So I've been looking into this issue for quite some time now and I can't seem to get it working in any way, I've changed this:

	maps\_zombiemode_dogs::init();

Into this:

	jr_usedogs = getDvarInt("jr_usedogs");
	if (jr_usedogs == 1)
	{
		maps\_zombiemode_dogs::init();
	}

In my _zombiemode.gsc.

And for some reason, whenever I disable the hellhounds in the menu, they do get disabled BUT my zones don't work anymore, only the start_zone works. I've rechecked my zones and tried with dogs enabled and everything works just fine. I really want this menu option in Rise and I would greatly appreciate any help.

See this line in maps\_zombiemode_dogs.gsc?

level thread [[level.dog_round_track_override]]();

Add an if there. It should disable dogs properly without disabling zones.

also keep in mind mixed spawning in later rounds

Thanks dude! Works like a charm now!

Yeah I've disabled that. (Actually, I'll add an option for that...)
