It works! Thank you!!

Updated.

1.12 (26-Nov-2021) - Added missing NOTIFY flag to ConVar version. - New ConVar "z_difficulty_ex" (read only!) - allows for other plugins to track extended game difficulty name string voted via this plugin. Pre-defined values are: * Easy * Normal * Hard * Hard+ * Impossible * Impossible+ - Removed #PRIVATE_STUFF - Added data/votedifficulty_vote_block.txt file allowing to block users from using vote functionality by name and SteamId.

Good day.
I have a question for you. Is it possible to do something so that the variables that are on the screen are not displayed in the chat? And somehow it confused me.

[Dragokas]

Possible, but the solution is too heavy (need to include Cvars parser, I don't want to).
It's better to use custom plugin to prevent those messages from appearing.

E.g. write in configs something like that:

sm_suppressconvar ammo_smg_max disabled
sm_cvar ammo_smg_max 200
sm_suppressconvar ammo_smg_max enabled

together with [ANY] ConVar Suppression

or use something like [ANY] Suppress Manager

Updated.

1.13 (29-Nov-2021) - Able to change difficulty when lobby is reserved (thanks to Silvers). 1.14 (13-Nov-2022) - Added ConVar "sm_votedifficulty_default_set" - Do we need to set default difficulty when the server get restarted? (1 - Yes, 0 - No) - Added ConVar "sm_votedifficulty_default_difficulty" - Default difficulty to use when the server get restarted - Fixed warnings in SM 1.11.

I spent some time checking this cvar of z_difficulty_locked, which only exists in L4D1.

[Dragokas]

Fixed.

1.15 (26-Nov-2022) - Fixed ConVar "z_difficulty_locked" does not exist in L4D2.

It's a Valve/SourceMod bug. Please, report here: #1745

I'll do an attempt of a temporarily fix.

Updated.

1.16 (21-Jan-2023) - fix for SourceMod bug, when first letter get replaced with lower-case, e.g. sDifficulty = "impossible", instead of "Impossible" (perhaps, SM uses bugged Valve KeyValues system to store menu items data, or just uses Valve menu data directly)
