What is the reason for this: After installing most recent version from l4dt/SV/Scores for l4d2 on a windows srcds, I see 0/8 in steam group browser, but 0/16 in openserverbrowser?

l4dt settings: l4d_maxplayers 16 (I have 16 slots at my hoster)
sv settings:
l4d_survivor_limit 8
l4d_infected_limit 8
l4d_supertank 1
l4d_tank_hpmulti 0.25
l4d_XtraHP 1
l4d_killreservation 0

When I use l4dtoolz instead, with SV, I see "0/16" also in steam group browser.

sv_visiblemaxplayers 16

I'm not running a L4D2 dedicated server. I'm using the "exec server" method to launch my server.cfg file. I have the following lines in server.cfg:

PHP Code:
sv_maxplayers 8
l4d_maxplayers 8
l4d_survivor_limit 8
l4d_infected_limit 0
l4d_killreservation 1 
All I've done so far is install Left 4 Downtown, and literally have done nothing else. No modification of any other config files and no other plugins (other than the default set provided by sourcemod), as far as I'm aware. But I'm seeing 4 players as the capped limit for human players still. Any ideas?

Sorry if there were some other steps involved that seem too obvious to overlook, but I'm new to this and have no idea what "cvars" are or where to look to modify certain values, so I'm assuming it all comes from settings mentioned in server.cfg.

My final goal is to get a 10-player coop going, with all bots automatically spawned and ready so people can join and take control of a bot right away.

Well...as far as I understand it you need 2 plugins. 1 to unlock the additional slots AND 1 to make USE of them. So either you use MM Plugin "L4DToolz" + "Superversus", or SM extension "L4DT" + "Superversus". A single one alone does not work. I use Toolz + SV.
Using l4dt/sv/l4d2scores provides you the unscrambler and fixed specmode after map transition, but wrong max player count in steam group browser.
Using l4dtoolz/sv does not unscramble but shows correct player count.

I am having issues aswell, ALL my mods are updated to date. I am using Super Versus, I have...

PHP Code:
l4d_maxplayers 16
l4d_infected_limit 8
l4d_survivos_limit 8
l4d_killreservation 1 
It shows x/16 in the browser, x/8 on the "friends games list" or "group list", it says it's full if another person tries to join when it has 8, and this sometimes drops through the console.

[LEFT4DOWNTOWN] L4D_LobbyIsReserved() has been called. It is deprecated in L4D2, consider updating the plugin using this native.

I have tried with both sourcemod 1.3 and 1.4.

When ingame, you end up with 8 survivors, x players on it, the rest bots, and x infected.

Why...?

To be clear, I about my post above, I did a check typed l4d_maxplayers in, and it returned 16, so the var is set, it just doesn't...work.

EDIT: Also, I have an sv_search_key, and go from the lobby to the game to get it to load versus mode instead of campaign....and because it's easier for my friends.

EDIT2: Ok, I can now have more players BUT, only if they connect by ip, that's the only way, and that makes it impossible to get the public to join =/

I am also looking for this set up but using a dedicated server for L4D2 - I have left4downtown and superversus in the correct server folders.

I use HLSW to control the server and this shows 0/8 or 0/whatever I set the L4D_Maxplayers line to in the server.cfg. The problem is that when I join the game, only the original 4 players (myself and the 3 bots)are visible.

I will try adding the lines above and testing this but I would also like the spare bots to 'appear' at the start of the game rather than having to create them through the console at the start of every level.

Are there are any BASIC tutorials for this because I am a noob at this but am able to install ready made plug ins and change code in the cfg file. Apologies if this has been explained elsewhere but I can't find it spelt out in laymans terms.

Thanks in advance.

Super Versus should take care of spawning any extra bots, this extension just lets more players connect to the server.

Use a kill reservation plugin, Super Versus comes with it.

I am using super versus, I also double checked and l4d_killreservation is most definatly 1. I CAN get up to 8 players per team, but a maximum of 8 players total unless people connect by ip. Even an invite will return that the server is full.

I am a whisker away from achieving my goal of having a 5-6 player co-op server.
I have downloaded Sourcemod and MetaMod.
I have downloaded Left4downtown and Superversus to the correct server folders. (as discussed here http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=92713)

I have set the following lines in my server.cfg

// Allowing more than 4 survivors
sv_maxplayers 5
l4d_maxplayers 5
l4d_survivor_limit 5
l4d_infected_limit 0
l4d_killreservation 1
sv_visiblemaxplayers -1
l4d_XtraHP 1

Now - 5 survivors show which is what I was after. Unfortunately, only 4 people can join the game, leaving a spare bot.

I have tried joining via HLSW when the game has 4/5 players but it gives me the "All slots are full" message.
I have also tried "Connect XX.XXX.XXX.XXX:27XXX" command from the in game console but this doesn't work either.

I am so near to cracking this that it would be great if someone knew what I was missing. Can anyone let me know what it is?
