hey this is my first time owning a server. it just happens to be l4d2, im having a hard time getting my server to be an 8 man co-op, been trying everything from l4dtoolz and so on.. i cant seem to do it. now when in game it says its 4/8 but when someone tries to join they cant seem to get in.

server.cfg

// You should change these
hostname "---------"
rcon_password "-------"

// This states how players should contact you. Use your email or website
sv_contact "--------"

// If you want to use a search key to find the server in the lobby, uncomment and edit this line
sv_search_key "-------"

// If you want to use this as a steam group server, uncomment this and add your group ID
sv_steamgroup "--------"
// If you want to restrict this to steam group members only, uncomment this
//sv_steamgroup_exclusive 1

// You shouldn't need to change anything below this in most cases
sv_alltalk 0
// If you enable cheats, people will be able to take over your server
sv_cheats 1
sv_consistency 1
sv_maxcmdrate 101
sv_maxrate 30000
sv_unlockgamemode 1
sv_maxslots 8
sv_gametypes "coop"

sv_maxplayers 8
sv_force_unreserved 1
sv_removehumanlimit 1
sv_unlock_sb_add 1
sm_cvar z_max_player_zombies 4
sm_cvar sv_force_normal_respawn 0
sm_cvar survivor_limit 8

chances are im probably not doing any of this right.. if someone could help me out that would be wicked awesome. BTW i have dl'd all the newer plugins and so on so its all up to date.

cheers to anyone that can help me out.

Hero.

you might want to add sm_cvar in front of all the cvars that has sv_* so you dont need to have sv_cheats 1.

It also seems like you dont turn sv_cheats back to 0, so there are a lot of exploits that people can use.

thank you for the reply.. i did what you said to do, and it still not working. i dont understand why it said the game can have 8 ppl in it but when someone tries to join threw the ip or by right clicking on my name in steam it still gives them the not enuff slots blah blah blah...

i wonder if someone could maybe pass me some links or some kinda guide..

clearly there is a way of getting 8 ppl in a campaign...i played in a server for at least 4 month and its what they ran all the time.i would ask them but the person that was the op shut the server down and hasnt been around.

neways thanks again modders. hopefully hear back soon.

are you sure that you are using last version of l4dtoolz and last gamedata file

Ive been running bebop and l4dtoolz on window dedicated and it works but I was trying last weekend to make one of my linux servers work and was having issues. I tried everything that I can think of too. Downtown
2,unreserve slots. It showed 8 player in hlsw and groups but would not allow to go beyond 4 player max. Windows dedicated was pretty easy to do though. I read through all the threads for extending slot to 8 myself and tried many of the gamedata files. Anyone have a working Linux cfg?

What I use is SuperVersus, and L4DToolz. There are various L4DToolz, but make sure you are using the L4D2 version (http://forums.alliedmods.net/showpos...&postcount=510)

When you have both of them, set in super versus (l4d_superversus.cfg) l4d_survivor_limit 8 (which makes 8 bots at start) and sv_maxplayers 8 in server.cfg. I don't use Left 4 Downtown

After all this, I suggest you use https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=118723 (Defib Bug Fix) so when you defib someone, it won't bug and re-revive a currently-alive player

mmsource-1.8.4-hg736-windows.zip <-- the latest vision right?

if so i have it installed on the server.. the admin menu and every other plugin
is working fine. the extra 4 slots is the problem im having.

i have this installed --> l4dtoolz(L4D2)-1.0.0.10RC3.zip
or should i install this --> l4dtoolz(L4D2)-1.0.0.10RC3 Debug.zip (not installed)
(i wasn't to sure what one to use,this is my first time running a server.im suprized
i even have half the stuff working right.)

and im defiantly going to use the defib bug fix.. i was wondering if there
was a fix for that, the one server i use to play in had problems with it.

thanks for the help so far,

Hero.

The Debug version should be for just developers only, so use the other one. The versions that should be currently used should be downloaded from the main Metamod:Source and SourceMod pages, including the metamod.vdf

Super versus was the only thing I didn't try for linux. Windows will work with bebop and l4dtoolz. I guess I can try that for linux. Thx.

[HeroHero]

am i still doing something wrong? i have l4dtoolz for l4d2 installed on the server.
im trying to run an 8 man co-op server.. now its saying there is 8 slots still but it still will not open up for me.

this is what i have in my server.cfg

sv_cheats 0
sv_consistency 1
sv_maxcmdrate 101
sv_maxrate 30000
sv_visiblemaxplayers -1
sv_maxplayers 8
sv_removehumanlimit 1
sv_unlock_sb_add 1
sv_force_unreserved 1
sv_maxslots 8

i wish this was easy but for some damn reason i cant get it to work. if there is anyone out there thats running an 8 man co-op please fill me in on how your got it to work please. ive been going for days trying to get it to work.. up and down the l4dtoolz thread and cant find out why..
