Specially designed to "walkaround/bypass" L4D custom maps "missing stringtable" crash*, happened when somebody join the map in the middle-game.
* Also known in crash logs as:

Quote:

Host_Error: Overflow error writing string table baseline Scenes
You can use this plugin for developer purposes as well by locking the server via admin commands (slots aren't unlocked automatically in such case on map change).

Map list is stored here (add new map names to lock the slots on them):

data/maplocker_list.txt

Specific:

Only transitioned players are allowed to start playing that specific maps. Other players can no longer join the server until the map finishes.
Slots are hooked in a way preventing other plugins to change the value until map finishes.
You can find more information about the crash in the topic: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Sou...es/issues/3451 | https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=305123
Bugged map names could be found in crash logs. See example in above topics.
At the moment list contains 23 L4D1 maps.
Please, report map names with a such bug to populate the list.
