L4D1 Beta: "Solo Mode" Recreation

Description
What is Solo Mode?
"director_solo_mode" is a hidden cvar in L4D1 that completely changes the way the director works. It handles everything very different (even SI spawns), this mode is so old that it even attempts to use the HL2 save system. Yes this is beta.

What's the main attraction here?
In Solo Mode, if one survivor dies, everyone fails and should start from the first map of the campaign.

What is this mod?
This mutation aims to try and replicate this hidden mode and port it over to L4D2.

This mutation is intended to be played on five chapter campaigns, I did add compatibilty to less or more chapter campaigns though.

This mutation is better played with a full lobby
8 players "lobby" version here.

Well, the solomode certainly isn't meant to be played with more than one human player lol, hence the name.

that may be true, who knows lol

Ironically I don't think the chapter restart when a player dies is a "feature" of solo mode necessarily, considering the name of the mode implies an obvious single player aspect, I believe the restart is simply a fail safe due to the strange bot SI shuffling the director does, otherwise you could get soft locked if you died and the director had SI in queue to drop in.
That would of course be if the game didn't just crash before that could ever happen.

You are right, the solution is not failing

Sorry but sv_permawipe kicks you back to the mainmenu

the game should kick you back to the lobby after failing, that's a cvar called sv_permawipe or something
