I'm looking for a mutation, mod, or command that only disables certain special infected from spawning, such as only disabling spitter and jockey spawns. So far, all I know from the console commands on the wiki is that you can only disable all of the SI spawn chances at once, not individually.

Every Level ends with you trying to enter a safe room that some jackasses blockaded.

as the title says! i try playing it, but i am SO DAMN bad at playing infected, survivors crush me harder than charger does bruv

Title.

I’ve installed versus practice mutations from the workshop, so I can play as special infected versus bot survivors.

The two problems I’ve run into are

-I can’t pick the infected I want to play, and when.

There are certain map sections that I want practice on a specific infected, like for testing out a potential death charge or a rocket boom spot. This is difficult when the game doesn’t let you pick which infected you’re spawning as (totally get why this isn’t in real versus, but I can’t find anything for this in the workshop)

-I can’t stay on one map infinitely due to bot progression + inability to turn off director

I’m trying to upgrade my Hunter game, so I’m spending basically the entire chapter fiddling with ceiling pounces and stuff like that. Problem is that the bots keep moving and for whatever reason, the administrator plugins I have do not work in the OFFLINE versus mode. So once the bots reach the saferoom it abruptly stops my session. I’d like to be able to freeze them in place and turn off the director, so that they can be off in a random corner safely giving me as much time as I want to practice specific spots.

Side questions-

I’ve noticed some proficient spitter plays during elevator openings. It looks like they’re spitting in the elevator door seam as it opens, but when I try that, it doesn’t spread. I’ve seen spitter goo that COMPLETELY fills the elevators during dead center ch1+finale. Any tips on where to aim, and when to shoot?!

Also, when I’m playing boomer it feels like it takes forever for my bile to actually come out. I often feel like I picked a great spawn point but I often get shut down without booming even when I have a second or two before anyone notices me. Does it just come down to animation cancelling? I’ve seen a lot of good special infected players scratching with m2 before using their m1 ability. I don’t need help with the decision making of where and when to spawn, but the mechanics elude me.

oh man, what a lovely day!

haven't tried versus yet, let's see what it looks like! (immediately gets kicked and called multiple slurs)

seriously, what's with it? sure, i'm kinda new to the game, but aren't there any people out there even actually enjoying versus? i get that some people aren't what most versus players are, and i commend them, but goddamn. at least some were polite about me being kicked, some just called me slurs and left.

are there:

• explanations to why this is like this?

• people with private matches to try out versus in (i don't have many steam friends and the only person to tag along with me got bullied hard)
