!!!Important note for server admins running this map!!!


After hours of playtesting, it was clearly apparent right away 
that the default survivor ratio in Zombie Fortress is MUCH too 
low. In zf_dustbowl only 2 or 3 zombies are needed at the start of a round.
Even on 32 player servers. That may seem too low at first but 
all it takes is one or two kills of the survivor team, and the balance 
quickly shifts to the zombies. If you run this map with the default %60 
survivor ratio the map will be HEAVILY unbalanced in favor of the 
Zombies and no fun to play. 

An %80 to %90 survivor ratio works the best for this map but not for others. 
So I'm going to explain how to get a custom survivor ratio to auto exec everytime
you run zf_dustbowl. Just using a map.cfg won't work...

1. On your server, open "plugin_zf.cfg" located in tf\cfg\sourcemod
2. Block out the default sm_zf_ratio cvar by adding two // in front of it.
3. Save plugin_zf.cfg
4. Open your server.cfg in tf\cfg and add the line sm_zf_ratio 0.60 (or whatever you want the default survivor ratio to be for all other ZF maps. 0.60 = %60 survivors)
5. Save server.cfg
6. Place the supplied zf_dustbowl.cfg into tf/cfg folder on your server.
7. Braaaaains!

The reason we have to take these steps is because plugin_zf.cfg will 
override any custom ratio settings in the server.cfg or a map.cfg.
