.GSC Scripts for Zombies Only

I'm having a problem with GSC scripts. I have created and been simply running scripts through the Plutonium\storage\t5\scripts folder. The scripts work fine and everything, it is just the problem is I am trying to figure out how I can get certain scripts to only load for zombies. I know that for T6, you create a sub-folder called "zm" and put them in there. However, when I do that same process for T5, the scripts are never executed. The main reason why this is a problem is because when the game loads the front end (main menu), by my understanding, when the script attempts to compile, it can't read a function such as "give_perk" from "maps/_zombiemode_perks" because the front end fast file does not have that script, resulting in a crash. I have tried putting the scripts into "sp/zom", but with no success. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Here is one of the scripts that I have created, which puts my issue onto display. It simply gives a player juggernog for free when they spawn. The script works fine if you put it into the scripts folder AFTER loading the game, and then boot into a zombies map. But upon going to the main menu, the game will crash, because it can't find the script "maps/_zombiemode_perks":

#include common_scripts\utility;
#include maps\_utility;

init()
{
	if (GetDvarInt("zombiemode") == 0 || !IsSubStr(level.script, "zombie_") || isdefined(level.zombietron_mode))
	{
		return;
	}

	flag_init("initial_blackscreen_passed");

	level thread on_player_connect();
	level thread on_fade_in_complete();
}

on_player_connect()
{
	for (;;)
	{
		level waittill("connecting", player);
		player thread on_player_spawned();
	}
}

on_player_spawned()
{
	self endon("disconnect");
	level endon("end_game");

	for (;;)
	{
		self waittill("spawned_player");
		self thread give_free_juggernog();
	}
}

give_free_juggernog()
{
	self notify("end_give_free_juggernog");
	self endon("end_give_free_juggernog");
	self endon("death");
	self endon("disconnect");
	self endon("player_downed");
	level endon("end_game");

	flag_wait("initial_blackscreen_passed");

	if (is_juggernog_active() && !self HasPerk("specialty_armorvest"))
	{
		self maps\_zombiemode_perks::give_perk("specialty_armorvest", false);
	}
}

on_fade_in_complete()
{
	level endon("end_game");

	level waittill("fade_in_complete");

	flag_set("initial_blackscreen_passed");
}

is_juggernog_active()
{
	vending_triggers = GetEntArray("zombie_vending", "targetname");

	for (i = 0; i < vending_triggers.size; i++)
	{
		perk = vending_triggers[i].script_noteworthy;

		if (perk == "specialty_armorvest")
		{
			return true;
		}
	}

	return false;
}

there should be a scripts/sp/zom folder, and you can put your zombie only scripts in there

@FragsAreUs As I said in my post, I have already tried that, and the scripts are never executed unfortunately. The only one that gets executed is the one in there, called "zm_spawn_fix.gsc", which I believe Plutonium adds automatically.

For me sp/zom folder scripts only load on server. For now best option for me has been file replace with maps folder.

@Gremulock change your init to main and they should load
