I spent two full days trying to get everything working on my Left 4 Dead 2 server. And I am quite sure it is NOT the mod's problem. But I am out of ideas. My host at gameservers.com is not providing much help (even though they have numerous servers running this mod). So I finally need to just ask for some help here. Hopefully the collective experiences of everyone else can figure out what is going wrong here.
(side note: I also cannot for the life of me connect to my server with the sv_search_key. It is entered in my server.cfg file, and I have it in my shortcut properties ....... +sv_search_Key xxxxxxxxxxx). I can only seem to connect if I do mm_dedicated_force_servers 68.232.179.47:27015 which is really annoying
But back to the topic at hand here. I just cannot get the mod to work for some reason. And during all testing, I had multiple real players logged into the server. I tried it in co-op and in versus for each testing.
Here's my server.cfg file ...
Code:
// You should change these
hostname BlackKnightsClan.com - L4D2
rcon_password xxxxxxx
// This states how players should contact you. Use your email or website
sv_contact [email protected]
// Number of rounds to play (only versus)
mp_roundlimit 3
// If you want to use a search key to find the server in the lobby, uncomment and edit this line
// sv_search_key xxxxxxxxxxxxx
// If you want to use this as a steam group server, uncomment this and add your group ID
// sv_steamgroup #####
// If you want to restrict this to steam group members only, uncomment this
// sv_steamgroup_exclusive 1
sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 0
// You shouldn't need to change anything below this in most cases
sv_alltalk 0
// If you enable cheats, people will be able to take over your server
sv_cheats 0
sv_consistency 1
sv_maxcmdrate 101
sv_maxrate 30000
sv_visiblemaxplayers -1
exec banned_user.cfg
exec banned_ip.cfg
My host suggested I get rid of our steam group ID line to solve the problem connecting with sv_search_key. I liked having our steam group in there so if my host was wrong please let me know so I can un-REM that line.
Also, I have my SQL database allowing 3rd party connections from the IP of the server.
Also, my databases.cfg file from "left4dead2/left4dead2/addons/sourcemod/configs/" is set properly as far as I can tell ...
Code:
"l4dstats"
{
"driver" "mysql"
"host" "whateversql.mywebsite.com"
"database" "mydatabase"
"user" "myuser"
"pass" "mypass"
//"timeout" "0"
//"port" "0"
}
I checked my database and all the tables and structure seems to be there. I checked all the directories on my server to be sure my host installed things where they should be according to the quick install instructions. I just cannot figure out why it won't work. I keep trying and trying, and typing "rank" into chat and nothing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Maybe because last game update or server location change (same time...) - but Im sure - all settings was changed to new location. Now sv_cheats should be ON?
