Same here. I always end up with 4 player survivors and 4 AI survivors. I've tried this and l4dtoolz (MM plugin) and neither seem to make more than 8 slots usable.

Ahhhhh, I can't stand AT&T asm please no more .

Actually if you look at the source I believe I was already overriding this function for the server browsers.. unfortunately after a recent DLC it broke on Windows but not on Linux.

I used to override this function on Windows anyway just for fun and it turns out it was screwing up switching to scavenge.. you know how you can be on a versus map and do mp_gamemode scavenge and it would be sort of in versus, sort of in scavenge? That's exactly what was happening.

So yeah, weird platform-specific issues...

That being said I will be using a different function to change the # of players reported to server browser that works just great on Windows, no problems I can see yet.

I'm a bit confused on the whole lobby reservation thing so if someone could help clarify that would be great. What I understand is when a server is started it is unreserved and then when a player joins it becomes reserved with a special "key". Is this what prevents more than 4 for coop and 8 for versus to join a game? What I am getting to is does the reservation need to be removed in order to have more than said number of players?

Edit:
A few more things came to mind. I can't remember if there ever was a fix for this, but setting l4d_maxplayers to anything greater than 4 causes the game to run in Versus. Downtown, you had mentioned the Windows version was going ok. I would be able to test it on both L4D/2 if you would like.

I'm pleased to say that for our testing purposes we now have a release candidate of the L4D2 version for both the Linux and Windows versions, which means release should be imminent after a few more rounds of live testing.

Is it really that hard to look a few posts up? They will post here when it is ready or if they have any updates.

Ok, little update.
L4DToolZ made it possible with their version for l4d2 linux. sv_maxplayers works like a charm so if anyone comes across something like that..

Did you get scoring swapping to work? Because although i (hopefully) used the right function offset, it never has effect ingame

But a fully functional windows version would be oh-so-great

Unfortunately due to my timeframe issues I had to cut all the scoring natives. I didn't think anyone was using them except my own l4dscores plugin (which I will not be porting to L4D2, though I may split it the team management into its own plugin).

If you are actually interested in using the scoring and are willing to test Windows correctness I would be more than happy to try throwing a few signatures at it.

Since you are not porting your Scores plugin, can you do one "Unscramble"plugin for l4d2?
