I don't have a "missions" folder to put the .txt file into

i'm trying this now, the plugin doesn't seem to be changing gamemodes properly.

i switched form a versus game to scavenge to dead center, it spawned the survivors below the floor, and when we tried a different map, i just loaded up as campaign, i tried again, and it switched to versus. scavenge doesn't seem to be working at all

@geefer
Please read the OP, it tells you exactly what to do with the files

This plugin requires mission text files for each campaign you want to add. All you have to do is add the campaign specific mission file to the missions directory on your server. If the missions directory does not exist or cannot be opened, the plugin will stop. L4D includes all of the default mission files, however L4D2 does not so I have included this in the package. They were simply extracted from the maps and were not modified in any way so they are perfectly safe to use.

@Newf
Can you verify that it is the correct gamemode by sm_cvar mp_gamemode in the console?

i'll try it when i get a chance, don't wanna kick everyone off the server right now. but what happened was that i switched froma versus game to scavenge on dead center, the timer didn't show up, i spawned way up top as infected, but the survivors spawned down beneath the floor. so i tried switching to the dark carnival scavenge map, it loaded us up at the very beginning, and again, no timer.

i'm not sure if the issue is that my server is set up to start as versus, since we don't use lobbies, only direct connect.

i reset my server and set up a scavenge lobby and connected that way, the 8v8 scavenge worked fine, but when we switched back to versus, the game mode stayed as scavenge for some reason.

Changing gamemode mid-map won't work, you have to change gamemode then reset the map or change to another one.

which is what i did the first time. i tried changing it to scavenge, then when it didn't work right away, i tried another scavenge map, and it didn't work.

i think it may be because i have my server.cfg forcing it to versus whenever i reset the server, so if i have something in my server.cfg forcing the game to versus...that would cause a conflict. so if that server.cfg is executing with each map change, then it's causing problems.

Q: Will this plugin allow me to change gamemodes without editing any .cfg files? A: As of v1.0.1, yes it will. All you have to do is make sure you have set the gamemode you want to play as an allowed type on the server using sv_gametypes. Ex. sv_gametypes "coop,versus,survival" would allow you to play Coop, Versus, and Survival maps.

Make sure you have that set correctly or it will not change the gamemode.
