Does this plugin depend on another to work?

The plugin works fine, two possible reasons:

1. There is an issue with your server and saving to a config, maybe file or folder permissions, I don't know why some servers have these issues and I don't know how they get resolved.

2. Verify the config has been created and has data inside. If it does then maybe you have the cvar settings wrong, for example what is the value of this cvar:

PHP Code:

// -1=All, 0=None. Otherwise randomly select this many vendors to spawn from the maps config.
l4d_vendor_random "-1"

I have it configured like this in the source code

PHP Code:

"l4d_vendor_temp",                 "25",       "-1=Add temporary health, 0=Add to normal health. Values between 1 and 100 creates a chance to give normal health.", CVAR_FLAGS );

This is what is saved in data/l4d_vendor.cfg
And my question is, what value should the l4d_vendor_random convar have? I manually add the vendors and I want it to be saved there and not moved.

"vendors"
{
	"c5m1_waterfront"
	{
		"num"		"2"
		"1"
		{
			"type"		"4"
			"angle"		"0.000000 90.000000 0.000000"
			"origin"		"-1651.544556 -1990.356323 -374.968750"
		}
		"2"
		{
			"type"		"3"
			"angle"		"0.000002 180.000000 0.000000"
			"origin"		"-3215.591797 -1124.890259 -318.670959"
		}
	}
	"c7m3_port"
	{
		"num"		"1"
		"1"
		{
			"type"		"4"
			"angle"		"0.000000 360.000000 0.000000"
			"origin"		"483.893188 -314.127808 160.031250"
		}
	}
	"c8m1_apartment"
	{
		"num"		"1"
		"1"
		{
			"type"		"4"
			"angle"		"0.000000 360.000000 0.000000"
			"origin"		"1894.329834 1370.929932 432.031250"
		}
	}
}

Last question, how many vendors can I put for each campaign chapter?
In the publication it says "32 Vendors" but it does not specify if it is per campaign chapter or the maximum number that can be had in data/l4d_vendor.cfg

If you have to modify cvars in the source for the values to stick, you need Command Buffer Overflow Fixer plugin, it's in my signature.

All my spawner plugins that limit number of spawns, e.g. 32 max, means per map. Not total in config.

When you say manually save, you mean using the sm_vendorsave command?

I have no idea why it's not working for you, I don't have time to test your config, but it looks fine.

Do you use any other spawner plugins of mine and do they save/load?

If you figure out what's wrong, reply back and let us know.
