Hey community,
I setup my server so far and everything is up and running, only got a few errors in my logs which don't do any harm but I have one big problem:

As an example I am using the vicious infected plugin, which is running fine so far, but some of the settings I changed in the cfg file of the plugin will stay the same, no matter what I do. When I reopen the config file the settings are still the same like I set them but ingame they have changed or a still default.

The same is true for several other plugins I use. It seems like Sourcemod is not using the configs of the plugins at all.

Could anybody please help me?

Best regards, CaptainYarrr

Depending on the errors, but errors are errors are errors

As for your config file, make sure the path is correct and the folders are setup with the correct security access.

Windows or Linux servers? What version of Sourcemod?

Thanks for the answer!

I am running Sourcemod Version 1.5.3

Nearly all plugin configs are in l4d2/Left4Dead2/cfg/sourcemod , most of them were automatically created so I guess that's the right path.

It's a Linux Server hosted by Nitrado.

Check the spoiler for the errors.

Basically I stop my server, do the changes inside the configs, save them and then restart the server. The problem is the changes i've done will not appear in the game, instead the "old" or "default" settings are used.

How many plugins are not changing settings you have in their respective config file? have you tried contacting the author of the plugins you're having issues with?

[GsiX]

get rid of the plugin that is spitting error and try again..

Are you sure you have the right privileges to overwrite in FTP when uploading the changed file to your hosted server? Simple check in FTP if the file on the game server is a different size than the one you changed on your computer make sure to overwrite the file or at least delete the old file and upload again.

I would make sure your modified version is successfully uploaded to the server.

Checked everything above but the problem still persists. Is there anyway to overwrite or enforce certain plugin settings?

The vicious infected plugins gives these instructions:

Installation Download and copy L4D2 Noxious Smoker.smx to Addons/Sourcemod/Plugins Download and copy l4d2addresses.txt to Addons/Sourcemod/Gamedata Delete plugin.L4D2.NoxiousSmoker.cfg from the CFG/Sourcemod folder.

Which really doesn't make sense. Why would he say to edit it if you are suppose to delete the cfg file which reads the configured settings.



I don't know why he does this I suggest a work around as I have not used the Vicious Infected plugins personally.

Just type all the custom settings in funcommands.cfg

make sure to type sm_cvar (special command)


for example for Vicious Infected Noxious Smoker
sm_cvar l4d_ucm_asphyxiation "1"
sm_cvar l4d_ucm_smokescreenchance "20"
