It can work with stripper too

This supports all/custom maps, having to specify a "targetname" makes it map specific and not work for all when named differently. Also your example is invalid due to missing : separators in the strings.

This plugin does not work for me in this specific case:
- join right after restart the server
- default map is c8m1_apartment (L4D2).

in The Sacriffice, not skip the black screen in the intro for a few seconds.

found that some env_fade entities causes the black screen, use this on stripper to remove it:

Spoiler

PHP Code:

; Removes black screen
filter:
{
    "classname" "env_fade"
} 


Didn't test in all maps, may bug something on custom ones maybe.

Or in the Sacrifice map specific

Spoiler

PHP Code:

filter:
;black screen when map start
{
"targetname" "fade_outro_1"
}
;black screen after the train stops
{
"targetname" "fade_outro_4"
}

	int entity = FindEntityByClassname(-1, "info_director"); // Every map should have a director, so not checking if invalid.

Not really..

Info (map "uz_escape")
[SM] Exception reported: Entity -1 (-1) is invalid
[SM] Blaming: l4d_skip_intro.smx
Call stack trace:
   [0] GetEntPropString
   [1] Line 101, l4d_skip_intro.sp::TimerStart

uz_escape is a map of "Undead Zone" custom campaign

You're using old code (1.0 or 1.1?), this was already updated and accounted for.

Can update the plugin to skip the cinematic of the 1st map of The Last Stand ?
