW: PMC and SCAV Squads

Now and going forward, any spawns with bot counts greater than 1 will spawn as a squad. What does this mean? Donuts squads use squad AI, so they will generally stick together as they roam, loot and fight throughout your raids. If you use Questing Bots (if you don't, you should - be sure to install the latest), all squads will travel as a squad and quest as a squad, so as they move around the map they'll stick together just as you would expect in live.

NEW: PMC and SCAV Group Chance option

From the F12 menu, you can select the odds of bot squads in your raids. By default, "Default" is used, which is a mix of solos and groups, with 3, 4 and 5-mans decreasing in chance, respectively. None is all solo. Max is the max possible group size defined for the spawn points (in most cases this is 5). This means you can spawn 10-man PMC death squads if you wanted to.

The weight distribution is currently as follows and is subject to change based on feedback:

Group Chance / Solo / 2-man / 3-man / 4-man / 5-man

"None" - 100% solo

"Low" 0.80, 0.18, 0.02, 0.0, 0.0

"Default" 0.42, 0.42, 0.09, 0.05, 0.02

"High" 0.0, 0.15, 0.35, 0.35, 0.15

"Max" 100% max possible count

DONUTS PRESETS

- All presets have been re-balanced for bot squads

- live-like presets re-balanced for fewer PMCs and more SCAVs (still

- impossibleraids, crazyraids bot caps decreased down to live-like bot caps (mostly for performance reasons)

- all-scavs and morescavs presets re-balanced for SCAV squads

OTHER CHANGES

DONUTS

- Default PMC and SCAV difficulty is now "Normal" instead of "AsOnline". This is because when set to "AsOnline", Donuts has a bit more work to do in the backend to cache bots because of varying difficulties, so spawns might be a bit slower.

SWAG

- Killa default spawn chance decreased 35 > 30

- Cultists default spawn chances increased: Customs 10 > 15, Woods 10 > 15, Shoreline 10 > 12

- All sniper default spawn chances decreased 65 > 55

Now and going forward this is how squad spawns work at the start of raid:

Solos or groups may or may not spawn (depending on preset/SpawnChance) and fill to your PMC cap at the start of raid. If your PMC cap has been reached, then no more starting PMCs will spawn (note: this only applies to START OF RAID PMCs)

Additionally, lets assume that 10 PMCs have spawned and your cap is 12. If the next spawn that is triggered is supposed to be a 5-man, Donuts will instead spawn a 2-man so that it doesn't go over the cap. This is so that if you want to spam PMC squads you won't get 20+ PMCs at the start.

!! IF YOU USE QUESTING BOTS !!

Please install the latest release here on the hub for squad compatibility.
