Is it a particuliar cvar that is not respected? Is this on Windows or Linux? I've just changed every cvar on my Linux test server and ran exec sourcemod/abm.cfg and every change was respected. Is the cvar maybe being overridden elsewhere?

If you're trying to mess with a cvar through the console, it'll be overridden on the next map load. If you want to lock a cvar through the console, prefix the value with -l. That's a lowercase L e.g., "abm_extraplayers -l 4". Doing this, you'll keep getting extra players on every map load until the server restarts in which case it'll fall back to what's in abm.cfg.

The config just doesn't automatically get executed, I didn't override it anywhere and I use windows
Everyone spawns with the basic shotgun, adrenaline etc.

abm_consumable "pain_pills"
abm_extraplayers "4"
abm_healitem "defibrillator"
abm_loglevel "1"
abm_minplayers "4"
abm_primaryweapon "rifle"
abm_secondaryweapon "katana"
abm_spawninterval "18"
abm_tankchunkhp "1001"
abm_throwable "molotov"
abm_zoey "1"

I've just applied the above to abm.cfg on a Windows server and it all got picked up. I'm not sure why it's not working for you and if anyone knows what might be happening here, I will certainly appreciate some help.

Edit, lol it just doesn't work when you leave some cvars with " " blank
I tried to remove primary weapon and the adrenaline by making it blank. If you don't give any weapon name it goes with the default ones
writing any random thing inside the " spams NULL Ent 'weapon_0' in GiveNamedItem! in console but works

I wasn't adding space inside it, I just used it to make it more visible in the post :v

If a server is running too many plugins. Sometimes it won't obey the cvars in the plugin cfgs and you have to set them inside the server.cfg as well and even vice versa.

That's with any plugin though.

yah as far as i know this is just a Linux issue

I just put this near the end of server.cfg

exec "sourcemod/l4d2_thirdperson_melee.cfg"

for every plugin config i have, works like a charm...

This happens when the server text buffer is full i think.

you may want to delay your configs from being used by like 5 to 10secs so loading map and stuff can finish

worked for me

kot4404 I'll look into the issue a bit more. Sev, thanks for the advice and what to look out for next time. MasterMind420 that sounds like a brilliant tip and there should be no downside to this, right?
