[L4D2] Proper Changelevel [Left 4 Fix] [17/11/2019]

Hi, This plugin fixes level changing from degrading server performance with a native to use in your map changing plugins

This plugin does near nothing on it's own it's for dev's to include in their mission managers.

However there is a command
"sm_changelevel" This requires Admin_Root or from server console function same as sm_map.

Tech stuff

Spoiler

Native

PHP Code:


		
			


/**

*    @param    sMapName                Map String without .bsp

*    @param    bShouldResetScores        Reset all scores in all gamemodes

*    @noreturn

*/

native void L4D2_ChangeLevel(const char[] sMapName, bool bShouldResetScores=true);

[L4D2] Improved Automatic Campaign Switcher (ACS)

Thanks:
SirPlease for testing.
Silvers throwing ideas.
A1m` testing and reporting issue.

Maybe this method will get merged into sourcemod for l4d2 only?

Installation:

1.Download the .zip file.
2.Merge with \addons\ folder.
3.Restart the server.

Re: [L4D2] Proper Changelevel

Hello, using this method solves the problem of CPU increase over time? Or is it focused on something else?

Sorry if the question seems to be very obvious but I was testing it and I can't understand :(

One issue i have with plugin that it doesnt reset the survivors when it changes map like normal changelevel does. Like, if i was playing Passing Francis, then load into new map, im still Francis instead of the being one of the l4d2 survivors...

Re: [L4D2] Proper Changelevel [Left 4 Fix] [1/11/2019]

That's normal, game saves and restores your character when using game's voting functions.

Since no one really uses voting stuff on modded servers was never noticed.
If you vote for start new campaign will have same effect as using my plugin since both voting function have similar code paths, other than campaign accepts the "name" from the mission file and my plugin accepts bsp names.
