How to use cheats in multiplayer

[tools guy-kun]

Me and a friend play l4d2 in a private match, and we want to use cheats sometimes, but since valve has disabled that ability to use cheats on servers with console, is there anyway we can bypass that disability? Also, how can i use cheats in multiplayer survival?

===UPDATE====
Wow i actually forgot i had this thread up anyways i found a solution.
* WHAT YOU NEED TO DO THIS IS A PROGRAM CALLED HAMACHI * <hamachi is a free program, so if you paid for it, you got scammed> what you do is to open console and make a listen server with the whole map c#_whatever map, then your friend has to type "connect <your hamachi ip>, and thats it. Thanks guys

First you have to go into the developer console and type in the map name like so:

"map c1m4_atrium" that's just a map I chose randomly.

Then click sumbit and wait for it to load the map, Once it's loaded go into the developer console again and type "sv_cheats 1" and you're good to go.

Here's for if you want to host one online:

1. Open a Local Hosted Multiplayer campaign game.

2. Write "Sv_pure 1" In console.

3. Write Map Mapname * It gets you back in main menu *

4. Write Map Mapname MODE; So you Join any map on any mode.

5. Find your LOCAL IP, Which you can find on ip Chicken

6 Tell any friends to write CONNECT YOUR IP; to connect your game.

7. Use "SV_CHEATS 1", And any other commands as you want.

NOTE: Your friends can also use the commands, They have to write it in their console though.

I hope that helped and you can't do it on a server that's not yours.

Thank you very much kind sir, i will try your method to test it out, and maybe you can try it with me, because my friend is barely online during school weeks, so if you want to, you can add me then we can test it out for a few minutes! Reason why i said minutes is because i got hw and history project so GOTTA RUN!! Anyways thanks and stay cool. :)

All that effort put into cheating in the game? WOW! If you put half the effort into learning how to get good at the game as you do at trying to cheat...well...you wouldn't need to cheat.

I seem to forgot to mention, we would only use cheats to have fun and mess around with the codes. And it would be just us, so thanks for the fact, kid. Plus, i did mention that it would be a private match. And besides, if you are not any help, which you arent, then dont reply on here at all. This topic is for help on setting up a cheat server. Same goes for sarahd90.

I tried it with my friend, and it didnt work.

I actually found a solution, damn this thread is old. WHAT YOU NEED TO DO THIS IS A PROGRAM CALLED HAMACHI, what you do is to open console and make a listen server with the whole map c#_whatever map, then your friend has to type "connect <your hamachi ip>, and thats it. Thanks guys

I would just like to say. This is pretty ignorant and definitely assuming too much. I would definitely view myself as an above average player, not the best, but no where near the worst. And I've been looking for a way to do this very thing not to "cheat" but to practice. Maybe I want to spawn 10 hunters and practice dodging and dead stopping. Maybe I want to spawn a charger and practice leveling. Etc etc etc. The point being, to assume wanting to enable cheats means they only want to cheat and beat the game is pathetic. Maybe try exploring all options or even asking a question before posting something nothing related to a forum post and belittling someone. Yes I realize I did that to you in my post but that is the point. Good day!

Although this may be true for some computers, this is pretty vague and poorly thought out. Hamachi makes the computer run slower is like saying skype makes the computer run slower, or running a virus scan makes the computer run slower. If you're trying to host a game A your computer should be good enough to support 1 running the game as intended and 2 communicating with another computer. If either of those statements are false, give up now and buy a better computer. And Evolve does the same thing, but it also has a chat feature so you can talk with your party.

Hey professor, how about checking the freshness date of a post before you start your sermon on the virtues of cheating. FiretrUCKING LOSER.

^this is the creators guide to all the possible commands too.

I found out that theres a hidden cheat command on sv_cheats 1 called "respawn_all". "respawn_all" is a command that revives all your dead survivors back to the start of the game, including you. I'm not sure if it still works on l4d1 or l4d2 because I dont play single-player anymore. Oh and btw how did I found this command? I found this command to see if theres a cheat code where I can respawn my dead survivors. So I tried some commands such as "respawn_survivors" but it didnt work so I typed "respawn_all" instead. And theres also a command call "revive_all" and "revive". The first command revives everyone that is incap and the second command revives YOU.
