Hey there, so sorry if this has been asked over and over - I find the search on AM hard to find things.
I'm trying to create a basic 8 player server with spec slots. I don't want superversus or anything like that - really just the ability to have spec slots. I've tried L4DToolz and it unfortunately breaks my server - just what the current recommended set up is for an 16 player server with 8 spec slots.
I've managed to get other functionality working with plugins, including spectate plugin, etc. But the actual functionality of hosting more than 8 slots for spec slots seems to be extremely difficult for me with the plugins I've tried.
Any help appreciated - really hope I can just smack my head on the desk after replies show what a noob I am.
Chad
