Left 4 Dead

Interestingly it was vs. on the non-vs. maps, but it looks like the player numbers were capped at 4.

Couldn't really make much sense of it last night, was too busy laughing as Snooks and pals left Smilo to die on a roof top. I've never seen such shameless self preservation.

That is a "known bug" with L4D at present. Quite often, as the last person leaves the server it will revert to a 4 person co-op server. To fix this just change to one of the vs maps. See this post for how any admin with rcon access can fix the problem - I tried it through HLSW with OB on the server and it soreted the prob fine

The server was 4 person versus. :blink:

Tried restarting the level a few times and it fixed it.:sideways:

All correct, but the 4 person vs allows you to play the other maps.

Much more fun with variety.
Do we have the server power to run two instances? I'm happy to admin both for all if people ding me on Steam for restarts.

We will once BA4 gets up and running :devil:

I'm well confused now.

I thought that there was either co-op (4) or versus ( and that to play as the infected would require either the Hospital or the Farm 'vs' maps.

How do you arrive at 4 player versus?

[Benny]

I'm not sure on how, but essentially it runs as co-op but you can still switch team. So.....if next time it appears to run co-op, hit 'm' and switch team and you can run versus on the co-op map.

Fun games tonight people, many thanks

[smilodon]

Yeah another fun night. A question though. Is there anyway we can set the server so Benny is always the girl in the red track suit and I'm always a hunter?

[Benny]

Why not set something up like that 'real' CS with airsoft guns. I can meet you at in the New Forest, I believe there is a vacant lot that used to be 'Lapland'. I'll wear a red tracksuit, you can jump out of trees and land on me, then Lib can puke on us both.

If we get enough people perhaps OB can jump in an tongue us?

/hmmmm vegbians didn't work, but real-l4d might..

Not sure if its still the case but last night into the early morning there were some issues with non dmw lfd servers that i joined.

Basically on joining their server's i was the host with 3 bots. Anyway i completed the level Death Toll mission 1. The mission ends after entering the safe room as usual. However instead of loading mission 2 of death toll the server moved to dead air mission 1. This resulted in the server booting it seemed my other character louis and having me and 2 bots. Three people joined the game and then we played through the level of dead air 1. Afterwards it then loaded death toll mission 1 again but forced each human except for myself to spectator mode and they were unable to get out of this and i was unable to force the game back to the lobby.

This happened again on another server where it went from dead air to no mercy and then back again :S

Not sure if it was simply down to custom server plugins or lfd problems but i did a steam restart and a lfd verify steam cache just to be sure.

Thought i'd let you guys know.
