[L4D2] Allow matchmaking on 8+ players server after server is unreserved

Busrodah · **Author**

Hello everyone,

Currently I'm hosting a 8+ player server and I am using [L4D(2)] Remove Lobby Reservation (When Full)
to allow more players to connect after 4 players has joined.

Players 1-4 are able to join the server through lobby or quick match but players 5 and onward can only join the server through Steam Group or direct IP connection.

I have attempted to search the forum for a plugin or configuration that allows quick play matchmaking for the 5th player onward but apparently there's no solution to this.

But recently I joined a quick play match myself and I was connected to a China based server with more than 6 players (which made me the 7th player). I tried to peek at the plugins list but I'm not seeing any plugins that allows 8+ matchmaking.

Below are the plugins list I managed to view from the in-game console:

Does anyone know if any of this plugin allows quick match with 4+ players? Some of the seemed custom made or not released on this forum and trying to Google them leads me to no search results or a chinese website which is hard to navigate.

Matchmaking is not handled server side. Luckily there is lobby mods that actually allow you to have 8 players through it.
