hey guys. I'm a bit new to sourcemod, but am so far loving this all-8-survivors mod idea. That said, I am having a couple problems with it, despite a couple days now of trying to fix it. I wonder if anyone knows what I am doing wrong.
My main problem is that 'normally' either
only the L4D2 or L4D1 survivors appear automatically when starting an 8-survivor game. ie: on Hotel, everyone is a L4D2 survivor, but on No Mercy, everyone is a L4D1 survivor. It seems as if the 8-survivor mod isn't working, but sometimes though, oddly, on No Mercy I get a couple or all the L4D2 models to appear automatically (not the characters, just their models). I'm not sure what is causing it to kinda work now and then with No Mercy, but not in L4D2 maps...
-I followed the installation instructions as on page 1.
-I read thru most of the 80-plus pages of this thread without luck
-I have downtown mod installed and all my other mods seem to work
-I can use !csm to switch between all 8 characters/models just fine, it just doesn't auto assign the survivors automatically.
Also, I get some stuff in Spanish, instead of English, when joining the game. ie: "[8 Survivors] estas jugando como Zoey!", instead of 'you are Zoey' or whatever. It only says this message when I join a L4D1 map, and not a L4D2 map, like Hotel. Leaves me thinking the 8-survivor mod doesn't load up when I load up a L4D2 map.

Btw, anyone know of a way to show all 8 team mates in the TAB-accessed player menu, instead of just 4?
Sorry for the long post, but I figure it shows that I have tried and hope to be worthy of help.
Cheers.
update: so, i spent the last couple hours doing a fresh re-install of HLDS, metamod, sourcemod, and the required files for this mod. I got the newest snapshot of the 5.x left 4 downtown .so file; newest MM&SM files; and the other required files. Not much explanation here on where to put files, what versions I need, how to configure, or where to find help on third-party plugins, but I think i figured that part out well enough. *hintcoughhint* I did make the needed, yet vaguely described, changes to the cfg files though, including setting the survivor limit to 8. I am however still having the same problems as described earlier. On No Mercy, things seem to work (as models), except I get spanish translations from the 8-survivor mod; and on Hotel, I get just L4D2 characters and clones, but no spanish translations. Setting l4d_csm_l4d1_survivors to "2" or "1" makes no difference to my problem. For some reason also, despite the super tank being enabled and such, when playing alone in camp mode with 7 coop ai's, the tank is super easy to kill. meh. Re-installing did seem to solve a lag issue though. double meh.
