[HL-SDK]

Damizean, I'm only posting this here because I am linking to it. I just increased the bounds you set since I plan on >8. I suggest posting what you posted here in the new plugins forum or have it linked on page 1 of this thread, it is very useful!

Windows or Linux? Did you reboot your server after installing it?

I don't understand. Are you using 0.2.0 or one of the betas we were testing on your server? If it's the beta then you could tell me what your logs say when it crashes (look for [LEFT4DOWNTOWN] lines)?

Also check your console logs, might be helpful, who knows..

I've just modified the core parts to use survivor limit, instead of a fixed value of 8. It kinda takes some time to check if the survivors have been created already (if I spawned the bots asap, some extra ones would be created), but at least it enforces consistency until all the missing slots have been filled.

Looks a lot like http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=83699 which leads me to believe it would work.

All those timers look a bit hackish though, isn't there a way to make it more event-oriented?

You don't need to put sv_visiblemaxplayers (put it to -1 if anything), my extension automatically sets the maximum players reported.

Left 4 Downtown Extension (0.2.0.0) by Igor "Downtown1" Smirnov
I'm using the version you released in this topic, so that I can CHOOSE what l4d_maxplayers is set to.

[Damizean]

Yeah, the code for the bot spawning is pretty much devicenull's. sb_add doesn't seem to create any bot past 4 either, so there's no other way for now.

All those timers look a bit hackish though, isn't there a way to make it more event-oriented?

As far as I know, there's no event (on the events list, that is) triggered to safely determine the end of the bot spawning cycle, so seems we're stuck with timers as of now :/

Anyway, please look into the AddSurvivorBot function, may make things nicer (spawning a fake client means players can't take over inmediately, maybe spawning an actual bot will provide better results)

i can make sb_add to work, but only for no limit :} so thats why i don't give signature for it

[Visual77]

Downtown1, this is working perfect. But you can really see why valve never
increased the maxplayer limit or why they never released the game with 8 vs 8 versus.
I never thought this game would lagg so badly with 14 or 16 players but clearly it does.

Any news of that? We must get this to work with the lobby system.

[DDR Khat]

Seems it was the plugins I was using causing the issue. Also let me introduce Left4Dead Super Versus. With it and Left4Downtown you can have a full-blown 8 vs 8 versus match! have fun folks.

I have the extension installed properly and l4d_maxplayers set to 12, but it isn't working. even though HLSW/the server browser says 8/12 or 4/12, it wont let players join past the normal set limit. im running it on a windows server with SM1.2.1-dev

and join via lobby

[Inker]

ahh, I very well may have. I'll test it without the lobby later this evening
