Having a highly modded server can be a bit annoying. A lot of people will complain about is not vanilla and will leave (good bye). But the others that remain in the server may find it very difficult/easy. I can adjust difficulty if I'm in the server but if I'm not some players will get stuck and leave or find it easy and leave. This plugin allows me to set a very high difficulty on server and decrease it progressively if survivors fail the rounds.
Description:
This plugin only works in coop mode and coop based mutations.
When a new game or a new map starts, the plugin will change the server ConVar settings.
If survivors fail to complete the round the settings can be changed.
Proceeding to the next map will reset the settings.
Each map can have its own dedicated configs per round.
Round settings can be displayed to players via menu.
If plugin is disabled or unloaded a config file will be loaded to reset server ConVars.
Recomendations:
You should have all the ConVars that the plugin will change stored in a .cfg file (by default is set to server.cfg, in that file you should have all the values that the plugin will be modifying to set them to a default value if the plugin is disabled (if the gamemode is not coop plugin will disable itself).
Installation:
Put l4d_roundconfigs.smx in sourcemod/plugins folder.
Put l4d_round_configs.cfg in sourcemod/data folder.
