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".

- The config must be saved to l4d_votemode.cfg in your servers \left4dead\addons\sourcemod\data\ folder.
