[L4D2]problem starting server in SCAVENGE mode

Neevar · **Author**

Hi guys,

I'm trying to start a scavenge server for l4d2.

Unfortunately I'm failing to do so.

I've set sv_gametypes "scavenge", mp_gamemode "scavenge"

the startup commands also have these values with +map c8m5_rooftop

i also tried c8m5_rooftop scavenge

The map loads to scavenge, BUT

here's the thing,

I'm inside the saferoom. There is the timer and all. The moment I step out of the saferoom, the timer runs and when I get to the area where the generator will be in a scavenge map for c8m5, there isn't anything.

The only way this works is if I do the changelevel c8m5_rooftop scavenge or map c8m5_rooftop after the server has loaded completely.

What am I doing wrong?

Try mp_gamemode "scavenge" in startupline/comandline.And remove it from cfgs

Here's the stuffs I've tried so far,

1.
(+) no sv_gametypes and mp_gamemode declared in server.cfg
(+) startup parameters have +mp_gamemode scavenge +sv_gametypes scavenge +map c8m5_rooftop

RESULT: Scavenge game, but survivors in saferoom
_____________________________________________ _________________________

2.
(+) Same as 1, added +map c8m5_rooftop scavenge

RESULT: Scavenge game, but survivors in saferoom
_____________________________________________ _________________________

3.
(+) Same as 2, with mp_gamemode and sv_gametypes specified in server.cfg

RESULT: Scavenge game, but survivors in saferoom
_____________________________________________ _________________________

4.
(+) Removed mp_gamemode and sv_gametypes from startup parameters but kept those in server.cfg

RESULT: Scavenge game, but survivors in saferoom
_____________________________________________ _________________________

5.
(+) Found a solution saying to create a file called scavenge.cfg that contained "map c1m4_atrium scavenge" and add to startup parameters +exec scavenge.cfg
(+) Added mp_gamemode and sv_gametypes to server.cfg

RESULT: scavenge.cfg didn't get executed. Map defaulted to c1m1_hotel. It was still a scavenge mode
_____________________________________________ _________________________

6.
(+) Startup server as per all the above, do a "changelevel c1m4_atrium scavenge"

RESULT: proper scavenge server. meaning, the survivors were at the correct spawn area with generator
_____________________________________________ _________________________

7.
(+) Startup server as per all the above, do a "map c1m4_atrium scavenge"

RESULT: proper scavenge server. meaning, the survivors were at the correct spawn area with generator

that was the same link i used for my 5th try.

UNLESS i do an initial changelevel <scavenge_map> scavenge or map <scavenge_map> scavenge,

the servers loads the map into scavenge mode BUT survivors spawned inside saferoom like a versus match.

You are missing something some where.
Mind posting cfgs startup etc, remember to remove any data you do not want leaked, like passes ip.

anyone?

+sv_gametypes scavenge +mp_gamemode scavenge why? You only need 1

Or +exec scavange.cfg.
Have all settings you want there

Type this two cvars in server.cfg

sv_gametypes means that the Server is allowed to play the modes that are typed in.

sm_cvar mp_gamemode sets the gametype which runs on the server. When u restart the Server it loads versus so that u see the versus map in L4D2 and you can directly join in this versus game. i set both to versus so i have a VERSUS ONLY server. Do you want to have a versus and coop server than type sv_gametypes "versus,coop". When players filled now a lobby up with 4 players in coop mode and they start the game they could be send to your server. Thats the difference between sv_gametypes "versus" and sv_gametypes "versus,coop".

Anyways, i tried what you said, they still are in saferoom.

I also found this https://github.com/nagadomi/l4d2_sca...1st_round_skip

not sure if it works as I can only test it once I get home. will update here.
