(v1.19.0) No Howlers and Reduced Viral Jumpings

If you're like me, you play with a high zombie density mod.  However, it presents one teeny tiny little issue...  Howler and Viral spam makes combat almost entirely pointless as you're punished by unrelenting howler spam that then brings all the virals to the yard.  It's terrible.  Since nobody updated the "No Virals or Howlers during the daytime" mod for some reason, here you go.  In my testing, I didn't encounter a single howler, and while Virals were still present, you are able to freely hack and slash without worrying about playing through a left 4 dead horde event. Also, I did comment out some spitter spawns, so if they spawn less or not at all, that's why.  Whoops.

To install, rename dataX to data1-7, or just merge the file into another data pack you have.

Mod permissions: Do literally whatever you want with this, all I did was type a bunch of slashes for, like, 3 minutes straight.  No credits necessary.

If this mod doesn't work with future versions:

Isolating the file:

-This mod messes with "aipresetpools.scr" found in data0's scripts folder.

-Copy paste the file outside of data0 into wherever, preferably a work folder of your choice.

-Open the file (Right-click and hit edit with your preferred text editor or simply rename the file to be .txt)

Removing howlers:

-Hit ctrl+f and search "Screamer"

-You're looking for these: PresetWeighted("Character;Screamer", XX)

(The X's are placeholders, they have values like 40, 10, 35, etc etc. in the actual file)

-Comment them out to look like //PresetWeighted("Character;Screamer", XX)

There's a lot, and I mean a LOT of these so...  Set aside a few minutes.

-Make sure you also look for these: Preset("Character;PM_Screamer;Scenario;General")

And these: Preset("Character;Screamer;Scenario;General")

-Comment them out as well, though I'm not as sure if you absolutely need to.

You're welcome to use this mod as reference.

-Make sure you save your changes!

Less Viral Jumpings:

-Hit ctrl+f and search "Reinforcement Pools"

Make sure it's NOT tower raid reinforcements!

-Scroll down and comment out everything with virals.  I started off with Pool("Default_Infected_Reinforcement_Pool"), but it could change in later versions.

You can comment out lines like "Pool("Default_Infected_Reinforcement_Pool")" but I realized it wasn't necessary.
