Hey guys,

I'm having an interesting issue that simply doesn't make sense to me.

After installing a custom campaign VDF, I can easily start playing it if I host normally from the Main Menu.

Trying to use the "map" command, however, it says that no such map exists (even though it appears in the maplist via the "maps" command).

Even more interestingly, if I host the game from the main menu ONCE on THAT PARTICULAR CAMPAIGN, I can then use the "map" command and host successfully forever afterwards.

What is going on?

The only way for me to be able to use Custom Campaigns from the get-go (using the "map" command) until now was to unpack the VDFs and update the "gameinfo.txt" to check each unpacked folder for extra campaigns (that way, it works straight up, without having to launch the campaign from the menu at least once). That, however, is not very lucrative, because I have thousands of unpacked files in the root L4D2 folder.

Do you know of a list that gets updated once a campaign has been launched at least once from the menu?

What does the "map" command look at to decide if it works or not (because the custom campaigns DO appear in the maps list, only they won't launch saying there is no such map)?

Thanks

EDIT (to clarify): So the way I host is first enter a listen server on any map (The Sacrifice - Port, in my case is the HUB map), and then bring up Radial Menus pre-made by me to host the Custom Campaigns. The map commands bound to these radial menus do not work, nor do they if they are written from inside a level per se into the console (vanilla campaigns work just fine). If I use the same "map" command ONCE per starting L4D2 to launch a custom campaign from the main menu, it will subsequently work from inside the Radial Menus as well from The Port (BUT ONLY THAT SPECIFIC CUSTOM CAMPAIGN). If I restart L4D2 - it stops working from the Radial Menus and I have to do the above steps again. This does not occur when the VPKs are unpacked - then everything works from the get-go.

Understood - I shall move my thread.
