@¤ gσℓ∂нσυη∂ ¤ yeah i got it to work. just when there's 12 of us the game spawns lots of lots zombies and causes the game fps to drop bad lol but other than that its good

is it possible to kick one of the added bots without them instantly being added back into the game? I tried doing it a few moments ago and it just crashed my game, for example I want to kick Bill and keep Zoey, Louis & Francis for the campaign, is that possible?

@JosuePlays, It is possible! Simply create a campaign lobby and invite them through Steam. This method works for up to 4 players by default. Make sure you have the correct tweaks in your CFG's to increase the player limit. No dedicated server is required for basic P2P play. If you're hosting locally (not on a dedicated server), the maximum supported player count is typically 8.

@ciberkid22, The version included in the ZIP is outdated; it's recommended to use the latest stable builds of Sourcemod and Metamod. Signature-related errors (such as those from CSM) can occur when plugins depend on memory addresses that change between game or Sourcemod updates. Updating the plugin’s gamedata files to match your current setup should resolve these issues. Plugin functionality should be restored after you update the versions!

is it possible to play with friends with this, if I host via my peer to peer connection?

Hello! It's my first foray into Sourcemod so I'm still learning a lot about it, but it seems like the version in the archive is outdated?

I've noticed that after installing everything from it, I get the regular "-insecure" warning and sourcemod doesn't work. However, after installing a clean sourcemod/metamod from their website (Latest version 1.12 build 7209), I get the "/bin/server" warning like in the video, and sourcemod works after loading a game! The plugins after merging the addon and cfg directories work for the most part as well, but I assume the csm signature error I get is from changing sourcemod versions.

¤ gσℓ∂нσυη∂ ¤, to put it shortly, here's how it usually goes:

(this is with the 8-people mod on)
1. start a campaign
2. campaign starts, activate spectator mode
3. watch survivors go through a chapter and finish it
4. next chapter loading
5. next chapter loads
6. spectator mode stays on briefly...
7. ...then immediately changes to the "Press MOUSE to play as [Character]"
8. i take control of a survivor, and reactivate the spectator mode again

numbers 7-8 are the ones i wanted to avoid. i want it so that by the time the next chapter starts, the spectator mode stays on forever and not change to the "Press MOUSE" screen. because the "Press MOUSE" screen means i have been automatically reassigned to the survivor team. and i don't want that, i just (again) wanna be a neutral observer by staying on spectator mode the entire time.

@¤ gσℓ∂нσυη∂ ¤, thank you. but i'm sorry, it's still not working. 😭

by the way, you were asking me if my question was related to the mod or just general stuff i want fixed, right? well, it's kind of the former. in a normal 4-people gameplay, if i put on spectator mode, it will stay like that throughout the whole campaign. i get to be a neutral observer, just watching the survivors progress through the chapters. but with the 8-people mod on, that's not always the case. when on spectator mode, after the survivors finish a chapter and the next chapter starts, the spectator mode stays for a few seconds before changing to the "Press MOUSE to play as [Character]" screen. this means i have to take control of a survivor and manually put on the spectator mode again. this goes on for every new chapter. that's what i'm trying to avoid, i just wanna be completely locked in as a spectator without having to take control over any survivor just to put on spectator again. 🥲

@Tuna Sandwich, left4dead2>addons>sourcemod>plugins
Then extract/paste that smx. Into that folder

@Braverewe26, Please be aware of what mods you could be using behind the scenes

Lo intente de todas las maneras posibles y nunca se activo para poder jugar con mis amigos.

@¤ gσℓ∂нσυη∂ ¤, where do i apply the plugin after i've downloaded it?

Specifically when I play as bill probably the other left4dead 1 survivor too but I haven’t checked I just wanna play as bill

My game crashes very soon after I start campaign usually after I leave the “safe” area

Got it. Thanks a lot!

@John, go into your autoexec CFG file and change the line,

bind "=" "say /pickbot

,to whatever you want between those quotations. Then save.

Great mod! Please, I need to know how to change the button "=" to another one?

@Jeli, Grab this plugin; I'm assuming this is a afk bug: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=2714236

@Tuna Sandwich, for your first question, go to your files, redirect to left4dead2>addons>sourcemod>data. Now open into the CFG File named 'l4d_info_editor_mission', then delete the whole line where it says

"survivor_set" "2"

Hit save and You should be good after that change.

For question 2, I'm wondering if it's an issue you're trying to related here or just a general thing you want fixed. But just download this plugin for that "lock myself on spectator mode": https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=135658

The footstep sound addon you created is also really cool. It makes me feel like I'm wearing some serious military tactical gear. Amazing. Excellent work!

