Would like some help with Sourcemod
I would love if someone could walk me through getting sourcemod to work for single player. I put the sourcemod and meta mod folders in my l4d2 folder, put my plugins in the correct place (or so I believe) but I can't get anything working. My teammates (AI) won't pickup any moltovs or anything. Is there something I'm missing to use the gear transfer plugin for solo? Thanks :)

Did everything everyone said but it's still not working. Guess I'll just give up at this point.
Hi mate, did you create a metamod.vdf and place it in your addons folder? Make sure to create one from here http://metamodsource.net/vdf and not use the one you get with metamod.zip folder, choose game "Left 4 Dead 2" from the drop down list then click Generate metamod.vdf.

When you start the game for the first time, writing "sm" will give you unknown command in console because Sourcemod requires a map to load first for it to load as well, writing "meta" however should return "You must change the map to activate Metamod:Source.", this means you have installed metamod and sourcemod correctly, load up singleplayer or a map and you should have both of them loaded and working.

Mine work on my side, you need to make sure you have the latest version of sm and MM and the current plugin as well.

Also check in cfg/sourcemod you can config your plug-in and there ans make sure the thing you want to be done are enabled.

I'm unsure of using it this way, but I think someone mentioned needing "-insecure" in launch options when starting the game. Officially though, sm is not supported in this way.

sourcemod/metamod folders go in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\addons" and u need -insecure entered in your launch options via game properties make sure latest sm version that is updated to support new l4d2 and open your dev console in game then type "sm" to see if sourcemod is loaded

I put the sourcemod/metamod folders in that location (where the workshop folder also is) inside the addons folder. I put -insecure in my launch options through Steam.

When I load the game and open the dev console and type "sm" it says "unknown command" and when I load into a single player survival game nothing is working.

Does it have to be a LAN server for sm to work? Thanks :)

edit: I downloaded sourcemod directly from their website, with the Windows icon, so it should be the lastest update?

I'm pretty sure I did that but I'll double check, I tried reinstalling it a couple of times.
