Left 4 Dead has many bugs, and has many ConVars that can be used against the same game, this will help you better control the abuse of these ConVars, and also make some of them work as they should, and not for the benefit of the player.

This work also contains:
[L4D1/2] Thirdpersonshoulder Block
l4d_texture_manager_block
[CSGO] client replicated sv cheats blocker

SPECIAL THANKS
This plugin was originally created for my project of a competitive L4D1, I decided to make it public because I'm sure many are tired of cheaters in the game, I didn't think it would be so well received, I appreciate everyone's support, those who help me to polish the code, those who help me with the translations, and the server owners who help me by showing me more ConVars than being part of the game, can be used as a cheat, it is incredible that even by doing some tricks, they can avoid the cheatcvar restrictions.

Some minor suggestions:

- .SMX should not be uploaded into post since it compiles on the forum.

- Suggest removing "[" and "]" from the filename.

- "BuildPath(Path_SM, path, 256" to "BuildPath(Path_SM, path, sizeof(path)"

- For the callbacks I would make the char variables "static char" so they're not re-created and zeroed each call.

- You can remove "public" for callbacks where you specify the name, only needs to be used from 3rd party forwards or forwards from SourceMod.

- Suggest adding a game-check to prevent using in other games than those it supports, using "APLRes AskPluginLoad2".

Can this be run alongside SMAC and Little Anti-Cheat?

Couple other things:

- "public void ConVarChanged_Cvars" to "void ConVarChanged_Cvars"

- The game check could be changed to "if (engine == Engine_Left4Dead || engine == Engine_Left4Dead2)" to return "APLRes_Success" and the else returning "APLRes_SilentFailure". Shorter lines and easier to read, but that's really getting into coding styles.

- The "IsClientValid" stock has redundant checks and is written badly. For example it's calling "IsClientInGame" first then "IsClientConnected", well if they're in-game they're definitely connected. I don't think L4D/2 has SourceTV or Replay bots?

So change "if (IsClientInGame(client) && IsClientValid(client))" to "if (IsClientInGame(client) && !IsFakeClient(client))" in your loop. I see so many using various "IsClientValid" stocks in for loops and they're simply duplicating checks, for example the for loop and stock are both checking client is > 1 and <= MaxClients which is pointless.

Thank you very much Silver for these recommendations, for me this support is worth a lot, and I take it very seriously, thank you very much.

About SourceTV and Replay, they are used in L4D2 tournaments, and even though I don't really care what they do there, I created this for my competitive project in L4D1, where these functions will be fully enabled and functional, the project is almost ready, I have been working for 1 year, and many of the plugins that you created are helping me.
