The plugin known as BotSpawn which I was using to spawn Murderers at monuments has been cancelled due to the December update.  It is now a 40 dollar plugin called BotRespawn which has outraged a lot of people who feel it is a way of holding server owners at ransom who woke up after wipe to all their NPC mods stopped working.  Luckily I still have ZombieHorde, a plugin that is very comparable, which was only ten dollars which was not effected by the changes in code, however Zombie Horde lacks the ability for NPCs to use guns properly or cooperate with the Plagued Murderers plugin.  

My server used to have 4 different plugins used to handle NPC zombies: Zombie Horde for random zombies on the map which could act in swarms, BotSpawn and PlaguedMurderers for Murderer enemies that could be outfitted with random clothes and weapons at monuments and NightZombies that let you spawn Murderers and Scarecrows that spawned at night and disappeared at daytime.

At the moment Zombie Horde works, BotSpawn is discontinued, BotRespawn is 40 dollars and NightZombies has a current glitch preventing the zombies from attacking the player.

Is it possible that this plugin could be expanded to help compensate for what was lost when BotSpawn broke?  I am looking for an easy way to spawn NPCs at monuments randomly that can use firearms and wear clothing from the Plagued Murderers config file, set their respawn time, death by headshot, health and other basic things.

I dropped 50 dollars on a custom map, spent a month and a half working tirelessly on setting up the best possible zombie themed server and all of this crap dropped into my lap with all the plugins breaking and some guy trying to exploit the situation by charging more for a mod than you can buy the game for in many places.  I cant believe that the community will not find a way to release something comparable for free within the next few months and maybe those that work on this plugin could give it a shot.

Thanks.

You get what you pay for, you had the pleasure of using BotSpawn for a long time with good support and now cry because it will cost you $40 but has all the functionality you want , But you spend $10 for a plugin that doesnt do much ! ,
The dev in question is not holding anyone to ransom, if you want to use the plugin and gain all the advantages you have to pay for it, If you dont want to pay the money you will gain nothing by crying here, You are quite happy for the dev on this and other plugins to do all the work and change/expand their plugins to suit your needs for no cost in money or time to you,

Why did you come here?
Distribute advertising to a plugin that is sold on another resource?
This is not an advertising platform.
I think it's better for you to leave positive or negative comments on the resource where there is a plugin you write about.
Everyone decides what, where, and when to buy.

I have been here a long time and will continue to visit this site,
I note your comments were not made to the original poster who quoted the plugin and the price and his/her negative attitude towards having to pay money for something that was free (and originaly on this site) for many years, He also quoted another paid plugin (which of course you overlooked) , If and when you become a moderator on this site (which i doubt)  i might take note of your opinion until then i will continue to state my views and will feel free to ignore yours , Do not feel that because you have (1) plugin on this site it gives you any more right to post here than i do or the right to tell me what to do.

Your right is your right.
Your opinion is your opinion.
You are quite reckless in your statements, and you and I do not measure the size of manhood.
I believe that you are a big fan of the author of those plugins that you list in the post above.
After reading your post, I got the impression that you really liked the author, and the product that you so strongly recommend to others.
I only drew attention to the fact that this is not a platform where advertising of other people's paid works is allowed, in public messages.
If you want to recommend something, write a private message.
And there will not be many meaningless words and text.
Thank you for counting which plugins I support. 

I feel I am dealing with a fool and will discontinue any further communication, and it is "plugin I support".

Pookins we all haven't been part of this Rust server hosting community for 7 or so years like you.  I only recently got into this and this took me by surprise and ruined my Zombie themed server (thanks for the concern) which was using BotSpawn.  The fact that little script files, that are almost entirely already written, like BotRespawn, can cost as much as the game itself is something entirely unique to Rust. I have never heard of any other game with mods that cost money like this.  You are an idiot if you think people should just instinctively be fine with paying 40 dollars for a couple kilobytes.  

No one was "crying", you condescending ass.  I was looking for a free alternative and now there is, so my voice my was heard.  You must feel great talking down to people who can't afford to waste 40 dollars for a 10 kb rewrite of a plugin that already exists.  No other game has the economy for these mods like Rust.  I have never seen a paid mod community around any other game, usually selling mods is straight-up illegal or its a long-term project that is released with the approval of the IP holder, such as Black Mesa, you know, like an entire product, not 10 kilobytes.  I run a server for Sven Coop, the Half-Life coop mod that has been around since 1998.  All of the content is free, maps, mods, avatars.  You must be incredibly naive to think that the paid mod community around Rust is normal.  7 Days to Die has entire game conversions, map generation tools, NPC packs, etc.  Havent seen one mod for 7 Days to Die that isn't free.  The onlly reason that there is a market for selling 40 dollar 10 kilobyte files is because idiots like you enable it by acting like its normal.

That being said I have bit the bullet and accepted that this is the state of things and have bought a map (and then exchanged it for another) and bought around 10 plugins.  The difference is I bought plugins that actually added unique features that created unique gameplay experiences and not merely a bot spawning plugin that was already most written.  I wouldn't normally have bought them but I had some money after Christmas and wanted to impress my playerbase.  I still believe that all of this stuff should be free because no one making the mods owns Rust or its assets and content.  All of the scripts are inherently plagiarism.  I do think that maps are different, however because there is a level of artistry to it and its much more technical than a cs file.

You can make the argument that their labor should reward them with comparable compensation but then why are so many people eager to create content for free for everything else?  Do you want to live in a world where every ounce of effort has a paywall?  Do you know how many mods for Fallout, Skyrim, GTA 5 exist and that they don't cost a dime?  Of course me coming into this blind I am not going to anticipate 40 dollars for a 10 kb.

if you change the prefab in the .cs you can spawn other default Rust NPCs like scientists, dwellers, etc. then use NPC Kits to kit them up.

it's not botspawn, but  let me tell you, it's well worth the 40 bucks for its complexity, and if for nothing else, for all the work its author put out for FREE before.

furthermore, it's not "a 10 kb rewrite" it's a full rewrite using the updated AI system. the Apex AI used before doesn't work anymore. I compared both plugins thoroughly and the only way to save botspawn reliably was a rewrite. I think if there's a condescending tone here, it comes from you.
