Not this.

• 1st play on server 2 rounds (maps)
• Go https://my.gameservers.com and click Console Log:
• copy and past this here

Important is part of code like this:

And be sure, you need to restart server after any plugin installation.

EDIT: Just noticed your new post, will go play two rounds and see


The only log file I could find anywhere was "gsconsole.log" in my server's left4dead2 root folder. I don't really see any stats or smx error codes other than the invalid path for my databases.cfg file. The file is at "/left4dead2/left4dead2/addons/sourcemod/configs/" so not sure what path I should put in my server.cfg file to get that to work out right.

Here's the log stuff from that log file (again, not even sure if this is the right log file, but it's the only one I could find anywhere) ...

I left out a long list of "WARNING: Couldn't find any entities named fire_ballroom_10-sound, which ...." stuff it had in the log....

[tbird412]

OK, I'm getting somewhere now. And I am assuming it is because of the path of my databases.cfg in my server.cfg

Here's the error area from the new log (If you see XXXX it is just me editing out my info for public) ...

EDIT: Could I maybe just move my databases.cfg file into the root directory or wherever it looks when you do an "exec" command without a path?

Yes databases.cfg path is bad.

Move this file (databases.cfg) to left4dead2/cfg/ directiory, and in config just

exec databases.cfg

should be ok.

You are the best! It works fine now!

Now if only I could get the stupid sv_search_key to work. But beggers can't be choosers. I can't thank you enough. My host was willing to just give up my business to avoid even trying to solve the problem. And you did it for free. Thanks a bunch!

LOL - of course you can donate our server! (joking)

Same problem was here, enjoy. Im not using sv_search_key. Just in game (lobby) set group server - not best or dedicater and select your server from list. If is online, should be on list.

Is the createtables.php included in the zip file? I can't seem to find it.

Yeah, there´s still some cleaning up to do.

One quick sort of off topic question (though it was brought to my attention from reading the instructions for this mod) ... How do you get flagged with the admin flag to your server or whatever? I know how to use RCON from within the game. Booting or kicking etc. That works fine for me. But what is this admin root flag thing and how do I do that to myself so I can use some of these SM_ admin commands?
