There's a tutorial somewhere in the Steam Discussions for L4D2 that teaches users how to revert their game to the Pre-Last Stand version, mainly for people who dislike the update. That's probably what he is using.

Must be visual only. Last I checked the data tables would need to be modified to revert back to old server engine.

"L4D2_OnFindScavengeItem" has trouble picking up dropped medkits and defibs, is it possible to fix this?

that means that the game data ForceNextStage needs to be updated

"L4D_OnGetSurvivorSet" and "L4D_OnFastGetSurvivorSet" seem to be always returning 0 on both l4d2 and l4d1 maps.

Cuz this plugin is getting the return value in a pre hook instead of a post one. It's stated in the DHooks' include that it is only readable in post hooks.

Yeah im green when it comes to signatures. Hopefully someone can grab it because its causing left4dhooks to crash on mapchange for me.

Those forwards are just for overriding the return value. You would need a post hook detour (like cravenge stated) or a native to retrieve the original value.

I am also getting this same error. I suspect the L4D2 update on 01-Dec-2020 (Build 5902569) did something to break the ForceNextStage entry in the left4dhooks.l4d2.txt file, but I don't know how to fix, and it appears this file has not been updated since 26-Sep-2020.

Could someone please explain how to fix the gamedata entry, or post the fix?

If it helps, here is the current (broken?) entry...
