that is an issue I did not think could occur, perhaps verify integrity of your files, unsub to any other mods you have, retrace steps, or maybe don't have admin system installed. Those are the possible solutions I can think of.
I did it and all it did was replace my l4d1 characters with l4d2 characters and theres only 4 survivors The lobby has 8 slots but i spawn in and theres no L4D1 survivors, just l4D2 survivors. I want to play with all 8 characters from both games, how do i do that?
You'll have to go through the multislots cfg file and allow all 8 survivors to not be auto kicked. Once you do that you might need another mod to have them auto spawn.
@@TATERSL4D2 I have tried and don't need to add other mods to be able to play with spawning 7+ bots, all I need to do is change l4d_multislots_max_survivors to "8" and l4d_multislots_spawn_survivors_roundstart to "1"

Your friends won't need anything extra at all, unless you're hosting custom maps then they also need the same map. If you want all 8 survivors in the game without having all players, you can change the command l4d_multislots_max_survivors "4" to "8" in \Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\cfg\sourcemod\l4dmultislots.cfg so that NPC survivors can stay in the game

i was playing yesterday with my friends in the 8 player server, and today after reinstalling the game, the mod is not working anymore, how can i fix that?
Hey it worked spectacular! but i was wondering if there is an option to disable left 4 dead 2 characters from appearing in L4D campaigns or chapters? I respectively would love to experience No Mercy with the L4D cast originally and not the L4D2 cast, I'd appreciate any information on how to change this preference!
go to \Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\cfg\sourcemod\l4d2_character_manager.cfg and change l4d2_survivor_set "3" to l4d2_survivor_set "0"
I followed everything in the video step by step. didn't work for me. source mod is installed but when i check "sm_cvar survivorlimit 8" i get "[SM] Unable to find cvar: survivorlimit"
I was able to fix this by uninstalling l4d2 and deleting all local files, then with a fresh install following all the steps in the video. I think because I had a addon from the workshop that used to work, it allowed for 8 player co-op. It was still somewhere in the files so I needed to delete it, to get this method to work.
@@TATERSL4D2 Whenever, but i fixed it i just disabled the survivors spawning on server start but if that could be fixed so there could be 8 bots without it crashing would be very nice
When I want to play with friends on a local server, they get the message "connection failed after 10 attempts." If I change to an official dedicated server, it doesn't work, nor does a better dedicated server. Any solution?
Local server is the only solution cause its referring to YOUR server. Official server is the valve official servers so that won't work and the best dedicated server are custom servers thats not yours. I can only think of a putting "sm_cvar sv_lan 0" in your sourcemod.cfg file. Thats located in left4dead, cfg, sourcemod, sourcemod.cfg
@@TATERSL4D2 thx for the feedback but damn thats a lot,another thing is when i play singleplayer with bot and multiplayer with 1-2 friend.The bot will despawn when going to the next level,do you encounter this problem?
\Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\cfg\autoexec.cfg go to this file and type "sv_lan 0" as its own line if you do not have this file you can copy a .cfg file already in that location and rename it and edit it
that could mean you have mods enabled that players joining are trying to install, since l4d2 does not have an auto installer upon joining you might need to disable some cosmetic mods. If this is not the case, tell people to press the tilde key and check console for what the game is trying to do once the loading bar disappears.
Thank you your great effort, tested it with 6 of the bois and works fine so far. However, i do have some problems. Mostly cause I'm not really good at this stuff. Wanted to make the maps stay default survivors instead of all them being L4D2 ones. Scrolling the comments that I've seen some having similar problem. Supposed to change it's playermanager cfg something, from "3" to "0" but it still defaulted to L4D2 survivors. We could manually change characters but would be a hassle to do it everytime. Any work-arounds?
Go to \Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\cfg\sourcemod and change the commands sm_cvar survivorlimit 8 sm_cvar sv_maxplayers 8 to sm_cvar survivorlimit 6 sm_cvar sv_maxplayers 6

@wOoKiKi yes and no since people have saved their weapons but some have taken others. But the plugin has caused issues that I wasn't aware of so it could be worth disabling.

i dont see "7-Zip"
You can use any other software to extract it. But if you don't have any software to extract zip files then you can use 7-zip like in the video

Bro they updated the left 4 dead This June 25 and it stopped working in the campaign, it only works for me in tank run :(
I updated the pack just recently so I hope it works for you
@@TATERSL4D2It already works for me. Thank you very much, but is there a way to expand the slots? For example, 10 or 15 is because I have many friends.
@@xen6293 The local server can only reach up to 8 all thanks to versus, so this pack unlocks the other 4 slots for campaign. It is possible to play up to 32 players if you want to but there is an entirely different approach to this through this guide

