If you use internal sourcemod vote, it is 100% possible.
I am developing it already. (Refer to basevotes.sp)

Update - done
[L4D2] IVote (Kick, Ban, Slay) [v1.0 | 23 May 2021]

I didn't say it is impossible. I'm using simplified code for voting where vote counting is unavailbale. This code is very well tested in several of my plugins and bug-free. To make an extended version it requires a lot of investment in cost of possible bugs. I don't want to. I see no significant functional reasons.

Updated.

2.3 (01-Jul-2022) - Allowed to vote everybody against clients who located in deny list (regardless of vote access flag). - Added compatibility with Auto-Name-Changer by Exle. "newnames.txt" file will be detected and merged to deny list. - Fixed compilation warnings on SM 1.11.

[Dragokas]

Updated again.

2.4 (01-Jul-2022) - Fix for previous update. - Also, support for old version of Auto-Name-Changer with newnames.ini file name, instead of newnames.txt.

Hi Dragokas , Can you add sourcebans support to this plugin? Can you make sure that the players that have been cast are added to the sourcebans database? The reason for expulsion should also be the reason for voting. e.g. Banned by vote for Team Killing . Banned by vote for vote Reason

Hello, without this plugin I would not have run an L4D 1 server and it was the first plugin I installed on my L4D 1 server. Thank you for this very helpful plugin that takes care of several important exploits and bugs of the L4D 1 voting system, which are used by crazy individuals to destroy so many matches.

[Dragokas]

You're welcome.

Yesterday there was a strange situation: one of these Tks, who is known for exploiting loopholes in the L4D 1 voting system (disconnecting and rejoining when he is kicked, and kicking other players while not in the game when he is in the process on rejoining), has Somehow managed to kick a BOT in a versus game even though I set the sm_votekick_show_bots variable to “0”. Since then, I've wondered how he did it.
Logs:

votekick.log (anonymized):
L 01/06/2024 - 011:41: [KICK STARTED] by xxx (STEAM_1:1xxxxxxxx | [XXX] XXX.XXX.XX.XX)
L 01/06/2024 - 011:41: [KICK AGAINST] Zoey (BOT | [] 127.0.0.1)
L 01/06/2024 - 011:53: [KICKED] Zoey (BOT | [] 127.0.0.1)
Server log (changed "kick_reason" text in cfg):
L 01/06/2024 - 011:53: "Zoey<108><BOT><Survivor>" disconnected (reason "Kicked by Console : You have been kicked from session")

The plugin is effective in kicking this annoying guy for 1 h.

At first i tried to kick a bot myself but without success. So i looked in the code and added


if( !g_hCvarShowBots.BoolValue && IsFakeClient(target) )
return false;

in function IsVoteAllowed .

Although it's just a blind shot on my part without knowing what caused this unusual behavior and probably does not fix it. If something like this happens again, I will note it here. At first I used the sm_votekick_show_bots variable for the test, but I wasn't sure if its scope was global so that it would be visible within a function. I suspect that the "g_" of g_hCvarShowBots.BoolValue indicates that it is a global variable, so I used that instead.

[Dragokas]

It make sense.

Updated.

2.5 (07-Jan-2024) - Fixed exploit in kicking bots (coded by alliedfront).
