[Dont Fear The Reaper]

German translation for those who want it.

[id5473]

The plugin works from what I can tell but it seems to revert to it's default config after the first mapchange, ignoring everything which has been defined in the cfg.

scenario: I can play the first map of any campaign with it behaving like it should.
but after the second map has loaded it just seems to ignore the cfg file. (in my case it starts printing the advertisement again and incapped players are getting flared which should not happen according to my cfg)

that's my cfg file:

source mod doesn't log any error nor can i find anything related in the serverlogs.

is anyone else experiencing this?

For the millionth time, this is because you have too many cvars and cvar configs. I'm no longer going to search and paste links for people, go search yourself. This is related to have too many cvar/cvar configs, not the plugin.

[Emcitement]

Massive necro (but most l4d2 threads seem to be abandoned anyway) but is there anyway to get this plugin working?

On sourcemod 1.6. Commands don't work and a config file isn't even generated.

[StarWeaver]

Works fine for me; though occasionally flares don't work on the very first map the server ever activly runs for some reason. Is it showing in sm plugins list?

[LoneBat]

It does not work for me.

[Munch]

Try Silvers other similar plugin Flashlight
The are unfortunately issues with some maps. (fortunately very few maps are effected) In the case of the map Questionable Ethics the flashlight model is replaced with a pane of glass on part 2 or 3 of the map. There are others but cant think off top of my head what they are.

[Silvers]

It's still working for me, SourceMod 1.7, as mentioned above some maps it may not work on.

[Silvers]

Updated.

- Fix to prevent garbage being passed into SetVariantString, as suggested by "KyleS".

[gongo]

If the plugin doesn't work for you on the very first play after server start, disable server hibernation by putting:

+sv_hibernate_when_empty 0

into srcds.exe shortcut's target line. At least that's what fixed it for me.

Silvers discovered the solution.