i was playing yesterday with my friends in the 8 player server, and today after reinstalling the game, the mod is not working anymore, how can i fix that?
Hey it worked spectacular! but i was wondering if there is an option to disable left 4 dead 2 characters from appearing in L4D campaigns or chapters? I respectively would love to experience No Mercy with the L4D cast originally and not the L4D2 cast, I'd appreciate any information on how to change this preference!
go to \Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\cfg\sourcemod\l4d2_character_manager.cfg
and change l4d2_survivor_set "3"
to
l4d2_survivor_set "0"
С сегодняшнего дня перестали работать аддоны, которые я скачивал не из мастерской стима. До этого все работало. Что могло произойти?
I followed everything in the video step by step. didn't work for me.
source mod is installed but when i check "sm_cvar survivorlimit 8" i get "[SM] Unable to find cvar: survivorlimit"
I was able to fix this by uninstalling l4d2 and deleting all local files, then with a fresh install following all the steps in the video.
I think because I had a addon from the workshop that used to work, it allowed for 8 player co-op. It was still somewhere in the files so I needed to delete it, to get this method to work.
The 5th player cant join the game, it says full, is there like command i need to do ?
how can I change amount of first aid kit per spawn?
it keeps crashing when some one joins as a l4d1 survivor
is it a map specific issue? or just whenever
@@TATERSL4D2 Whenever, but i fixed it i just disabled the survivors spawning on server start but if that could be fixed so there could be 8 bots without it crashing would be very nice
how do i make it so its 8 survivors in a campaign mission?
When I want to play with friends on a local server, they get the message "connection failed after 10 attempts." If I change to an official dedicated server, it doesn't work, nor does a better dedicated server. Any solution?
Local server is the only solution cause its referring to YOUR server. Official server is the valve official servers so that won't work and the best dedicated server are custom servers thats not yours.
I can only think of a putting "sm_cvar sv_lan 0" in your sourcemod.cfg file. Thats located in left4dead, cfg, sourcemod, sourcemod.cfg
It worked for me but whenever we finished a stage, suddenly got disconnected same with them. I'm the host
is this tutorial only be done with the one hosting the game? no need for other players to get this?
Thank you for your response
No other players need to follow this tutorial only the hoster.

@@TATERSL4D2 thx for the feedback but damn thats a lot,another thing is when i play singleplayer with bot and multiplayer with 1-2 friend.The bot will despawn when going to the next level,do you encounter this problem?
@thefist7549 it's the function of the ty_saveweapon plugin, some people say it's bugging out so you can disable it if it's causing too many problems.
@@TATERSL4D2 thx man works like charm
@@TATERSL4D2 in sourcemod when playing the passing the l4d1 survivor isnt appearing on the bridge ,is that normal?
why when i host local server but all my friend keep pop out 10 retries?
same bro. please help
\Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\cfg\autoexec.cfg
go to this file and type "sv_lan 0" as its own line
if you do not have this file you can copy a .cfg file already in that location and rename it and edit it
what does it mean if people trying to join are stuck at no loading progress while the host is able to load into a game with all bots?
that could mean you have mods enabled that players joining are trying to install, since l4d2 does not have an auto installer upon joining you might need to disable some cosmetic mods. If this is not the case, tell people to press the tilde key and check console for what the game is trying to do once the loading bar disappears.
Thank you your great effort, tested it with 6 of the bois and works fine so far.
However, i do have some problems. Mostly cause I'm not really good at this stuff.
Wanted to make the maps stay default survivors instead of all them being L4D2 ones. Scrolling the comments that I've seen some having similar problem.
Supposed to change it's playermanager cfg something, from "3" to "0" but it still defaulted to L4D2 survivors. We could manually change characters but would be a hassle to do it everytime.
Any work-arounds?
I think 8 players is too many, so how can I change it to a 6-player campaign?
Go to
\Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\cfg\sourcemod
and change the commands
sm_cvar survivorlimit 8
sm_cvar sv_maxplayers 8
to
sm_cvar survivorlimit 6
sm_cvar sv_maxplayers 6

hello, just wanted to ask it here. is it possible to combine the addon "super hordes - lite" with this? me and my friends wanted to combine 8 slots and super hordes for more fun.
any script mod will work, the hoster just needs to sub to it
Please tell me, is it possible to make sure that all the bots are on the map at once?
Awesome vid, it works, thanks! One question, how do I disable everyone getting full health as the chapter transitions to the next?
try disabling the ty_saveweapons.smx plugin
@@TATERSL4D2 Thanks for the reply, would this disable carrying the weapon to the next chapter though?
@wOoKiKi yes and no since people have saved their weapons but some have taken others. But the plugin has caused issues that I wasn't aware of so it could be worth disabling.
@@TATERSL4D2Will try in my next session with my friends and let you know here, thanks
still no luck for this, anyone with ideas let me know!

enable the developer console in the keyboard/mouse settings, then press the "~" key. That key is right under your esc key.

I have problem when I play with friends(connections failed after 10 retires.) but sometimes when I do public server other people can join my server.
was this happening when you invite to lobby or in-game?
@@TATERSL4D2 Yes I invite friend into lobby. But recently I figure out how to play with friends 1.I open lobby and start game 2.and wait for random player join. 3.vote return to lobby. 4.kick random players and set lobby to friends only and now I can play with friends. PS.If you have way easier to play with friends you can tell me. THX for your helping.
@@IWant2SleepZZZ2002 normally that isn't necessary to do. I've never heard of something like this happening, could be a porting issue but port forwarding isn't necessary to tweak for local servers. Does your friend see the game through matchmaking when you keep the lobby public?
