This was caused was l4d2_doorlock.smx preventing SI from spawning on the 2nd chapter of The Parish (at least from testing this was consistent to test). Removing the plugin mid-round allowed SI to return to spawning. The plugin was recompiled from using left4downtown to use left4dhooks, this is why it appeared that left4dhooks was at fault. I can only guess that removing left4dhooks made l4d2_doorlock.smx fail silently (still showed as active in plugins list with no error) even though it was using a forward dependent on left4dhooks. Not sure why it would fail silently, would need to test more.

I have a small update to left4dhooks fixing the last command that was added (index error showing wrong forward) but I am unable to upload to the forum, so that will have to wait.

Edit: fixed

1.12 (09-Apr-2020)
    - Added commands "sm_l4dd_detours" and "sm_l4dd_reload" as wrappers to "sm_l4dhooks_detours" and "sm_l4dhooks_reload".
    - Fixed command "sm_l4dhooks_detours" displaying the wrong forward, now also displays the plugin name using that forward.

You have some plugin that uses "OnFindScavengeItem" and is setting the wrong value. Use sm_l4dd_detours command to find out which and contact that plugin author, I'm not responsible for their bad coding. Unlikely a problem with Left4DHooks as I tested returning 0 and valid entities. If you find out which plugin I'll take a look.

It is correct, I just removed the plugins that use "OnFindScavengeItem" and it is working correctly.

[L4D2] Bots Weapon Preference Manipulation.smx
[L4D2] Defib using bots.smx
heavy_gunner_bots-l4d2.smx

OFFTOPIC: I don't specifically understand how "OnFindScavengeItem" can cause these problems, the plugin that bots revive was very useful.

Left4Downtown probably had extra checks to prevent errors, but I'm not adding extra checks, the plugins using any functions from L4DD should be validating the entities themselves.

Hi Silvers

functions here from this plugin L4DToolZ add support here left4dhooks.

Not possible.

CosmicD, and of course, people are always lazy.

and ofcourse it won't load in sourcemod 1.9 because "string table"

Request: Mark all the natives as optional so that other plugins can make the plugin optional without having to mark natives optional themselves. Basically, rather than having to make other plugins mark the natives as optional themselves, have the include file mark them as optional so that it is universal rather than individualized.

I tried making Left 4 DHooks optional for Mutant Tanks but it still resulted in the plugin(s) not being loaded due to L4DH natives not being found.

L 05/01/2020 - 10:00:22: [SM] Unable to load plugin "mutant_tanks\mt_restart.smx": Native "L4D_IsInFirstCheckpoint" was not found
L 05/01/2020 - 10:00:22: [SM] Unable to load plugin "mutant_tanks\mutant_tanks.smx": Native "L4D_MaterializeFromGhost" was not found

When marking them optional in my local copy of the L4DH include and recompiling, the errors no longer show up.
