For example, infected populations can cause:
For example, infected populations can cause:
*patients, nurses, and surgeons to spawn in a hospital

This means that any areas with the name "<code>hospital</code>" would spawn approximately:
*15% common_male01
*40% common_patient_male01
*15% common_worker_male01
*15% common_female_nurse01
*10% common_surgeon_male01


Additionally, the populations may also allow certain special infected to spawn. This is typically used in conjunction with [[Info_zombie_spawn]]. Currently only hunters, boomers, and smokers can be spawned through infected populations.

Infected populations control which kinds of common infected can be spawned in the different sections of your map.

TSA workers, a baggage handler, a mechanic and citizens in the "Dead Air" terminal.
An uncommon Ceda Agent among Common infected, in the front of the "Vannah" hotel.

For example, infected populations can cause:

  • Patients, nurses, and surgeons to spawn in a hospital
  • Military personnel to spawn in a military base
  • Rural citizens to spawn on a farm
  • Police officers to spawn on a street filled with police cars

The basics

Each defined population has a name and a list of model names with associated percentages. The percentages within each population add up to 100% and define how frequently each type of infected should be spawned within the area.

For example, the "hospital" population is defined as: 

hospital
	{
		common_male01		15 //15% chance to spawn this infected
		common_patient_male01 	40 //40% chance to spawn this infected
		common_worker_male01	15 //15% chance to spawn this infected
		common_female_nurse01	15 //15% chance to spawn this infected
		common_surgeon_male01	10 //10% chance to spawn this infected
	}

Additionally, the populations may also allow certain special infected to spawn. This is typically used in conjunction with Info_zombie_spawn. Currently only hunters, boomers, and smokers can be spawned through infected populations.

To specify a default population for the whole map, set "z_population" to the name of the desired population entry.

To specify populations within your map, your nav mesh areas must be given place names corresponding to those defined in population.txt, located within the "scripts" directory of your Left 4 Dead installation.

How To Use Them In a Map

  1. Load your map in Left 4 Dead.
  2. Enable cheats by typing sv_cheats 1 into the console.
  3. Type Nav_Edit 1 in the console to see the nav mesh.
  4. Type Nav_Toggle_Place_Mode into the console and hit enter (or use Nav_Set_Place_Mode). You should hear a beep signaling it was turned on. There is a different sound when you disable this.
  5. Type Nav_Use_Place <place name> in the console. This is like picking the color of a paintbrush in an image editing program. It decides what place name will be used for all of the place commands. This place name will be referred to as your chosen place name.
  6. Paint your nav areas.
  • Type Nav_Place_Floodfill in the console to flood fill, using the chosen place name, all areas that can be reached from the nav area at which your cursor is pointed (as well as the area at which your cursor is pointed). You should use this first to set your map's default spawn type. For instance, if you're making a Hospital map but want to fine-tune a few areas, you want to set the entire map to use "hospital" so that there are no remaining nav areas using "default".
  • You can paint areas individually using Nav_Place_Set.
  • You can also turn on a special painting mode with Nav_Toggle_Place_Painting. This command will paint every nav area you look at with the chosen place name.
  • You can use Nav_Place_Pick as a sort of eyedropper for your chosen place name. It will pick the place name from the area you are looking at at and use it as your new chosen place name.
  • You can use the Cvar Nav_Begin_DragSelecting followed by Nav_End_DragSelecting to select a large horizontal area to select navmeshes. But after using these commands, you must toggle Nav_Toggle_Place_Mode back on, because it will be turned off
  • You could also use Nav_Select_Radius 500 to select 500 units worth of navmesh around you to then paint. You may use however many units you want.
  1. Type Nav_Toggle_Place_Mode into the console and hit enter (or use Nav_Set_Place_Mode) to turn place mode off. You'll hear a different sound signifying that it has been turned off.
  2. Save the navigation mesh by typing Nav_save into the console.
  3. Use Nav_Edit 0 to turn off the nav grid display.

List of Useful Commands

z_population
Sets the default population for all nav areas that do not specify a place name.
nav_set_place_mode <0/1>
Sets the editor into or out of place mode. Place mode allows labeling of area with place names.
nav_toggle_place_mode
Toggle the editor into and out of place mode. Place mode allows labeling of area with place names.
nav_toggle_place_painting
Toggles place painting mode. When place painting, pointing at an area will 'paint' it with the chosen place name.
nav_place_list
Lists all place names used in the map.
nav_mark_unnamed
Marks all areas with no place name. Useful for finding stray areas missed while place painting.
nav_use_place <optional: place name>
If used without arguments, all available place names will be listed. If a place name argument is given, it becomes the chosen place name.
nav_place_floodfill
Sets the place name of the area at which your cursor is pointed to the chosen place name, and 'flood-fills' the chosen place name to all areas that can be reached from the area at which your cursor is pointed.
nav_place_pick
Changes the chosen place name to the place of the area under the cursor.
nav_place_replace
Replaces all instances of the first place name with the second place name.
nav_place_set
Sets the place name of all selected areas to the chosen place name.

Left 4 Dead 2 Populations

L4D2 used its own L4D2 Common Infected on all L4D1 maps until The "Last Stand" update added all L4D1 Common Infected, along with new Uncommon Infected models and populations to the L4D1 maps.
This caused all L4D1 populations, such as "Hospital" to have two variants. One variant using L4D2 CI and one using L4D1 CI. This section lists all populations, including the old L4D1 versions using only L4D2 CI. The new "L4D1 CI" populations are listed separately below.
The populations are listed by map specific populations, but any campaign can make use of any other populations as filler.

Creating a User-Defined Population

Population file changes will only affect the maps listed in all Mission Files contained the same addon VPK.
Example: Including the "Campaign10" and "Campaign11" mission files to the VPK file to only have "Death Toll" and "Dead Air" use the modified population. Template:ModernNote


For new population groups, open population.txt, scroll to the very bottom and add the following after the last population entry, but before the final closing curly bracket }. 

	custom_population_1
	{
		common_male_tankTop_jeans	55
		common_male_riot 45
	}

Use as many model names as you want, but make sure the numbers add up to exactly 100.
Place the modified population.txt into the "Scripts" subfolder of whatever folder will later become your addon VPK.

To enable custom populations to be placed into the nav mesh, temporarily pack the custom population file into an addon VPK, because the nav mesh nav_use_place command will only allow using the populations from the currently loaded population file. Template:ModernWarning
