Is someone capable of signature scanning aboard? I've managed to compile this for Metamod 1.8 and L4D2 but the L4D signatures (= SDK Calls) dont match


EDIT:

And dont give me the "Virtual Adresses" link, i know that, we need the stuff in the gamedata file for left4dead2

Just wanted to let everyone know that a certain someone (will keep his name anonymous so people don't PM him with requests for now) has informed me he was able to update the sigs for Linux and that the extension will work (at least for getting >8 players) in L4D2. We might not see that until SM is "publically" released though. I know I haven't even seen it yet myself .

Wouldn't mind if someone did the work for Windows though . Will try and see if I can fix a few outstanding issues on this before releasing an L4D2 compatibility.

Windows is already done. See: L4DToolz
Can you ask him to modify this extension so that it reports 7/8 players to the master server while the server is not MAXPLAYERS/MAXPLAYERS.

Once you have this "detail" ironed out, I'm in a position to test Linux ASAP. The only error I get is:

"vstdlib_i486.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

SM 1.3 has L4D2 Support now^^
Pls release the updatet extension

Ah, cool... too bad there's two separate projects to do the same thing.

It isn't needed. As Lömmels said, sourcemod is now released to the public. Why not release the new linux version?

From what i could tell the linux Signatures don't need updating

Same yeah I'll be up for testing on linux srcds, but just give these nice people some time and we'll be on our way

Updated Left4Downtown L4D2 Extension (Linux only)

Compiled against Sourcemod 1.3 and Metamod 1.8.

Usage:

As per L4D1 Extension, set "l4d_maxplayers" to your desired value in server.cfg and ensure "sv_visiblemaxplayers" is set to -1.

Source Changes:

* Makefile (hl2sdk-l4d2, mmsource-central, sourcemod-1-3, vstdlib_linux.so and tier0_linux.so)
* Makefile (mkdir detours/codepatch/sdk)
* player_slots.cpp (comment out jz patch, move GameConf->GetMemSig (ConnectClientLobbyCheck) to PatchSlotCheckOnly())
* natives.cpp (zero out scoreA/B, prevent crash.)
* extension.h (enable DEBUG.)
* extension.cpp (GameFolderName = left4dead2.)
* detours/clear_team_scores.cpp (Including bool parameter.)
* detours/clear_team_scores.h (typedef including bool.)
* gamedata/left4downtown.txt (Sigs/Offsets changed.)
* scripting/l4d2_unreserve.sp (for testing lobby reservation removal.)

Working:

1) Unlocked player slots (Max: 18 - Working for Ingame & Server Browser)
2) Detours/Spawn & Campaign Natives working (Exception: L4D_GetCampaignScores)
3) Unreserve is working - Use included l4d2_unreserve.smx/sp

KNOWN ISSUES:

1) Campaign scores in versus are not being reset if a new versus campaign is chosen while in game (Appears to be Valve Bug)
2) L4D_GetCampaignScores currently does not work due to offset changes (asm is very different - probably to reflect new Scavenge Mode)
3) When unreserved, the lobby reports that user is not in a joinable game. This was apparent in L4D1.
4) MaxUsers in Group Server Lobby (No doubt the cause for no steam group joins > 8 Users) - UPDATE: FOUND (in development)

I have identified the Steam Group/Lobby Max players problem - this has been moved to the matchmaking_ds_linux binary. Unfortunately at present Sourcemod does not have the ability to read signatures beyond engine & server libraries, thus being the reason this cannot be fixed easily. (This is currently being looked into where time permits - be patient as I have little time)

Remember this is BETA, and currently only supports Left 4 Dead 2. This has been undergoing testing before the L4D2 release, however didn't seem wise to release anything until the release of SourceMod Stable. There will be an official release sooner or later.

Archive contains both source and binaries - easiest installation method is to place it under left4dead2 and extract it recursively, all files will be extracted into their relevant folders.
