Originally Posted by Proaxel I found a problem with some custom maps where the level is technically a finale, with a rescue vehicle and end credits and everything, but ACS does not see it this way, thus it doesn't display a campaign vote and doesn't change the level when the end credits are reached. An example where this happens is Tank Challenge Is there a way to force the plugin to treat the current map as if it's a finale, and thus have it show the map vote and change to said vote winner when the end of the campaign is triggered?

To debug and potentially resolve the issue, I would suggest checking the directory...

left4dead2\missions.cache

...and make sure there is a *.txt file there that matches your custom campaign name. In that text file, for the appropriate game mode, check the campaign entry shows all of the maps, including the finale map. If any maps are missing here, add the appropriate entry.

Next check the file...

left4dead2\addons\sourcemod\translations\miss ions.phrases.txt

...and ensure the custom campaign shows up, and if not add it.

And you can manually add/remove which campaigns can be voted on by modifying the contents of the file...

left4dead2\addons\sourcemod\configs\missioncy cle.coop.txt

...or scavenge/survival/versus if not coop.

For what it is worth, I find that ACS meets my current needs and works fine, but one of its main features is that it is supposed to eliminate the need to make manual edits when custom campaigns are added/removed, but due to so many custom campaigns having incomplete info, this just doesn't work. Does anyone have a suggestion for an alternative plugin that pops up a menu to vote for the next map as each player spawns into the finale safe room, and auto-switches to the next campaign when the finale ends?

Is not switching to the first map on the list when empty.
Vote menu is not displayed in finales, despite:

Hi there, thank you for this. What would you recommend to get the Chat notification to appear at a reasonable rate? I set it to 0 expecting it to show only once.

Would -1 be good? Or something like 600 to make it every 10 minutes?

I've been getting a lot of these dumped in my server's error logs lately. Hope someone can help!

[plug344]

Why are L4D2C6 and L4D2C14 in 3-rd maps? I seem to well on these two maps, but hesitate to move them from 3-rd to Mission Name. Maybe it have there some bugs on these two maps that I don’t know will cause the game to crash..?
I noticed that there is a sentence in the Change Log of the original acs

v1.2.4 (Dec 31, 2020)
-Added precache of witch models to fix bug in The Passing campaign transition crash
Is it related to this?

I'm getting error code 3 for a bunch of mission files, even though some of them look just fine in the missions.cache when comparing them to good ones from the VDC page on L4D2 mission files. I've even copied the file of a working missions.cache file, and filled in the values with the bad mission.cache file's values, and that still didn't fix the file.
Is there a way I can figure out what's going wrong w/o trial and error?

It happens often that a finale will end, swap to the current finale and the finale sequence will be stuck until !chmap is called. Any idea why? It may be vote to skip.
