Hello, I have a problem loading Sourcemod and Metamod: Source into Left 4 Dead


Whenever I load it all (with plugins created by comm. members) it comes up with a message that I have to add -insecure launch option in order to load the plugins.

After I did that, it says that because of this plugin, you are not allowed to join VAC-Secured servers ---> [addons/metamod/bin/server.dll]

So I just deleted server.dll, and of course, Sourcemod or Metamod: Source didn't load at all


I know I'm missing something...but what

Simple, either you have it insecure, and it runs no problem, but you can't play a normal game.

Or have it secure, and not load, simple enough.

This is due to a new Steam update that came out a little while ago.

Ah thanks

Will there be a fix that will be coming out any time soon? Or do we have to deal with it forever

Edit: I also tried dedi server, but the dedi server doesn't load Souremod, how does it work?

The dedicated server should run with sourcemod fine if it's the steam tools dedi. Also there is never going to be a way to fix the insecure message it was added by valve.

If I'm correct, don't you have to add the -insecure to the dedicated server as well?

Quoted from the update notes:

Clients must run with –insecure to load unsigned plugins.

Insecure clients cannot connect to secure servers.

Servers can opt to allow insecure clients by running with –insecure.

Secure clients can connect to both secure and insecure servers.

So the only way to host a secured Sourcemod server is to use the Dedicated Server Tool?

If so, it won't work for some reason :/ I added all the necessary components (sourcemod/metamod/metamod.vdf) and then started the tool from tools menu, started it, and I type in console sm_admin to see if anything pops up but it only says unknown command


Edit: I also added -insecure to launch options for the tool but no go

Perhaps you misplaced a file somewhere, worked for me upon trying dedicated server.

Uncheck the VAC secure option if you want sourcemod to load, that may be what caused it for you.

As it didn't load with it enabled for me.

My server is always secure and sourcemod loads fine on it.

Hmm....then what is the problem?

  1. Stable Snapshot of Sourcemod (Front Page)
  2. Stable Snapshot of Metamod: Source (Front Page)
  3. Left 4 Dead 2 metamod.vdf
  4. Various Community-Made Plugins
  5. L4DToolz Metamod: Source plugin
Set -insecure parameter for Left 4 Dead 2 Dedicated Server Tool -> Start Left 4 Dead 2 Dedicated Server Tools -> Uncheck VAC Secured, left everything else to default -> Start Server -> Server Console -> sm_admin -> Unknown Server Command


Set no parameter for Left 4 Dead 2 Dedicated Server Tool -> Start Left 4 Dead 2 Dedicated Server Tools -> Leave everything to default -> Start Server -> Server Console -> sm_admin -> Unknown Server Command


I tried changing snapshots of Sourcemod and Metamod: Source but didn't work. D:

Question to McFlurry: Do you use the Dedicated Server Tools or HLDS Update Tool to host your server? Or did you buy it
