Hi, I have L4DToolz installed on my server and it seems like its working cuz i got maxplayers set to 16 and it shows 16 in HLSW, however i cant join the server on versus mode when there is 8 players on it, i do have plugin to allow spectators. When i try join via connect IP its just says that the server is full. Can anyone tell me what im missing?

You need superversus to use the > 8 slots, which were unlocked by toolz.

Hi, thanks for reply. So i need superversus just to allow spectators? I dont want 8vs8 or anything like that. I just want to to able to join to spectate etc.

@midnight9
May be that the section (5.2 Spectators slots in l4d2 dedicated server) that i wrote in this tutorial https://forums.alliedmods.net/showth...16#post2020516 is what you need if i have understood well. For me it works.

I managed to install this and got 8 player slots available.

Currently i can see 4human survivors and 4bot surviors.

However when another human attempts to join they cannot join as it is full.

What could be the issue? Server slots does show 8.

Do you have any of the slot manager plugins like bebop, multislots, left 4 downtown, left8dead, left12dead to name a few

If you have L4dToolz correctly installed and running you can have additional players join as spectators or, in combination with a player slot plugin like Super Versus, you can have additional player slots.

Working L4D2 version from first page of thread (I've only used the linux version): 1.0.0.9h for L4D2

However, in order to use any slots above the default number you must keep the server unreserved. For L4dtoolz the setting in your server.cfg is:

sv_force_unreserved 1 // removes the lobby reservation on the server

Without this command you cannot have extra players join the server. Again, the only settings you need in your server.cfg for L4dToolz to open additional slots are:

// MetaMod L4DToolz plugin to open player slots
sv_maxplayers x // where x is the total number of slots you need (default slots + extra slots)
sv_force_unreserved 1

The command sv_visiblemaxplayers is optional and only affects the number of visible slots reported by the server, but has no affect on useable slots actually available on the server.

Have fun,

OK, got this working again on my co-op L4D1 Linux server again (fresh install of version : 1.0.2.8 5134)

I'm updating my post with answers to my questions in case any one else had the same questions as me ...

Q. What is the recommended MetaMod:Source, SourceMod, and L4DToolz versions I should be using please?
A. I'm using (as of April 3, 2014)
* MetaMod:Source version 1.11, File: mmsource-1.11.0-hg909-linux.tgz, Link: http://www.sourcemm.net/snapshots
* SourceMod: 1.5.3, File: sourcemod-1.5.3-linux.tar.gz, Link: http://www.sourcemod.net/downloads.php
* L4DToolz 1.0.0.9f, File: l4dtoolz(L4D1)-1.0.0.9f.zip, Link: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showth...t=93600&page=1

Q. Do we need to append ".so" to the filename in l4dtoolz.vdf?
A. No.

Q. Do we still need updated signatures for L4D1 Linux?
A. No, addons/l4dtoolz/gamedata/ is not needed anymore to load the plugin.
HOWEVER, you may need signatures and additional plugins to move a player from spectator (idle) to the survivor team.

Q. What are your .vdf files for metamod, l4dtoolz, and sourcemod?
A. Double check ALL your file paths in your .vdf files. I used relative pathnames in all my .vdf files.

File: addons/metamod.vdf

"Plugin"
{
	"file"	"../left4dead/addons/metamod/bin/server"
}

File: addons/metamod/l4dtoolz.vdf

"Metamod Plugin"
{
	"alias"		"l4dtoolz"
	"file"		"../left4dead/addons/l4dtoolz/l4dtoolz_mm"
}

File: addons/metamod/sourcemod.vdf

"Metamod Plugin"
{
	"alias"		"sourcemod"
	"file"		"../left4dead/addons/sourcemod/bin/sourcemod_mm"
}

Q. How do I tell if the plugin loaded?
A. From the console while connected to your server

   meta list

You should see something like this

Listing 4 plugins:
  [01] L4DToolZ (1.0.0.9f) by Ivailosp
  [02] SourceMod (1.5.3) by AlliedModders LLC
  [03] SDK Tools (1.5.3) by AlliedModders LLC
  [04] SDK Hooks (1.5.3) by AlliedModders LLC

Q. What are the commands I need in cfg/server.cfg?
A. I'm using

// L4DToolz
  sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 0
  sv_maxplayers               16
  sv_force_unreserved         1
  sv_removehumanlimit         1

Q. Is "sv_removehumanlimit" still needed?
A. I don't believe so, but this needs to be verified.

THANK-YOU this plugin ivailosp and the support all through the years!

[Neevar]

can someone help me out here?

PHP Code:

sv_force_unreserved                1
sv_maxplayers                    7
survivor_limit                     7 


I have this setting in my server.cfg file.

Whenever a game starts, there's only 4 characters.

And then gradually when people join, more characters get spawned (but they are dead)

Is this how to plugin is supposed to work?

Can't i have like 1 player with 6 bots playing with him?

[Danny_l4d]

Neevar, you need an addition plugin that spawns the bots like
