Try out
If you would like to try the latest version of this mod join Abaddown's server which focuses only on this gamemode and is used for testing new features.
The ip is 206.217.129.146:27015, for those of you who dont know type "connect 206.217.129.146:27015" in your l4d2 console to join it but remember its not my server so play nice ;).
Thanks to him for hosting.

How to use
This is very simple, just copy the L4D2 Survivors Deathmatch.smx onto your server plugins folder, and then also copy the l4d2Teamdm.txt onto your gamedata folder, this is a must or no respawns etc. will work.

Notes
I have only spent about 2 weeks on this because most of the code was straightforward or already in my files.
As obvious as this is the l4d2 maps aren't as fun as for example a CS map would be, so if any of you guys have ported maps and at least a few people are interested in that specific map, i will add the spawns etc and make it work for this mode.
the maps currently available are All but the passing(will add soon), i will add the spawns on the others soon.
You need the gamedata to make this work(see below)
I am aware that panxiaohai created a counter-strike plugin which takes a similar approach to what ive done.I created this because i had a ton of ideas and no other plugin was able to meet my requirements.
This is not to be taken seriously as there will always be balance issues and this was made just for fun.

BONUS gamemodes:
The bonus gamemodes is a new part of the plugin which if active(through cvars) replaces 2nd rounds with different gametypes, the only TWO currently available to play are Infection and oddgnome.

INFECTION:One player gets selected to become the alpha boomer and he then tries to vomit on people when someone gets vomited on they will become a boomer and this carries on untill everyone has become infected.
Last player to get vomited on usually wins(unless a specific boomer vomits on most of the survivors and gets most points).

ODDGNOME:in this specific gamemode gnome chompsky is spawned and players need to carry him to gain points in order to win, first player to 50(or modified score cvar) wins.
The intention of this gamemode is to make all players chase the gnome and focus on the carrier at all times as well as causing havoc :) , idea was taken from Halo's Oddball.

I AM CURRENTLY looking for new ideas for these modes so if you have any fun ones i would appreciate your help.

Recommendations
if your able to have more than 8 players on your server then i recommend that you do as there is no player limit for this, the more the better :mrgreen: imo.
i recommend that you use Superversus or a similar spec plugin as the game gets forced into versus.
you can find superversus here DDr's Superversus
