More Items

This addon will help increase the overall amount of items spawned on every map.
Item density is increased to 12 items from the previous 6.48 items. Essentially a x2 increase to overall spawned items.

The item density is calculated per 100 square yards. Which is the eqivalent of a hammer cube with each side being 360 units long.
1 inch = 1 unit. 1 yard = 36 inches/units. 100 square yards = 10x10 yards (360x360 inches/units).

I realized very quickly that out of the 170,000+ addons in the workshop there were none that just simply increased the amount of items using the maps predefined spawn locations. There are ones that drop items when you kill an infected (common or special), or ones that spawns random items when you break something, as well as one more that has extra manually placed items on top of what the original map has but this one only works for the original campaigns and not all the workshop campaigns. My addon works for all campaigns even workshop, when there are unused spawn locations that don't currently have an item, my addon will help fill those locations.

You must use this addon as the host of a local host server or host your own dedicated server with this addon installed. This addon will not work on Official Dedicated servers from Valve.

Subscribe to the addon that's it. Everything else is handled for you.

Campaign and Tank Run were tested and work well. Any game mode that has spawn locations that traditionally are not always used, then my addon should work for those game modes and spawn more items.

Yes. Please read the next question and answer to learn more.

Every map has dedicated spawn locations where items can spawn. These locations are predefined by the level designer. If the level designer places for example 10 spawn locations and only fills 5 of those 10 locations, then this addon will help fill those last 5 unused spawn locations. But if the level designer uses all 10 locations 100% of the time you will notice no extra items spawning.

On Valve campaigns there are many predefined spawn locations so that items are always spawning in different areas. This of course allows for RNG so the same items are not always where you would expect them to be. With this addon installed it helps fill those empty spawn locations. Some workshop maps have much less predefined spawn locations so depending on the map you might notice less.

Valve has 6.48 items every 10x10 yards. With this addon installed it brings it up to 12 items every 10x10 yards.

I tried 100, 50, 30 and 12. I found that at higher item counts it could on rare occasions crash workshop maps because it would hit the entity limit. After testing many workshop maps I found that 12 was a good compromise of extra items and having game stability for not crashing.

Yes. The base code of this addon (pinned discussion) is available for you to inspect, learn, and distribute your own version. You are not required to credit me if you wish not to. If you do credit me thank you!
