Additional Information

Currently, the Tank suffers from a bug where giving the AI back to the director will reset the Tank's music and force finales to skip to the next stage. To prevent this from happening, you will need to install SourceMod as well as the Tank Reset Fix plugin. Afterwards, you can enable the "EnablePassiveTankDuringFinales" option in the "settings.txt" file located in the "./left4dead2/ems/passivetank/" directory to allow the Tank to play passively during finales.

If you want to change the settings of this add-on and/or know what each of them do, see this thread.

If you want to know how to use chat to change settings in-game, see this thread.

If this add-on gets updated, then I recommend moving the "passivetank" folder out of the "./left4dead2/ems/" directory so the settings in the configuration file will be properly generated.
