Also experiencing this issue - but also noting that the plugin doesn't load properly.

It looks fine when listing plugins, but when trying to reload it, console says it's not loaded. And when trying to load it, console says there is an error.

sm plugins load tankonspawn

Windows Server.
Latest SourceMod and MetaMod.

I've been searching for a way to ensure a tank on first map for months, just seems it's basically not possible.

Listen servers are not suppoted. Download normal dedicated server. Instruction here (section 2).

[Marttt]

Usually, you can't use commands on Listen Servers from console.

Instead, you have to type in chat "!sm_tanks" and it probably will work.

Anyway as Dragokas said, is not recommended, neither supported to use Listen Servers for "live" servers.

If you can't, for some reason, try installing this plugin.

Updated.

1.23 (31-Oct-2020) - Added ConVar "l4d_tank_on_spawn_create_tank_flag" - Admin flag required to spawn a tank via the menu 1.24 (29-May-2021) - Prevented tank duplication on vehicle leaving. 1.25 (05-Jun-2021) - Some ConVars are added to help combatting with weird director behaviour when tank waves spawns too often: * l4d_tank_on_spawn_director_waves_interval_fin - def.: 0 - (for finale) Minimum time (in sec.) required before allowing director to spawn a new tank wave after the last tank died * l4d_tank_on_spawn_director_waves_interval_min - def.: 0 - (before finale) Minimum random start time (in sec.) required before allowing director to spawn a new tank wave after the last tank died * l4d_tank_on_spawn_director_waves_interval_max - def.: 0 - (before finale) Minimum random end time (in sec.) required before allowing director to spawn a new tank wave after the last tank died Default: disabled. (optionally) Recommended values to fix problems (when only they take place): 30 / 60 / 180 respectively. - Added ConVar "l4d_tank_on_spawn_enable_duplicate" - Enable tanks duplication (1 - On / 0 - Off, in this case plugin will only control tank's hp) - Made ConVar "l4d_tank_on_spawn_enabled" to be dynamically tracked. - Tank spawn check (and hp assigning) is 0.1 sec. delayed now to give more flexibility for 3rd party plugins. 1.28 (06-Feb-2022) - Changed many ConVar's default values to prevent misunderstanding like "why the number of tanks spawned is different to the one I voted": * Autobalancer is disabled by default. Read "Settings" section carefully to understand how to enable. - Added ConVar "l4d_tank_on_spawn_mapstart_relax_time" - Prevent director from spawning tanks within this number of seconds after map started - Added ConVar "l4d_tank_on_spawn_info_level" - Duplicate service (vote) information? 0 - No, 1 - In console, 2 - In server. (Can be combined) - Added compatiblity with listen servers (thanks to @Marttt). - Added translation into Hungarian (thanks to @KasperH). - Corrected some translation colors.

[Dragokas]

Updated.

1.30 (21-Feb-2022) - Removed privately hardcoded decreasing tank count on 2 maps of L4D1. - Fixed menu selected values aren't preserved for the next campaign (conflicting with ConVars Anomaly Fixer's "Round Start" enforcer). - Make "left4dhooks" to be really optional.

Minimum required version is SourceMod 1.10.

Why does my tank always only show 19

Tank 19/50 Health: 10000

How to increase the maximum number of tanks

[Dragokas]

The max number of tank entities in L4D engine is limited by the MaxClient constant which is 32 and also includes all players and bots (survivors and infected).
So actual max tank number = 32 - players - bots (from all teams).
Also, max simultaneous tanks are hard limited in ConVar:

- l4d_tank_on_spawn_countlimit - def.: 16 - Maximum number of tanks allowed simultaneously exist on the map (other will be moved in spawn queue)
