First no, there is no other option to prolong the crash. it's the entity index, nothing to do with graphic.

If you mean your custom tank chance. Currently there us no option yet. So the chance will be 50/50 if you set spawn both super tanks from premade and custom.
If you want to spawn your custom super tanjs only then set it in general file

hello thanks for the reply, understood on engine limitation.

is there anything i can do like lowering graphics, minimizing effects, console commands, tick rate, etc to help prolong the inevitable (maximize more failed runs)?

as for custom tank sorry but i dont see variable for special / custom chance.
i've tested by adding Overlord_Chance = X (0 or 100% chance to spawn overlord/variant) to the custom tank file for that custom tank's common version but it doesnt seem to be working. both versions still keep spawning, my biggest issue is how the chance to roll for custom tanks is very high like 90% so i rarely see the other non-custom tanks spawn

Sadly no. When you play, either you win or restart the engine will keep createing a new entry index. You can check by using console command status you will see entity index.
After that many repeats no wonder the game will likely crash

About tank chance you can set each class in mod setting files but still mod will spawn in superior priority special > overlord > variant > common.
Eg you set special to 1, overlord to 5, variant to 30
When tank spawns mod will do special rng if not hits the jackpot > do overlord rng if hits then spawn overlord

also is there any way to adjust custom tank chance? it always spawn in priority even if its overlord..

hi negan thanks for the reply, I only play official maps and everything works fine until 10-15th failed repeat. so i remedy it by just restarting client after 4-5 failed runs, but public players find this tedious. i am not familiar with technicalities but is there no way to reset/reload all the stress/build up in the engine everytime the map is restarted?

@James , some custom maps are heavily edited with extra particles and textures which is the cause of your crash problem as the mod creator explained in the description. When a super tank with various screen effects spawns, the game engine can't hold so much together unfortunately.

is there anyway to make this mod crash less? after around 10-15 repeat of failed runs of same map i get overflow error. will lowering graphics to low help?

@Tri Tran
Default speed value for Death is 0.8 as you can see in the tank_power_setting.txt. This value is 1 in default for other super tanks who don't have any speed powers (which is the regular tank's speed).
If you increase that value beyond 1, death tank will move even faster than a regular tank. Making it 2 means 2 times faster which i do not recommend for a super tank that can one shoot survivors xD

@₦Ɇ₲₳₦ Miraculously, when I adjusted the chance to 15%, the Overlord type appeared again—thank you for your support. By the way, may I ask about the Death Tank’s speed customization? When the value is increased, does that make its speed go up or down?

Super tanks don't spawn in Tank run Mutation.

@Tri Tran , Can you try to keep spawning tank using commands or an admin system to see their frequency of spawning? I feel like you get extremely unlucky. I made so many tests myself and i had no trouble with them.

And another question:
Have you tried to see if they spawn once you set an overlord's spawn chance to 100?
Waiting for your feedback.

@₦Ɇ₲₳₦ Hello, I haven't seen Overlords lately. I played 10 games and none of them had Overlords. I deleted the folder ems , but nothing changed.

@Tri Tran , Some tanks don't have overlords yet. Increasing their overlord spawn chance might cause a regular tank to spawn instead. If you still have the same problem, you can get in contact with me

Despite increasing the spawn probability of the "TANK Overlord" type and setting "Overlord_Tank_Limit = 2," I still do not see that type of TANK appear when I play.

HAHHAHA

@Everice At least I can package it myself into a VPK file.

No way to pack it into vpk file as I don't have pc/laptop atm

@Everice Can you upload it to the cloud and tweak the description or whatever?

Already did it but unfortunately I neither have laptop nor pc to update the mod

@Everice Have you update Finale_Only function?

@Adash1ng// Kick , Yes you can, but you need to make those configurations through mod files. All explained in the guide page

I really like the mod, but it would be better if it could appear in front of a specific tank, for example Authority Tank, thus challenging ourselves to a powerful tank or simply showing what the tank is like in a fight. I don't know if this could be done with the admin menu.

@₦Ɇ₲₳₦ Haha, that's okay! my settings are rather "unhinged" actually. I use the guide as a reference to adjust the stats on my own. These settings are for 4 playes as well.

Most Common/Variant Super Tanks have 75k HP (some of them are 50k-30k HP instead like for the Death Tank, Bloodlust Tank, and Necromancer Tank)

Overlord Super Tanks have 50k HP (30k HP for Fortress Tank due to its 70% DR and Gravecaller Tank since its almost a guaranteed team wipe when encountering this specific overlord)

Hidden Super Tanks have 25k HP

I even up their powers slightly as well.

Most of the weapons are buffed (T3 Weapons are ST Killers) while my own Survivors config have their own perks to make it somehow a unique experience for my playthroughs with my friends xd

Once again, one of the best addons for alternative experience and I love it!