@Tuna Sandwich !afk in the chat

Without a doubt the best addon in history, I recommend it 1000/10🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

hey, i'm back. i got 2 questions:

1. the L4D2 survivors are always the main set of Survivors even in L4D1 campaigns. is it possible to change it so the L4D1 crew are the main ones in their respective campaigns?

2. for some reason, spectating doesn't go all the way through a campaign. if i start a campaign and put on spectate mode ("jointeam 1"), each time it gets to a new chapter, the spectating just... stops, and it automatically goes back to the "Press MOUSE to play as [Survivor]" screen, as if i joined the Survivor team ("jointeam 2"), even though i did no such thing. this means the game saw me as an IDLE Survivor instead of a spectator. i'm just wondering if it's possible to lock myself on spectator mode without having the game forcibly assigning me to the Survivor team for every chapter like that.

thank you very much. 🙏🏽

i cant get the dam file to open

I have a problem... there's instances where someone or I myself as the host will become spectator. I can join back with jointeam 2 but I'm dead when I do, and after a while I just become spectator again and jointeam 2 doesn't work anymore...

@⚝ Not really going to happen, if the static player is limited to 5 then the 5th player is just going to be random. Its never going to be Zoey alone unless you use a different plugin or method in adding just one player.

I meant changing bill to zoey for a 5 player lobby, sorry. should've been more specific

@⚝ you can change it in the config

cfg/sourcemod/l4d_superversus.cfg and find a line called

l4d_static_minimum_survivor "8"

change 8 to whatever number, maximum is 24


@awfuldown This is to compensate the number of survivors available. If there's low survivor count then the number of specials should tone down. You can counter this by using Competitive Bots from the workshop.

Does this addon also set the max special infected to 8; because I'm getting swamped by duo's of jockeys, hunters, and spitters.

Ain't complaining, just wondering.

is there a way to change the 5th survivor? Like is there anything I can do in the files to make it so that Zoey replaces Bill when I only want 5 survs

@Jhin Kazama Launch any map, then go back to the main menu and put this on console.

sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 0
sv_force_unreserved 1
sv_maxplayers 8

Hi, pal. I downloaded this mod a year ago and perfectly worked, but now I'm downloaded again and when I create a game, there's 8 survivors but survivors limit is 4 and the 5th player can't join. I need help with this

@Unicronus Anh Prime there's no fix for that, its been like that for a long time.

@Ark alongside the screenshots, first two are videos

Where is the instruction video?

how can I fix Zoey bot's gender identity in credit cuz she got identified as Himself instead of Herself

ok I just skipped them all and I've been playing fine but whenever people join, they dont fully join and get disconnected so idk if its me or them

I keep getting a bunch of interrupted actions when transferring the files, do I just skip them all?

@BallSmacker2000, In this case of the 8-player lobby, Yes, infected is simply the same as selecting random.

When i create a 8 players lobby, my character selections are nick, rochelle, coach, ellis, random and infected . what is infected? is it normal?

@X Rxmbo zlv, Yes this mod allows you to host an 8 player lobby, but, you won't be able to host 8 player lobbies if you simply subscribe. Matter of fact, you don't really have to subscribe to this mod. All you need to do is click the link under the 'Update Link April 30, 2025 and you should get the files from there. Download it, then extract those to your designated Left4dead2 folder

Does this mod/sourcemods allow you to host 8 player lobbies?

okay thank you

@corolla virus its like that since survivors are set to 2, just use the equals key to select characters while in game instead since there's no other way around this

How do I start as L4D1 character when I'm in L4D1 campaign without using command?
I start as Rochelle in the campaign but I picked Zoey in the lobby, Is it possible to starts as L4D1 character or is it a bug?

@U.G playz you can change it in the config

cfg/sourcemod/l4d_superversus.cfg and find a line called

l4d_static_minimum_survivor "8"

change 8 to whatever number, maximum is 24

Is it possible to have less than eight, but still more than four? Eg, 5?

@Skiy1k put the commands on sourcemod.cfg

File is inside cfg/sourcemod folder

@SilentDerekCGamingTTV False positive, its been like this ever since it was updated to sourcemod 11

Is there a way to automatically put sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 0
sv_force_unreserved 1
sv_maxplayers 8 into the console instead of having to do it every time I launch the game?

cant download it because of virus

@DAWG link in the description, there's an updated date there. Instructions are in the video. The video is alongside the screenshots
