[Mr. Man]

Any updates on the survival mode implementation I talked about earlier? Also reporting a bug: some campaign finale maps aren't triggering the mapvote function. Happens with custom campaigns.

Yes, I have already noticed this problem. This problem exists in both my version and ChrisP's original version. Looks like the game event is not being handled properly. Players can still use "!mapvote" and "!mapvotes". I'm trying to fix it.

Thank you so much for your hard work and for sharing this with us.

It is extraordinary how easy it will be to add custom maps without having to add .sp.

And also the possibility of translation.

Very, very, very, thanks.

[Mi.Cura]

I tested, It's working very well, thanks for that.

Just as notice:

1) There is some reason for system to read the vpk file from the catch campaigns:
"Name" "rkls"

It is possible for the system to read to capture the name:
* "DisplayTitle" "Roadkill"

2) It is normal for some campaigns not to be added?
For example: Campaign - 25toLife

But this very, just a few campaigns have not been added, I have 70 custom maps, and only 3 have not been added.

Even so, your work is very good. thank you for that.

It will save a lot of work, I no longer need to edit the .SP, and now with admin menu to change the maps it was great.

I'm thinking about adding a function which appends the human-readable name of new added maps to the localization file. (By reading VPK files)
Some maps have a malformed mission info file, so you have fix them manually. (in the missions.cache folder)
Depends on the location of syntax error, a part of the file (some maps for some modes) are loaded.
The server console will display the file name if it encounters problem while parsing it. Also, try typing "sm_lmm_list invalid" in the server console, this command gives you all malformed mission info files.

L 09/14/2018 - 13:06:18: [acs.smx] Mission "BPWaterfrontR2" (Gamemode: coop) is not in the mission cache or no longer exists!

So the plugin work great for official map. But somehow it didn't detect any workshop map even though i have one. And i even add in the misson text to the mission.cache folder and i even put the mission name into missioncycle.coop.txt manually but still it give me that error. Appreciate any one know how to fix this.

Are you running a dedicated server?
Are you running any version of Linux?

On Linux, make sure that the mission.cache folder is writable by the srcds process, try "chmod 777 <yourpath>/left4dead2/mission.cache"

What is the content of the corresponding file in your "mission.cache" folder? Check its syntax (e.g. { and } are matched, map index starts with "1", e.t.c), or upload it so that I can have a look.

Also try "sm_lmm_list invalid" in the server console.

Confirmed, I inserted a PrintToChatAll() in the "player_left_start_area" event, sometimes when I leave the saferoom, nothing is printed, means that the event has not been fired by the game!
I decide to try another approach, when displaying the next map message, the plugin checks for finale map and show the menu to those players who havent seen the menu. So they will see the menu right after leaving the saferoom, or will see it after a few minutes.

For me in ACS i fixed it with this method

PHP Code:

/**
* Returns whether any survivor have left the safe area.
*
* @return               True if any survivor have left safe area, false
*                       otherwise.
*/
stock bool:L4D_HasAnySurvivorLeftSafeArea()
{
    new entity = L4D_GetResourceEntity();
 
    if (entity == -1)
    {
        return false;
    }
 
    return bool:GetEntProp(entity, Prop_Send, "m_hasAnySurvivorLeftSafeArea", 1);
}

/**
* Returns resource entity.
*
* @return               Entity index of resource entity, -1 if not found.
*/
stock L4D_GetResourceEntity()
{
    return FindEntityByClassname(-1, "terror_player_manager");
}

public Action:Timer_DisplayVoteAdToAll(Handle:timer, any:data)
{
    if(!L4D_HasAnySurvivorLeftSafeArea())
        return Plugin_Continue;

        //run code below

I did not run dedicated server nor any version of linux. Just hosting local server.
