Known Bugs:

Switching to coop from versus will put 4 players in spectator (unless you have 4+ coop).
Switching to versus with l4d_votemode_restart "2" causes only 1 round to play before changing chapter. Set the cvar to "1".

Custom Menu and Config:

The menu is generated from a key value config
The config must be saved to l4d_votemode.cfg in your servers \left4dead\addons\sourcemod\data\ folder.
Each section ("Coop" in this example) is displayed as an option. Each key ("Bleed Out") is listed and will change the game mode to it's value ("mutation3").

Code:

"gamemodes"

{

        "Coop"

        {

                "Realism"                  "realism"

                "Bleed Out"                "mutation3"
