I recommend using Merudo fork version.

Or jeremy fork version.

I fixed an error while loading the cookies on player spawn (based on Merudo version).

Spoiler

Exception reported: Client X is not in game
Blaming: survivor_chat_select.smx
Call stack trace:
  [0] PrintToChat
  [1] Line 473, survivor_chat_select.sp::Timer_LoadCookie

And an enum error on SM1.11

Thanks Mart, I had this error.

Now that there's a bunch of forks popping up, and given that the original plugin is completely busted, I might go ahead with making a new thread sometime this week.
I'd also say mi123645's Character Select Menu (this thread) should be unapproved since it's highly outdated and tries to fix bugs that no longer exist (specifically with Bill's netprop and spawning CI with his model loaded, this bug was fixed by Valve years ago but the plugin still tries to work around it), but that would mean unapproving Merudo's fork as well...

In the meantime, I've posted a new version of my SCS fork to my Gitgud page. It applies Mattt's fix alongside some other fixes for bugs I've found, including loading custom models with filenames longer than 64 characters.

Don't use the plugin in the original post.
Merudo's SCS is preferred if you want only the 8 stock survivors. Marttt's version is the same, but fixes a bug with loading cookies.

I have a fork as well, which is specifically for custom model support. I tossed it onto a Git repo (see above) with some example models here.

I say go with my fork or Mattt's patch, depending on if you want custom survivors or not.

sm_csc doesn't set cookies, only sm_csm does that.
The plugin currently doesn't have any method of controlling which bot gets which skin outside of the "least prevalent survivor" selection process.

That's because that specific plugin uses a hardcoded limit of 42 characters when checking the player's model, specifically on line 693. Changing 42 to PLATFORM_MAX_PATH fixes the issue, one line fix.
I attached a patched version of the Incap Crawl plugin. See below.

It's very good to see continued interest in this plugin, it's become a staple of my server.

Further testing has yielded some results however that I feel should be noted:

1. The maximum custom character limit appears to be around 55 or so extra survivors. Any more than this causes the server to crash immediately on the initial server loading process when it gets to the plugin. May seem like a lot but having friends request stuff hits the limit pretty quick, sadly.

2. The plugin seems to assign identities impressively well, however some specific instances such as fall-screams or vocalizations via mods like Gear Transfer mod are always randomized on characters.
Case in point: Survivor will be a Coach-based model, but yet when falling can have any of the 8 survivor's screams (ie. Coach falls, screams like Zoey. Or transferring pills to a character with, say, Louis will give Bill's Pills response line.) Humorous, but strange.

3. Weapon attachments seem bugged out sometimes, for instance the beta/TRS Francis I have in custom models sometimes shows with a pistol inside his face. This isn't that big of an issue since I've seen it with all CSM-style plugins, so no biggie here and it usually fixes itself somewhere along the lines anyway.

At any rate, looking forward to future revisions and the upcoming release you mentioned!

I've kinda gone away from csm and all 8 survivors. If its not one thing, its another. I'd like to be able to enjoy the new talker fixes provided by the TLS update, without having them tied to a survivor set. Its easy to blame the TLS team, but at the same time, they aren't making updates with csm in mind or they would've come out with an official all 8 survivor, bug free mutation.

Thanks I have updated.

Sappykun thanks for the work to get this updated. Much appreciated, even by newbs like me.

I have taken your config folder and merged it with:
\left4dead2\addons\sourcemod\configs
I have taken your scripting folder and merged it with:
\left4dead2\addons\sourcemod\scripting

I have configured \left4dead2\cfg\server.cfg and added the following:
/////////////////////////
//[L4D2] Survivor Chat Select 2
////////////

l4d_csm_admins_only 0 //[0/1] Should admins get exclusive access to the CSM menu?
l4d_scs_botschange 1 //[0/1] Should new bots spawn as the least prevalent survivor?
l4d_scs_cookies 1 //[0/1] Toggles cookie storage
l4d_scs_zoey 0 //[0/1/2] Which prop does Zoey get? 0 is Rochelle (for Windows servers), 1 is Zoey (for Linux servers), 2 is Nick (for Windows servers with FakeZoey)


After restarting the server,
ive tried all the commands and they dont work in the dev console and chat (i am admin btw)
!csc
csc
!csm
csm
!sm_csm
sm_csm
!sm_csc
sm_csc

And nothing worked. What am I doing wrong? I figured i followed everything perfectly. thanks. Note: I am running the latest sourcemod version.

Enum () you need to remove ()

Thanks, updated.
