My vision of how things are supposed to go were for others to camp in the office. I survived with ease on normal using the doors and lights. Advanced and expert with others, yes, being inherently more challenging. The decision for others to camp else where is out of my control, and I do not have the time and resources to test out each individual location and adjust accordingly (much less advanced+expert solo) on a map that took significant engine breaking and manual balance adjustments. I'm also unclear what specifically needs to be addressed, or if that comment was merely a slightly humorous, objective anecdotal experience with an indirect implication of satisfactory balance. If it's too many infected, we may as well adjust the infected for every difficulty, and then you run into the issue of easy and normal potentially being challenge-less. I refuse and absolutely will not spend several more free hours manually adjusting a new, unique balance for each difficulty alone and ultimately determining if its beatable. It's not that I won't ever adjust the balance, but I do need (and am open) suggestions and data, and I'm pretty burnt out with the (free) several hours I've spent testing (with me and other testers coming to the conclusions the map is beatable, even on expert) and hoping others will have the same experience . It's unfortunate that 2 hunters showed up during a tank phase. Was this an unlucky one-time thing? (You can checkout the changelog for access to the numbers for each night, or you could open the .vpk too) Should I reduce max special infected? Change around the available special infected? Adjust respawn intervals, and/or depending on the night? Adjust the special infected only during tank phases and make sure it works for each difficulty? I'm still open to adjusting if someone can provide sufficient data and test using hundreds of hours with 0 compensation just like I have. If anyone needs help with the technical side, I will gladly oblige. . From what I could deduce, it is not possible for *every* item, for that matter, to carry over on the harder difficulties (may as well do it for every difficulty), but that doesn't mean it's a good idea. I cannot control how the engine decides it wants to transition weapons. Its behavior is too unpredictable to have weapons manually placed on a map with more than 2 checkpoints, and thus you end up with meta-breaking balance. That is why those weapons disappeared in the secret room. If for instance, I had *manually* placed those items on the Night 2 map file, and the map transitioned to Night 3 (with also manually placed items), those items would duplicate thus having a broken balance (which weapons were transitioned? which were the manually placed ones? Only one way to find out, which I refuse to do and probably would end up not working anyway). Depending on whether I have them placed on the following night, they're going to end up disappearing anyway, despite the navigational mesh being 95% identical across each map (saferooms being the outlier). Unless someone can point me to an author of a campaign with 1 map and multiple checkpoints, and working non-saferoom weapon transitioning, I've simply done the best I could within limitations and non-saferoom weapon transitioning. It's simply just how it is.

I've recompiled it, feel free to try again
