Hey everyone!

I could use some help in the configuration. I've a CentOS VPS, where I'm installed a l4d2 server, which is runing correctly in the co-op campaign gamemode.
Now i have 2 problems, what i want to solve:

1. Somehow the server is runing only in co-op mode, but i want it to be useable in versus mode too. Two lines from my l4d2server.cfg:
sv_gametypes "versus,survival,coop,teamversus,teamscavenge ,mutation5,mutation12,community1"
mp_gamemode "coop"

Earlier I tried to put all gamemodes I wanted to use after the mp_gamemode keyword too, but somehow only the coop version working.

2. I copyed the server files, and put it into an another folder, and i want to run an another server too. I'm tried to run it on a different port(changed the _default.cfg and with command too), but it's saying that it's already runing (I changed even the host field in the l4d2server.cfg). What am I doing wrong? What should I do for make it working?

3.(bonus) Is it possible to test the server versus mode without an another person? I mean I wanna do this alone, but for starting a server without 2 ppls looks impossible from the regular way. Is there any cmd for it, hint or something?

Thanks!

3.
sm_cvar sb_all_bot_game 1
sm_cvar allow_all_bot_survivor_team 1
Then you can test versus alone.
mp_gamemode "versus" obviously

1.

mp_gamemode "coop,versus,campaign" or just 1 that you desire.

Hey!

Thank you for the answer!

I'm changed the values in the config you suggested, and reload the server. But after i tried to connect to the server with the "connect" cmd from the console, it's just started a normal co-op server on the Parish map. In the config I'm just used this line: mp_gamemode "versus"

This is the configuration I'm using now:

// Hostname for server.
hostname "SECRET"

// RCON - remote console password.
rcon_password "SECRET"

// Server password - for private servers.

Do you have any idea, what could be wrong?

Well i finally found someone who had a bit time for me, and then it's started, so thank you for the help.

I would have a new question now, should i create a new thread for it or can it put it here?
So.. in the coop mode I uploaded 54 maps on the server 3 months ago, and all of them works correcly. However there are some maps, like the "Back to the school", which is capable for versus mode. When we tried to run a test game then I got an error.


We tried some another maps too, and we always got this error message. Could someone help on what is the reason I got this message and how could I heal the server to be able to run the custom maps too in versus mode please?

[Triniayo]

Seems like that the maps need additional .vpk‘s. Try to find them and upload them into the correct path given by the image: /addons/

Thank you guys for the help! It's working perfectly now!
I'm changed the configuration{sv_consistency 0}, and it's perfect now.

Can I ask a last one?
If I'm restarting the l4d2 server, then on every map I'm starting a game on kicks us back to the lobby, after the loader reaches the 100%, and the map is loading in only for the second start. Of course, later, if we try to play on that map once more then it's loading for the first time. It's seems like an initialization error, or I dont know how to call it. Is there anyone who know about this issue/effect, or how could I solve this?

For me it's ok, because I know that it's loading for the second time, but for some peoples it's confusing, if they dont knows about this issue, and that's why i want to fix this.
