    Your code seems to suggest that clients are downloading files which in L4D2's case, will just result in users seeing a black screen on loading. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    sv_allowupload "1"
    sm_cvar sv_allowdownload "1"
    sv_hosting_lobby "1"
    sv_allow_lobby_connect_only "1"
    sv_downloadurl "http://YOURPUBLICIPHEREORT/HFS_SERVER/left4dead2/"

    After the server adds this code, the client will download the missing MOD by itself?
    If this is the case, I have IIS server directly replace the domain name in the code, whether the client can automatically download it?

    L4D2 does not support downloading of custom content from server to client. Or rather, clients will download the files but will get stuck on the loading screen. Many plugins have tried to remedy this to no avail.

    This plugin is the same as all the others.

    "After the server adds this code, the client will download the missing MOD by itself?"

    No, just follow that tutorial.

    If you already have your FastDL server working and all, you can use it. Just place the "HFS_SERVER" at the root.
    But, using HFS ppl didn't get that black screen.

    Hello, you could add different tank announcer like:

    PrintToChatAll("Tank SPONGEBOBTANK spawned.");
    PrintToChatAll("Tank NIGHTTANK spawned.");
    PrintToChatAll("Tank HALOTANK spawned.");
    PrintToChatAll("Tank SIAMTANK spawned.");
    PrintToChatAll("Tank BRUTILDA spawned.");
    PrintToChatAll("Tank TEDDYTANK spawned.");

    Yah clauker is right...if u lookup l4d2 black screen fix here on allied modders i posted 4 or so years ago, theres a detailed guide to fixing the black screen. Only a handful of people ever got it working right though, including myself.

    If I remember correctly, it will fuck anyone who has custom content disabled in game settings (connection stuck forever). Sometimes it will even fuck those who allow custom content.

    If you opened up the console window, you would see that it was trying to download the file but 10-15 min later, it hadn't gotten anywhere. (a simple 1kb .txt file).

    yah thats the default behavior of the broken downloads table for l4d...does it still do this now even with this setup? It could be the specific fast download server people are using or whether or not there using bz2 compression(l4d2 supports this) for the files there uploading maybe, i dont know to be honest...Its been so many years since i messed with the downloads table. I never had issues with custom content being disabled/enable on clients(results may vary though). So many modded servers have other stuff going on, there's no telling what may effect it. Better to set this up on the cleanest server possible. Set it up and make sure the files are actually downloading to clients and go from there. It does work, just a pain to setup for some.
