[L4D2] sv_cheats 1/0 RESETS SERVER CVARS
 

Hey guys, I have an issue that I can't jump over in L4D2.

I am trying to prevent other people from using cheat commands aside from me.

I can achieve this by using a plugin called Admin Cheats. This largely solves my problem but there is a hiccup: the command "respawn" and "respawn_all" do not work with "sv_cheats 0" even with Admin Cheats on.

Thus, I instead wanted to enable cheats, use cheats, and then disable them instantly (example: sv_cheats 1;respawn_all;sv_cheats 0). This would work fine with a single exception: "sv_cheats 0" resets my server cvars.

Now I added a cfg to automatically load all default server cvars for me after setting sv_cheats to 0, but that would mean running around 50+ cvars every time I use a cheat, because then it would look something like this: sv_cheats 1;respawn_all;sv_cheats 0;exec DefaultCvars(.cfg).

Since I have cvars that I change based on the game we play, this would be EXTREMELY TEDIOUS to reapply after each cheat.

I looked for solutions to only enable sv_cheats to me (the host), but I could find nothing.

Can anyone help with this?

Does someone know how to achieve either of these:

1. Prevent the game from resetting server cvars after sv_cheats is restored to 0.
2. Enable sv_cheats ONLY FOR ME so that other players cannot abuse cheats.

Thanks in advance.

why don't you install some plugins, you have plenty of plugins that can do the job you want.

if you want to make a server that can save the cvar settings, just create server.cfg file inside your \Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\cfg Folder

then just put the cvars you want make sure it starts with sm_cvar, for example sm_cvar sv_cheats 1

to make sv_cheats 1 only works for u, I dont think its possible without some plugins
