For those who want to play Super-Horde with this mod
so back then i was asking if theres something conflicting the files within the 8 survivors and the super-horde mod, but for all things i have followed from the devs, theres no works and simply we finally realize to assume its the update's fault but... after a month from that question im back to find the solution for this so... i turn myself now..

i have been searching the sourcemod files finding the thing conflicting with the Script of Super-Horde and ironically its the Superversus Sourcemod addon itself that is conflicting the Super-horde mod

heres how i fixed it.

first go to Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\cfg\sourcemod

find the l4d_superversus.cfg and open it

once opened, you will see a bunch of things that modifies the z_mobs try to reconfigure those

heres mine if you want to play it full horde mod

// Default: "100.0"
ci_background_mob_size "100.0"

// Sets the max mobs able to spawn.
// -
// Default: "150.0"
ci_common_mob_limit_size "200.0"

// Sets the mega mob size.
// -
// Default: "200.0"
ci_mega_mob_size "300.0"

// Sets the finale mob size.
// -
// Default: "250.0"
ci_mob_spawn_finale_size "250.0"

// Sets the max mob size.
// -
// Default: "100.0"
ci_mob_spawn_max_size "200.0"

// Sets the min mob size.
// -
// Default: "100.0"
ci_mob_spawn_min_size "100.0"

i hope this helps for the others finding a way to play super-hordes with the 8 survivors mod

edit: "but wait! this isnt a fix, this is rather a overwrite" yes it is just an overwrite but you can modify the superversus file in your will, basically you can just download the superhorde mod in Steamworkshop check the scripts file there named gamemodes and simply find every z_mob z_common things there, find their value and replace the superversus value with the z_mob and z_common value from the Super-Horde mod,

IMPORTANT NOTE: IT WILL DOUBLE THE AMOUNT THE SIZE OF THE PLACED VALUE WITHIN THE SUPER-VERSUS ADDON (basically if you put 200 it will become 400)

That is nice, but it seems that editing superversus.cfg only increases the amount of infected in hordes, but not the general number of infected that spawn around the map, at least for me. Also, doesn't seem to have any effect on the bridge finale in The Parish, infected numbers still remain pretty low. Maybe I did something wrong?

well the supervesus dont affect much the original campaign mega hordes, this is where
Superhordes comes to save you, because super hordes has the main campaign/story edit
which superversus dont have.

@MrColossus Hi there. So, I just tried the steps that you put in this discussion post but my game is still crashing instantaneously the moment all 8 of the survivors spawn into the campaign. I've decided that I'm gonna try experimenting further with finding a way to make the super hordes mod and the all 8 survivor sourcemod work compatibly some other time. Can you please tell me how I can reset the values in the l4d_superversus.cfg back to their default values so that I can my game work normally with just the all 8 survivor sourcemod? Please and thank you

Re-Extract the file or the entire mod tbh, Although it's weird that it doesn't work as its still working for me very fine like there is no crashes. Unless you make the horde becomes limit 400 which i have to restate it that if you input the static number like 400.

That 400 becomes 800, so i advise to not go beyond 200 in base number (i really don't recommend it because L4D2 is only a 32 bit game, it will crash as more entities start to spawn in and needs to be processed by the game's engine.)

Also i think Super Horde isn't truly compatible except the campaign horde files which it modified, it just fix the static (like random hordes) back to what the Super Horde Configuration has on the txt/nut file.

TL:DR - If you have 400 in the value, it will doubles by logic because thats how super versus works. It doubles the spawns of commons and S.I to balance the 8 survivors, i don't advice going 200 in base numbers. (I know it's complex but it is what it is, we have yet to see an actual stable 8 survivors mod that doesn't tamper the numbers of commons and specials but it's just a nuisance at best.)
Here's a picture if you get a little confused.

@MrColossus I've just sent you a friend request on steam because I'm ready to ask for your assistance in properly installing this alongside the all 8 survivor sourcemod. I've also taken the liberty of uninstalling ALL of me other mods and deactivated t the ones I've personally installed in me addon inventory. Just let me know when you're available! And have a great day/night!
