[L4D2] Level change causing spawning issues
 
I'm having an issue regarding level change in Left 4 Dead 2, the spawns seem to break or are messed up completely, On map 2 of dead center everyone spawns outside of the safe room in the air dying from fall damage but on every other map everyone is spawning out of bounds in the void, the only fix for this that I have figured out so far is by having everyone die, the map reloads but then another issue pops up, the safe rooms are completely empty having no ammo piles, kits or weapons.

I'm rather confused on why this has happened and I've searched for answers online but have found none, does anyone know of anyway to solve this issue?

Re: [L4D2] Level change causing spawning issues
 
It sounds as though you have some plugins (or extensions) installed that are causing these issues. Even with my modded dedicated server, I haven't encountered any similar issues, both before and after the Last Stand update.

Would you mind posting the outputs for the following commands? Doing so will allow people to better help you narrow down the cause for these issues.

meta version
sm version
sm exts list
sm plugins list

Here are the outputs.

I probably have plugins conflicting or something but I'm unsure.

Re: [L4D2] Level change causing spawning issues
 
I had a similar issue in the past, I don't remember if it was a plugin, gamedata or extension installed.

If you can reproduce always this bug the best you can do is by trial and error.

Try removing half of the plugins and test if it happens again, than repeat the process until you find it.
You can also try to remove the extensions if no plugin is the cause of this behavior.

Re: [L4D2] Level change causing spawning issues
 
I have encountered this issue several times before, I found that it was because there are too many weapons, melees, upgrade packs, mini Guns, footlockers and items in saferoom zone, they are all spawned by the following plugins.

PHP Code:

"[L4D & L4D2] Weapon Crate" (1.7by SilverShot
"[L4D & L4D2] Weapon Spawn" (1.6by SilverShot
"[L4D2] Laser Box Spawner" (1.4by SilverShot
"[L4D2] Melee Weapon Spawner" (1.5by SilverShot
"[L4D2] Upgrade Pack Spawner" (1.4by SilverShot
"[L4D2] Ammo Pile Spawner" (1.7by SilverShot
"[L4D & L4D2] Mini Gun Flamethrowers" (1.5by SilverShot
"[L4D2] Flare Gun" (2.13by SilverShot
"[L4D2] Footlocker" (1.16by SilverShot 

When this bug happens, all survivor bots, ammo piles, kits or weapons in saferoom zone are teleported to the center of the map (position: 0 0 0)....
the safe room are completely empty.

One of my solution is to remove all, don't spawn any in ending safe room zone.
Or return all survivors back to saferoom.

Edit: I notice that you have duplicate plugins
PHP Code:

"[L4D2] Weapon/Zombie Spawner" (1.0aby Zuko McFlurry
"[L4D2] Weapon/Zombie Spawner" (1.0aby Zuko McFlurry

"[L4D & L4D2] Incapped Shove" (1.9by SilverShot
"[L4D & L4D2] Incapped Shove" (1.9by SilverShot 

Better check and delete.

Really? I'll see about removing the item spawning plugins, only got them due to the saferooms being empty so I just saved ammo piles and weapons to compensate for it.

I removed all the weapon spawning plugins, sadly the issue seems to persist, I'll keep trying something to figure this out, thanks for your help tho.

Re: [L4D2] Level change causing spawning issues
 
hi,
I just want to red dot this, don't mind me.
Similar problem but mine have no plugins at all except the sm core.

Re: [L4D2] Level change causing spawning issues
 
I've solved my issue, it seems Death Check was causing this problem, I'm unsure why but maybe something in the code of it was spawning stuff all wrong?

Thanks to everyone for doing their best to help.

Death Check doesn't do anything related to entities with exception of this solution to execute "scenario_end" command in the latest v.1.5.6. you are using.
I bet it could cause strange results. Not totally sure. Previously I experimented with similar random stuff and observed strange things.

Try this earlier version of Death Check (looks like, somewhere already modified by me).
I never had any problems with this one.
