greetings
recently ive had troubles hosting my l4d2 server because sourcemod plugin basecommands.smx prevents gas cans from spawning and defaults goal to 16 on scavenge maps such as no mercy rooftop .
console output

SCRIPT PERF WARNING --- "ScriptMode_Init" ran long at 2.115563ms
Initializing Director's script
Couldn't find any entities named gascan_scavenge, which point_template template_scavenge_items is specifying.

plugins shouldnt be intervening as i tested with basecommands.smx only and the issue persists

[dov]

update
the gas cans spawn normally when restarting map via vote

[Marttt]

doesn't make much sense to be basecommands looks like a false positive for me
you should share your sm plugins list instead

[dov]

as I stated before , this happens even when the only plugin running is basecommands :

I can not test and confirm this problem. OS is Windows?

But, you are using Metamod:Source version 2.0.0-dev+1280
- Does it help if you upgrade to stable 1.11 ?
https://www.sourcemm.net/downloads.php/?branch=stable


Also, If you are willing to try, older basecommands plugin:
https://www.sourcemod.net/downloads....1.11-dev&all=1

Go way down SM list, so you see Build 6487.
Download zip pack, but take only compiled basecommands plugin, smx
in you server, nothing else.
This skip two last changes made in plugin past 4 years.
- Does it make any difference ?


Basecommands plugin does "ParseConfigs()" on map start,
it update config files list in admin menu, "configs/adminmenu_cfgs.txt"
It also update admin menu map list "Choose Map"
...dunno, does this part have conflict with l4d script files.

i think the problem is tied with extensions , gonna do some testing and report back

[Marttt]

Is dedicated or local/listen server? may be some addon conflict too (.vpk / workshop)

[dov]

selfhosted dedicated server

[Forgetest]

The actual cause for no cans is that director is unaware of level change via any other way than vote/transition.

1. Try replacing every "changelevel" action with the custom native/command from:
https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=2669850

2. Or you could try installing this (not carefully tested):
