Gunshots attract infected

This mod causes common infected to target survivors when they fire their weapons. Low caliber firearms such as pistols or the uzi will only draw the attention of nearby infected. Powerful weapons like the shotguns or sniper rifles can draw in commons from a considerable distance. The only exception is the silenced SMG; its namesake silencer lets you fire it without being detected by all but the closest common infected.

I have updated the mod to address several key issues, including:
- infected ignoring pipe bombs and bile bombs
- infected changing targets rapidly or running away from a survivor they're already attacking

They've been fixed by only having the script trigger for survivors who aren't in combat (IE: survivors who haven't dealt or taken any damage in the last few seconds). What this means is that a shot can be fired to draw in any nearby infected, but they'll behave as normal for any additional shots. If you don't deal or take any damage for a few seconds, you can fire another shot to draw them in. This makes the mod useful for clearing rooms full of infected, but still keeps the games combat the same as vanilla.

The volume levels of each weapon can be customised by editing the ems file "ems\gunshots_attract_infected\weapon_volumes.txt". This allows you to tailor the mod to suit your specific weapon setup. If you use other mods to give weapons silencers, you can easily reduce the volume levels to accurately reflect this.
