Adding the gamedata required to run the plugin crashes the linux server in L4D2 and just keeps restarting it. without any avail.

I am going to look until the end of next month, if Внатуре not fix it before.
Until that, we have many other interesting projects require attention

Note
- This plugin has passed a lot of tests from different people and still we could not fix 1 bug. When loading custom models, there is a chance that the player will have to restart the game for him to see this model
- Also if you want some files to stay in the table and be uploaded when the player connects, then you can create restrict_strings.cfg in the data folder and add the files there
- If you have any problems with the plugin, please unsubscribe below
- The plugin was tested only in Left 4 Dead 2, but in Left 4 Dead 1 it should also work

Required
- Gamedata to plugin work

Cmds
sm_get_restricted_strings - to get all list of strings from cfg which doesn't affect by this plugin.
sm_restore_st - Restore downloadables stringtable items

Credits
- Dragokas for original idea and his plugin also ref
Thank you so much for this plugin. My friends and I recently started playing L4D1 again and this plugin has helped treendously. There is one issue though. When I use get_restricted_strings, it correctly prints the files listed in restricted_strings.cfg. But, when client connects, they don't download those files, only on map transition completely ignoring the restricted_strings.cfg file. Please have a look.

Takes long time stuck at loading scoreboard screen during map transition. May be the cause is from this plugin

Because this is exactly what this plugin intended for.

Default:
- stuck long time on black screen when you first time join the server.

With this plugin:
- stuck long time on scoreboard screen when you first time have map transition.

On linux the plugin just crashes the game when you join. It's been 10 years and no one has ever released and good fix for this on linux.

I don't have Linux so I can only blindly hope that it works
