L4DToolZ Metamod plugin (l4d1 & l4d2)
 

this plugin add this cvar to l4d and l4d2
sv_maxplayers - max human players that can join your server. -1 to disable and use standart check (range 0 to 32)
sv_removehumanlimit - remove kick for players when they are more than 8 for vs and 4 for coop(0 to disable, 1 to enable)
sv_force_unreserved - if you set it to 1 before connection from lobby your server will stay unreserved and allow players to connect using connect command, this command sets sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 0, so you need to create lobby using ms_force_dedicated_server and then connect to server, your friends may see wrong max players in friend lobby, so give them ip.

Nice one! it is working pretty good :)

Thanks!

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

Good Job !

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

good job

but i change

sm_cvar z_minion_limit 20

why i only can spawn 5 boss?

thanks

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

and can do this?

sv_maxplayers max human players that can join your server
sv_maxslots max max srcds.exe slots

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

sm_cvar z_versus_smoker_limit
sm_cvar z_versus_boomer_limit
sm_cvar z_hunter_limit
sm_cvar z_gas_limit 2
sm_cvar z_max_player_zombies
sm_cvar survivor_limit
play with this cvars, some of then need a plugin to be able to chage the limit

sv_maxslots? max slots is set to 32 in my plugin - you need more?

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

i'd mean is use two parameters

add sv_maxslots can change scrds.exe maxslots and another sv_maxplayers change game max player

if i set

sv_maxslots 32
sv_maxplayers 20

then server only can join 20 players and 12 slots let Monster bot join.


sorry my bad english. and thanks agaian.

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

my plugind don't have sv_maxslots, l4d also don't have sv_maxslots.
but if you set only sv_maxplayers 20 it will let 20 ppl to join and will have 12 slots for bots

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

thanks again

if i set

sm_cvar z_versus_smoker_limit 10
sm_cvar z_versus_boomer_limit 10
sm_cvar z_hunter_limit 2
sm_cvar z_gas_limit 2
sm_cvar z_max_player_zombies 20
sm_cvar survivor_limit 8
sm_cvar z_minion_limit 20

and i use console type
z_spawn tank
z_spawn hunter
z_spawn hunter
z_spawn smoker
z_spawn smoker


and 5 zombies can spawnd,but i type z_spawn tank again this time will not spawn zombies. how can i spawn more zombies.

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

can u add a cvar which can control bot enabling? for example i dont want have 16 survivor bots when there are only 2 real players

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

Windows only and no source ... this sucks.

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

yeah, but only plugin allow to make 32 slot l4d server

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

this is the best thing i ever seen..
i working on it:)
Nice JOB!

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

My question is, can you start a public game with it ?

Do public join and fill the slot after you started the game ?

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

up-to 8 players from lobby and if you give ip to your friends more will join, you can also post your server on some forums or gametracker

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

Hum, what i mean is : after you start the game, do "random public" join in via the matchmaking system or they have to connect through IP.

Well in my mind we wanted to do some random games against pubby 4 vs 5,6,7. That could be interesting

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

they will join and they will be up-to 8 players, but for how long i never try.
matchmaking track only ppl join via matchmaking - thats why limit for it is different from sever site, thats why valve have problems with server is full msg :wink:

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

If there are 4 people in the game (coop,survival) nobody else can join unless they use IP, and if they join through IP, they are stuck as spectator? Can I get some help?

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

You need another Plugin that makes use of the additional slots unlocked by this.

Super Versus for more player slots, and Infected Bots 1.7.1 for both human and infected play in coop and survival.

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

hi,

i'm new i've been trying to figure out how to make an extended player server for ages. I've downloaded the zip file and extracted it to my C:/program files/steam/steamapps/common/left 4 dead/left4dead/add-ons folder is this the right folder? also can you make an extended player server using the left 4 dead dedicated server via my tools on steam?

also are you able to make a local lan server with extended players? im new to this website, please help

Thanks, :)

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

hint: learn how to install metamod

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

use the addons (not add-ons) folder in your l4d game folder in order to use the l4d dedicated tool. Install metamod and sourcemod first (SUCCESSFULLY), and then come back :)

But yeah, I got this working with superversus, but some problems. First, extra players in co-op can only join by IP or server browser. Also, this needs some kind of possible bot control so you dont have 4 extra bots running around. Lastly, when a campaign is over and credits are over, everyone is kicked to main menu!

