I uploaded correct version.
L4D2 Linux is working.
Your report saying that restart command is passed.

Must've been something on my end. It's working as intended

Hi Dragokas, I found a problem where the plugin will force the server to restart to an official map if players are trying to launch a custom map from the lobby using a Steam group server.

What will happen is:

1. Players select a custom map and select a Steam group server
2. They launch the game - server starts loading the map
3. Then the server will restart mid loading and the players are kicked to an official map (or whatever is defined in the map rotation for when server restarts).

I increased

sm_restart_empty_delay

to 60 thinking it's because the plugin thinks nobody is in the server on map switch (because my old value was 10s) but that doesn't help. Disabling your plugin fixes this issue and I had to revert to an older version of this plugin to get the restart to work properly.

Not sure if this is related but my old config CVAR for this one read 0 and didn't give me any issues.

sm_restart_empty_server_start_changemap "0"

Thank for report.
The issue is quite complicated. I don't want to try fix making possible even more bugs.
Maybe somebody other can help...

_restart command does not work for left 4 dead 2, the server stay offline whatever if method is 1 or 2.

As said on another similar plugin page : "Other games can use the server command "_restart" to restart their game engine but it doesn't work on L4D2, so that's why we set up the configuration in this way and added the option for a hard restart."

[Dragokas]

Thanks for report. But, in case nothing help, what can I do?

The only way left (for VPS/VDS only) - to make windows batch / linux shell script to restart server when let's say some file appearing in some folder which could be created by SM plugin.

JLmelenchon, just checked "crash" command on my fully updated L4D2 Linux server, and it is still working.
Also, current version of this plugin correctly restart server there.

My config:

Left 4 Dead 2 build 8554968
Linux Debian
LinuxGSM installation script
MetaMod v1.11.0.1148
SourceMod v1.11.0.6906

server.cfg

sm_cvar sv_hibernate_when_empty "0"
sm_cvar sb_all_bot_game 1
sm_cvar allow_all_bot_survivor_team 1
