Damn, it keeps only spawning 1 gun, using that exact code.

@Gixxer: Maybe this helps you, it´s from L4D1 (Airport Map1) but I use the same constructs for L4D2, just with other classnames. The only difference I see is the "spawnflags" you don´t use. Try it, maybe it works. cheers.

add:
{
"origin" "6878.312988 -505.852844 803.687134"
"spawnflags" "2"
"solid" "6"
"skin" "0"
"disableshadows" "0"
"count" "4"
"angles" "180 180 90"
"classname" "weapon_autoshotgun_spawn"
}
{
"origin" "6865.437988 -517.360748 803.687134"
"spawnflags" "2"
"solid" "6"
"skin" "0"
"disableshadows" "0"
"count" "4"
"angles" "180 180 90"
"classname" "weapon_rifle_spawn"
}

Gun doesn't spawn with spawnflags 2 or 3, but will with one... But again, only one gun spawns.

I noticed that weapon_x_spawn for CSS weapons doesnt spawn anything in L4D2, but individual weapon_x CSS weapons class will only spawn one instance, regardless of the count value. I had to copy/paste the same code (same position & angle) to get multiple instances of weapons.

Can I see your code for it?

ive been going through the dumps today for a different reason but noticed something...
it doesnt seem as though they even use the same code for weapon spawns in l4d2. so perhaps it isnt possible to get more then 1 weapon pickup anymore with that format.

they seem to use a classname weapon_spawn or weapon_item_spawn (or both). the weapon_item_spawn looks to be a random weapon determiner (which gun can spawn at that spot). weapon_spawn uses a weapon_selection of something like any_pistol or tier2_shotgun.

so try looking into those.

This spawns 1 mp5:

add:
{
"origin" "10730 7900 -534.334"
"spawnflags" "1"
"solid" "6"
"count" "5"
"angles" "-2.99586 240.136 84.7991"
"classname" "weapon_smg_mp5"
}

but this spawns none:

add:
{
"origin" "10730 7900 -534.334"
"spawnflags" "1"
"solid" "6"
"count" "5"
"angles" "-2.99586 240.136 84.7991"
"classname" "weapon_smg_mp5_spawn"
}

So to get 5 mp5 spawns I just pasted the top code over and over:

add:
{
"origin" "10730 7900 -534.334"
"spawnflags" "1"
"solid" "6"
"count" "5"
"angles" "-2.99586 240.136 84.7991"
"classname" "weapon_smg_mp5"
}{
"origin" "10730 7900 -534.334"
"spawnflags" "1"
"solid" "6"
"count" "5"
"angles" "-2.99586 240.136 84.7991"
"classname" "weapon_smg_mp5"
}{
"origin" "10730 7900 -534.334"
"spawnflags" "1"
"solid" "6"
"count" "5"
"angles" "-2.99586 240.136 84.7991"
"classname" "weapon_smg_mp5"
}{
"origin" "10730 7900 -534.334"
"spawnflags" "1"
"solid" "6"
"count" "5"
"angles" "-2.99586 240.136 84.7991"
"classname" "weapon_smg_mp5"
}{
"origin" "10730 7900 -534.334"
"spawnflags" "1"
"solid" "6"
"count" "5"
"angles" "-2.99586 240.136 84.7991"
"classname" "weapon_smg_mp5"
}

But then there must have been a difference between l4d2 demo and l4d2 game. In the demo I spawned ALL NEW guns and all 4 players could even grab the same gun. When my server was updated to l4d final version I forgot to copy the stripper map config files to my PC, but it´s the same as I already posted, just with other weapon class names. So for me it was working in demo in both 1st and 2nd level of "parish". I tried this with the "first" L4D2 version from stripper. There was released another version shortly after first release, maybe there´s a glitch now.. I really don´t know.

Cool, I seem to have everything figured out.

Except for... Those extra medkits, even by filtering weapon_first_aid_kit_spawn, I still get a some medkits to spawn. If anyone can figure out how they're spawning I would really appreciate it.

Thats explained in commentary mode. weapon_item_spawns are spots in which the Director has complete freedom to spawn nothing or any item or weapon there.




Out of curiosity, whats the other weaponnames for the german "cut" guns? Do they work already in the map theyre spawned in first?
