I have a server.so in my l4d2/bin folder and I had just assumed the .vdf was corrected since I generated a new one for a linux server with a link that was provided earlier in this thread

And even then if I had to change my .vdf i'm helpless with that since I don't have anything that can open/edit it

You can open it in notepad.

Well it turns out my .vdf already was set to "Plugin"
{
"file" "../left4dead2/addons/metamod/bin/server.so"
}


so i'm absolutely baffled

I guess i'm going to do a full wipe of MM/SM and try again from scratch

Sweet lordy lord -- after changing the gameinfo.txt file in the left4dead2_dlc1 directory, Sourcemod is finally working. Almost all of my plugins seem to be working fine.

For Linux server admins, here are the steps I followed in this thread to get my server working:

1)

Well, you must now add this line on left4dead2_dlc1's gameinfo.txt Thats just it for getting sourcemod working XD

That last step went over my head a bit and I was not sure how to edit the file, so I just copied the gameinfo.txt file over from the adjacent left4dead2 directory. If you do the same you'll probably be fine.

Thanks for the help guys.

Very nice!

Anyone know why my server is running as public while I have these:

sv_search_key "wasd"
sv_steamgroup "wasd"
sv_steamgroup_exclusive "1"

Valve has messed up the seachkey. If your server is run without one even for a second, the master server will mark is as public. The only way to fix it is to leave it offline until it times out to the master server, then start it back up with the searchkey in your server.cfg At least, that is what I read somewhere and it seemed to work on my server.

sv_steamgroup should be a number. Look at the Edit page of your steamgroup. You'll find the ID there.

It worked for me, just leave your server offline for about hour

I figured out what it was, I downloaded the Windows Version of metamod... look in your metamod if you see DLL's instead of .so's you have the wrong version...they should really lable which download is for linux and which one is for windows, i got the right version of MM and everything is working properly for me now, with the exception of user created maps...some work and some do not, but i'm inclined to believe that it is not an SM or MM issue but the Campaigns need to be fixed for update by the creator.