Help is appreciated :)

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

use this "L4D Force Mission Changer" (1.3.2) by Dionys

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

Oh, thankyou :)
FANTASTIC plugin by the way! I am having all sorts of fun with this and it is so easy to use :)

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

I downloaded metamod source a zip file is this the correct file, i'm not so sure where to get sourcemod though in the zip file there was a folder called addons is this the file I need to extract to my left4dead folder?

I've extracted the metamod file into common/left 4 dead/left4dead so now in that file I have a folder called addons. I followed these instructions http://wiki.alliedmods.net/index.php...Metamod:Source I also generated the .vdf file and placed it in the new addons folder. According to the above source i have finished installing metamod source. I found this site is it of any help? http://wiki.alliedmods.net/Installing_SourceMod

Thanks, i really want to make my own 16 player server:)

P.S: when it refers to creating my server can I just use the left 4 dead dedicated server on steam?

Edit: Ok It turns out ive successfully installed sourcemods and metamod, typing meta list in my dedicated server console allowed me to see the list of plugins i had running and sourcemods was one of them. Also ingame using the command sm_admin gave me administration tools. So what now?

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

k i'm sorry but I need some help. I've hosted a dedicated server and entered the command sv_maxplayers 12 in the console, on i'm able to join the server and it says it has 12 player slots but when some one over 4 people try to join (this is coop by the way) it says theres a 4 player human limit and does not let them in. Have I done something wrong?

Please Help, it would be really appreciated.

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

set sv_removehumanlimit to 1

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

hmm, no linux version?

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

yeah

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

Make sure you also get super versus and versus bots :)

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

Works perfectly. But i use this extension instead of super versus http://forums.alliedmods.net/showpos...2&postcount=26. Just edit source file for 16 ppl for both zombies and survivors and compile. And then change survivor_limit and z_max_player_zombies, then adjust this plugin's variables and you will get any amount ppl you want (32 max though, if i understood correctly).

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

I think its 20 people max, with 12 extra slots for bots (32 total)

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

32 is max players bots + ppl :) so if you set it to 32 - 32 ppl will join, but it will have no place for bots

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

Do i need to do anything specific besides sv_unlock_sb_add 1?

I tried sb_add both from console and as sourcemod admin, didn't work.

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

hm try to set sm_cvar survivor_limit :) you may need to set ConVarBound_Upper 1st

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

Maybe i should've mentioned: I'm not trying to spawn additional Survivors (got maxplayers plugin for that), but to RESPAWN dead ones. Can i even do that?

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

I always thought that when the bot dies, it stays in the game. Is this not true? If it is, then sb_add is not what you are looking for, and you will need a completely new plugin :/

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

bot stay in the game dead or not

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

linux pls

Re: L4DToolZ Metamod plugin
 

Hi ivailosp. I am having some difficulty using your plugin.

If I enter the following command into the console:sm_cvar survivor_limit 12, it returns the following message:

[SM] Changed cvar "survivor_limit" to "12".
Server cvar 'survivor_limit' changed to 4

No matter what I do it continues to be constrained to "4"

I have already added these to my server.cfg file as well.

sv_maxplayers 32
sv_removehumanlimit
sv_unlockgamemode
sv_unlock_sb_add
sv_force_unreserved
sm_cvar survivor_limit 16

Curiously enough though if I type meta list in the console i get this returned:

meta list
Listing 3 plugins:
[01] SourceMod (1.2.2-dev) by AlliedModders LLC
[143] <NOFILE>
[144] <NOFILE>

Not sure what exactly went wrong...

"rcon sb_add" does respawn the survivors but only if I fully kick a bot off my server leaving 3 or less survivors in the game. However it stops letting me spawn the survivors once I hit 3 bots.

Thanks in advance for any ideas you guys may have.

(Edit: it appears that my server isn't able to execute my server.cfg file so I'm assuming I don't have it located in the right place.)

Here's what my ds console says when I connect to the server:
