We are tested this campaign on gungamemod server and is working properly.

See ya.

Tested on 18, infinite tank conflict with double tank plugin on map 2.

Tested on 19, no issues.

Thanks for testing.
I'll have a look at 18.

Same thing like with Farewell Chenming. Modification of tank on custom map is in conflict with 2 tank plugin. Works with hulk tank in ggm, or supertank in 2019. My opinion is ignore or delete from 2018 that custom map. Who want play, may use other servers

I did some more research on the MultiTanks plugin. The MultiTanks plugin developer warned that infinite tanks appear on maps when the tank is scripted to load before the survivors leave the safe zone.

I have a theory that the only reason why a map developer would do this is if the tank is scripted to appear at a specific location in the map. However, I don't believe this is the only way to load scripted tanks. Otherwise, this would also happen in the Sacrifice map 1.

In White Forest, the tank is scripted to appear at a specific location in the caves. Also, in the Bloody Moors map 1, a tank is scripted to appear behind the door in the abandoned house. In Farewell Chenming map 3, it's scripted to appear in the dojo.

I have seen the infinite tank conflict occur in other maps, but it doesn't happen 100% of the time. Some other issue may be responsible for that happening like in the finale of Suicide Blitz after playing the Easter egg (unless an extra tank spawn is part of the Easter egg). I have also seen this before with the second set of tanks in the finale of Swamp Fever before Virgil arrives, but that time, the tanks were not infinite. There were only something like 10-12 of them instead of the normal amount.

But yes, I agree that White Forest should probably be removed from 18 because the tank spawn location is in a narrow corridor in the mines early in map 2 where you have virtually no chance to make it to the saferoom.

Fun fact: If I understood the plugin correctly, then technically, the tank spawn isn't infinite. It's capped at 65535 (2¹⁶ - 1) tanks, but who has time for that?

I've created a map config file for wfp2_horn map (second map of White Forest campaign) which should disable the multitank feature only for that map.
On the other maps in that campaign multitank stays enabled.

I've also disabled it right now for msdnew_tccity_newway map (third map of Farewell Chenming campaign).

Multitank was already disabled for all maps in the Bloody Moors campaign.

So please have a try if the endless tank problem is now fixed in that maps.
And please tell me if I should disable multitank plugin on other maps too.
Thanks

Thanks for your hard work alBert. I will try to test these campaigns this weekend.

Thanks

Just test it, in msdnew_tccity_newway i kill in beginning of map 8 tanks, in one moment was 4 in same time, spawn by 2

I've used the same config as for Bloody Moors.
So when it is not working I have no idea at the moment.

i just try wfp2_horn, and same issue

I think problem is in custom SKIN of tank, from custom map developer. In white forrest or farewell chenming all tanks use custom skin moddel, where tank wear tshirt. Is not location spawn problem, because in msdnew_tccity_newway   map, tank was infinite in 90 % in 75 % progress map - when player enter in japanese gym (dojo), but today tank spawn in 1st 25% of map, when u jump from broken highway.

white forrest - yellow tanks

If MultiTanks is successfully disabled on those maps, then it shouldn't matter what the tank customization is. If they are still spawning infinitely, then that suggests MultiTanks is not (entirely) responsible for the infinite tank spawn.

I think the Suicide Blitz finale tanks are also skinned, but there's uncertainty with them. Three tanks spawn in either the second wave of the finale or the escape, which becomes six when doubled. I haven't played that campaign in a long time so I don't remember the details clearly, and I've never stuck around long enough to find out if there were more than six tanks active at once.

Let Albert tell if im wrong, but all that maps work normal in other servers, for example, 2019, and difference between 2018 and 2019 is - one have supertank (no infinite), and other have 2 tanks (and infinite), i dont see other customization, or recognize unique sourcemod plugins in 2018 different from 2019

I also tested map 2 of White Forest and the tanks still keep coming.

It might be that MultiTanks isn't completely disabled. Could there be additional properties, variables, or plugins that need to be disabled in the map config file?
