My mutation is using qutie a bit of custom convar settings in the mode file. When you launch it from the console everything works, but if you start the mutation from the menu, none of the convars get set.

Is the convar list supported in EMS?

Good point. It also depends on the amount of damage the the SI deal, and max health. This kind of thing needs a lot of tweaking, and having more options can be useful.

Using it already. I'm also disabling incapping damage from commons with AllowTakeDamage(). Ideally, I'd want something that can unincapp the survivor after some time, to only give them a small penalty.

You can enable developer mode with either the -dev or -allowdebug switch when starting the game. I don't think it's differs from the developer cvar.

For protecting against damage from commons you can use AllowTakeDamage instead.

The "infected" classname is only used for commons, SI use "player".

I'm dusting off an unfinished pvp speedrunning mutation. The goal is to be the first into the saferoom, the infected only being there to slow you down. The AllowTakeDamage and game event functions have been really helpful here.

There still are some challanges I haven't figured out yet:
Automatically revive survivors when they are incapped.
Kill off the non-winning survivors.
Finding the leading survivor, and put his name on the HUD, together with distance left to the saferoom.
Make the bots behave competitively.

I noticed that the Visual Studio 2010 module is already included in the beta distribution, and tried it out.

The module installed fine, and it's possible to create Squirrel projects. However, I haven't been able to attch the debugger to the game VM. The game opens up a listen port with script_debugger_attach but the IDE can't see it in the Attach to process... dialog. I guess there is some piece of the puzzle still missing.

Functions for Incapping/Unincapping and killing players would also be good.

Looks like they're broken in the example mutations as well.

I followed the wiki instructions on creating a HUD, while the HUD itself shows up fine, the dynamic data added with datafunc doesn't update. The variables the lambda functions return have their right values.

Am I missing something here, or is it a bug?

Trigger_once is a bit buggy in the old version as well, it doesn't reset until you reload the level completely. Might be a good idea to always use trigger_multiple.
