About:

• Skips the intro cutscene on first chapters.
• Should work for all maps including 3rd party.
• Optionally uses Left 4 DHooks to detect the first chapter so it doesn't attempt to run on every round_start.

CVars:

Saved to l4d_skip_intro.cfg in your servers \left4dead\cfg\sourcemod\ folder.

PHP Code:

// 0=Plugin off, 1=Plugin on.
l4d_skip_intro_allow "1"

// Turn on the plugin in these game modes, separate by commas (no spaces). (Empty = all).
l4d_skip_intro_modes ""

// Turn off the plugin in these game modes, separate by commas (no spaces). (Empty = none).
l4d_skip_intro_modes_off ""

// Turn on the plugin in these game modes. 0=All, 1=Coop, 2=Survival, 4=Versus, 8=Scavenge. Add numbers together.
l4d_skip_intro_modes_tog "0"

// Skip Intro plugin version.
l4d_skip_intro_version

Works fine!

in The Passing, it seems not to work properly, I have the screen frozen in first person with my pistol in hand, but I must wait for the "time" of the cinematic to be able to move and aim properly.

I tested this map before release, have no problem.

It seems The Passing does have a problem as Tonblader said.
When you restart the first map, it happened to me when the whole team died.

[Silvers]

Ahh thought I tried on restart, I did with other maps.

[Dragokas]
