I managed to get sourcemods working years ago for Left 4 Dead 2 and trying to install them again seems to be pure disaster. I've done everything tutorials ask for and yet it seems I can't get the mods working correctly.

-I downloaded sourcemod 1.5.0 for windows
-I downloaded mmsource 1.9.0 for windows
-the contents have been merged into my directory
-metamod.vdf is moved into the add-ons folder
-removed all the previous plugins I had
-incorporated my steam ID into "admins_simple"

All of these procedures were added and according to most videos, the console commands included "sm" and "meta". Typing these into my console, I get nothing. So I decided I need to change the launch options to "-insecure"

After typing this into the launch options, I try to make a new game, singleplayer, local server, anything, and the loading screen instantly freezes near the end of the loading bar. I have to ctrl+alt+delete every time this happens.

What am I doing wrong?

Create Source dedicated server

From two video tutorials actually.

If you're talking about downloading the Left 4 Dead 2 Dedicated Server in the tools section, then I've already done that. Otherwise, I don't know how.

Use the HLDS Updatetool.

I never had to go into this much detail to get it working.
Are you sure this will solve the freezing problem as well?

It should, but you'll have to try it out.
