;) We'll leave it up to the community, not Valve, to decide whether the game should be customizable.

(In so far as it is allowed by the Steam Subscriber Agreement)

since teh lobby system, I would doubt valve would want servers to get customized

Honestly, as much as I love modding and what not, I really hope they do not release the SDK for one reason. Theres so many server admins that will literally upload every plugin they can possibly manage to install, and in turn wind up with ridiculous servers, that tend to also be the most popular.

Valve is partly at fault for such a limited amount of maps, and the custom map scene never really took off for TF2 like it did in CSS. The game is just much different to map for so...I personally would rather them leave L4D unmodifiable aside from basic server commands and what not.

This game is perfect how it is, and really would prefer not to be plagued with servers jam packed with mods made by people who just read the Sourcemod wiki. If only VSPs were possible I would be all for that, as it severely limits who is coding for the game, but obviously if a VSP is possible, so is Sourcemod so meh.

[BrutalGoerge]

how about a zombie-mod plugin for it?

wouldn't that be awesome.

[CrimsonGT]

Oh yeah, that would be excellent :<

I just read theres apparently ZPS servers that use TF2 characters so who knows, I can only imagine playing L4D with medic/heavy/soldier/pyro. Demoman would be pretty OP for the rushes.

Even tho, would be good to have something that we can have some admin options tho.

pretty sure just some basic admining tools are all i need...and i remember an article saying that it was going to be moddable per valve...my server will stay fairly vanilla though because the root game is what its about...crazy mods are a nice departure from the norm though to bring variety...

have you not kept up with the hlds mailing list? They've already released an update to cater more towards server admins and running dedicated L4D servers that don't want to cater to random people (aka allowing you to self remove your server from the "lobby")

Hopefully, they'll get everything right, come game day. Right now, I'm hopeful.

yes, some kind of admin option is needed, even if it's just votekick/map/ban type stuff.

Personally, the only plugin I'd like to see for L4D is the ability to turn godmode, infinite ammo, and (maybe?) noclip on without enabling sv_cheats, for those times when you just want to mess around.

Maybe som stats tracking stuff also? I've uploaded some logs to Psychostats, but honestly the log format currently looks like a mess, so who knows if Stormtrooper can use the current log format.
