Finale Soldiers - Core Version Only

[h1]>>> BASIC TUTORIAL CLICK HERE <<<[/h1]

[h2]WORKS ON CUSTOM MAPS BUT YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY ADD FINALE SPAWN POINTS - YOU CAN ALSO DISABLE/ENABLE FINALE SPAWNS ON SELECTED MAPS.

PLEASE READ FUNCTIONALITY & UPDATES DISCUSSION FOR A FULL GUIDE. [/h2]

WHAT IT IS

Adds stationary AI soldier bots (rifleman, marksman, machinegunner) that reinforce survivors. Mark spawn points anywhere, or just play - 9 campaigns work out of the box.

"Don't trust them with your life - their combat experience isn't exactly top-tier."

YOU NEED 2 ADDONS

Version 2.0 splits Finale Soldiers into a Core (this addon - all the logic) plus a separate Model Pack (soldier appearance). Subscribe to BOTH:

• Finale Soldiers - Core (this addon) - required
• Exactly ONE Model Pack (required, pick a look): Default US Military or Canadian Military (Cold Front's original look) or other models that is compatible for this addon.

Enable only ONE Model Pack at a time - the two intentionally share files with each other, so having both enabled shows as a conflict. That's expected, not a bug.

Collections are found here: Model Packs

VERSION 2.0 - MODEL PACK SYSTEM

This is version 2.0 - splits into Core plus your choice of Model Pack, so you can swap the soldiers' look.

If you want a single standalone addon with no setup, use Finale Soldiers - Standalone instead.

QUICK COMMANDS

!cfrifle / !cfsniper / !cfmg  - spawn at your position
!cfmark <rifle|sniper|mg>      - save an AutoSpawn point here
!cfmarkfinale <rifle|sniper|mg> - save a point for when the rescue vehicle arrives
!cfhelp                         - full command list in chat

Optional Numpad Controls

!cfmenu uses typed chat numbers by default and never changes keybinds automatically.

For direct numpad controls:

• Back up your numpad bindings or config.cfg.
• Type !cfnumpad in chat.
• Read the warning.
• Type !cfnumpad confirm within 30 seconds.
• Numpad "." opens !cfmenu, while numpad 0–9 selects menu options. These bindings may persist after restarting the game. Restore them using your own binding CFG or rebind them manually.

MAKE YOUR OWN MODEL PACK

Use the Default Model Packs (US Military / Canadian Military) as your reference - same file structure, same paths - so your pack stays consistent with Core and drops in the same way.

[h2]Note: "Which finales qualify" is a judgment call, not a strict rule - your taste may vary on what feels right. That's exactly why every map's FinaleSpawn can be switched off independently without touching AutoSpawn or your saved points.[/h2]