@Nomad you can disable it through setting files

It's good, but it would be good if you disabled the immortal tank, because in survival it's impossible HAHA

@Nerdgear , I had recommended some settings for veteran players in the guide page. You can make the same settings for the best experience if you wish.

The best addon I've ever played so far for alternative experience.

Encountered the Arcana Tank somehow and took it down

Can you update this to include "Deviant Tanks" for the general public?

@Cepper1232 You can create custom super tanks through specific files. I recommend you to visit the guide page in the description. You can easily reach the information you need about creating custom super tanks.

Is it possible to ever get Super Forms for the other Special Cast. Would be a lot of fun having this chaos with all those Tanks and Specials with their own twists

Tht map already has a lot of particles inside building. Fire, smoke, sparks and more. Spawning super tank with a lot of particles will most likely crash the game or make those objects invisible

Why don't the super tanks appear in the first map of Dead Center? Only the regular tank appears

@Adash1ng // TikTok
There is not a command to be able to spawn a specific tank. But you can configure which one/ones to spawn through setting files. All the information you need is well documented in the guide in the mod's description. You can learn even more about it. I recommend.

How can I summon a specific tank? For example, Linker Tank? I have an admin menu in case it's necessary.

love it :D

hi "everice" i will like to talk about something with super tanks into another game if you could add me and talk about i will apricated (sorry if there is mis speling but english not my main language)

I am enjoying playing this mod with my friends!

Can see them in the archive titled Left 4 Dead 2 coop. (｡･･｡)

authority tank crashes game

alchemist overlord script is still ongoing. i made the settings for testing. too bad i didn't finish it in time before moving. using alchemist overlord in custom will be the same as variant

@Everice ik you dont have a pc rn but thought I would let you know that in tank power settings there is mention of an alchemist overlord but I dont think there actually is one, I type alchemist_overlord into my custom tank and it just behaves exactly like the variant

i'm not available for modding atm. moved to another country for job, don't have pc or laptop. meanwhile you can create your own super tanks, read the guide for detail how to create your own super tanks

will there ever be new tanks in the future? ^_^

@Poseidos Hello. Can you try deleting the mod folder in the description?
This is the destination: Go to [L4D2 Directory] > left4dead2 > ems > evericemod > super_tanks
Delete 'super_tanks' folder .
Then launch the game.
Create a new lobby with local server.
Try again. Let me know if the same problem happens.

hola necesito una ayuda con este mod del super tank... la primera vez q lo instale todo me funcionava... y ahora que al dia siguiente volvi a ejecutar el juego... de todos mis mod el unico que no me funciona es del super tank ?... alguien podria ayudarme.. porque ya inicie el juego muchas veces.. nuevamente quite y agregue el mod del super tank pero tampoco funciona.. ayuda porfavor....

Hi, I need help with this Super Tank mod... the first time I installed it everything worked... and now the next day I ran the game again... of all my mods, the only one that doesn't work is the Super Tank?... could someone help me... because I've started the game many times... again I removed and added the Super Tank mod but it doesn't work either... please help...

@Mark. you can create a custom super tank by your own. if you specific stats for the tank you can put power you want into your custom tank then name it the same as my tanks. with this you can have your own super tanks as you please
custom super tank even has more options for the tank you might want yo check it out in guide

@Mark Hello, is your question about seperating super tanks based on their classes while editing in text file? This can't happen because of one reason. As you see, you can change a super tank's variant chance and overlord chance and more. In default, if you change for example, Death Tank's settings, these settings will affect it's variant Void Tank and it's overlord Soulrender Tank. I noticed you also want to know which ones are the best ones or not. The best recommendation i can offer you would be reading the full guide about the super tanks. Everything is very detailed there. It's linked in the description.

Could you do an update with the tanks that are in variant and overlord status, for example:
---------------------------
Void Tank Variant

Base_Damage = 100
Base_Health = 4000
Difficulty_Appearance = 5
Enable = true
Finale_Only = false
Fire_Immune = false
Health_Multiply = 0
Overlord_Chance = 5
Overlord_Base_Health = 4000
Variant_Chance = 30
Variant_Fire_Immune = false

----------------------------

and with the Overlord

Cataclysm Tank

Base_Damage = 100
Base_Health = 4000
Difficulty_Appearance = 5
Enable = true
Finale_Only = false
Fire_Immune = false
Health_Multiply = 0
Overlord_Chance = 5
Overlord_Base_Health = 4000
Variant_Chance = 30
Variant_Fire_Immune = false

Or is it impossible?
It would be nice to have all the tanks so we can figure out which one is the best or not

@EclipseRider999 Some special infected gain powers by specific super tanks. You can read the guide in the description.

super special infected?
