[L4D/L4D2] Is there a way to check what game modes a server has installed?

I'd like to know if there's a function that can detect what game modes are available on a server? Something similar to how ReadMapList() works.

I'm not sure I fully understand. Game modes can be set from lobbies or from root access. Other servers could be running a versus/coop only server, (by preventing mp_gamemode overriding in a plugin or server.cfg).

In general, a game server can support all of the game modes, that's why you probably can't predict what "game modes" a server has installed.

You could however make a query on the sv_gametypes+mp_gamemode value, still that doesn't guarantee anything in my opinion.

Solution:

PHP Code:


		
			
g_cvASSGameMode = FindConVar("mp_gamemode");
g_cvASSGameType = FindConVar("sv_gametypes");

char sModeName[64];
g_cvASSGameMode.GetString(sModeName, sizeof(sModeName)); // Gets the size of the "mp_gamemode" string
if (StrEqual(sModeName, "coop", false)) // If the string equals "coop" mode
{
    // Do stuff here
}
char sGameType[2049]; // Holds the amount of characters within a string (If for whatever reason a server owner wants to filter so many game modes through "sv_gametypes")
g_cvASSGameType.GetString(sGameType, sizeof(sGameType)); // Gets the size of the "sv_gametypes" string
char sTypes[64][32]; // First index = How many game modes buffer can hold, Second index = How many characters allowed for each game mode
ExplodeString(sGameType, ",", sTypes, sizeof(sTypes), sizeof(sTypes[])); // Separate game modes and stores them inside individual arrays
for (int iMode = 0; iMode < sizeof(sTypes); iMode++)
{
    if (StrContains(sGameType, sTypes[iMode], false) != -1 && sTypes[iMode][0] != '\0') // If one of the arrays contains a game mode and it's not an empty array
    {
        // Do stuff here
    }
}
