All I'm trying to do is setup a L4D2 server so 5 of us can play in campaigns.

I've installed a L4D2 server on a spare PC and that is working find.

Now, to get 5 (or more) people I've been told to:-

Follow this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaGPLFh0SHQ
and these two plug ins:4dtoolz plugin,download from here:http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=93600
and http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=114362

Now, the video seems to be on someones actual PC, instead of setting up a dedicated server? Is it any different? Anyway, I followed all the instructions, and I've done all of that on my dedicated server PC, but I can't see any difference?

Is there any way I tell what isn't working? ie: What I've not done right?

If I connect to the server to play L4D2 from my games PC, can I type something in the console to get information from the dedicated server for example? I've typed "sm" and "sm_admin" and they're not recoginised commands?! Does than mean sourcemod isn't running?

Did you properly installed the Sourcemod and Metamod (I believe U need 1.8 ) installed under the ADDONS folder?

*/Left4dead2/Left4dead2/addons/

Also, make sure the sourcemod (The CFG one) gets put under
*Left4dead2/Left4dead2/cfg/

Also, the maker of that video of yours sounds like he doesn't know what he is doing.


I recently installed sourcemod, so I'm not entirely comfortable with giving advice but I'll tell you what I did.

Go here. Click Now click one of the two links listed below the words:
Quote:
Full Packages (SourceMod requires Metamod:Source 1.8 or higher)
If the server is a WINDOWS server, take the ZIP. If its a LINUX server, take the TAR.GZ.

It should be easy strolling after that.

Maybe you just needed to restart it after all
