(i have no idea why Valve thought that would be a good system for the game lol, and it might be bugged / broken now since Steam recently updated the different privacy settings for our Profiles)īeware if you want to uninstall it later you will need to know a little bit about file tree structure / folder directories, and what folders to delete, although it only takes deleting 2 or 3 folders so its not bad, just check the Installation info and ReadMe files in the 1st folder after unzipping. If your Steam Group Servers List says 0 servers in L4D2, then you actually have to join a steam group before any of their servers will show up in-game, there are a bunch of Public steam group servers, like ours are, in the list that should always show up even if you didnt join the servers Steam Group, but if your Steam Profile settings is set to Friends-Only or Private viewability, it makes it so even public servers dont show up in your Group Servers List.
SOURCE 2013 SOURCEMOD PLUGINS INSTALL
Like our DG | coop #1 or #3 Custom servers do, and in that way you can play 8 player coop online with your friends but dont have to install anything into your own game files, or struggle with the Local Host instability if yours does not want to work great. (Just dont let everyone in the lobby vote to start, otherwise it will choose a random server at the end of the countdown, and the random one it finds may not support / have 8 player coop setup) You can just start a regular L4D2 lobby, and make sure the Server Type setting of the lobby is set to Steam Group Server instead of Official Dedicated, then when the Lobby Leader player starts the match it will allow him/her to pick a server from their own Steam Group Servers List, and then just make sure they pick a server that allows 8 player coop. over time, see the ReadMe file for the usable chat commands) (like the stat tracker plugin, which keeps track of all players kills etc. NOTE: You Do Not "need" these packs / SourceMod and the different plugins, to be able to play 8 player Coop campaigns in L4D2 online with friends, this is only if you want your own games Single Player and Local Host options to run with 8 players, and all the new settings / features that are achieved with these SourceMod plugins. ( Superversus, L4DToolz, Dhooks v2.2, and some others, see the credits section of the ReadMe) Just in case anyone wanted it, i have made a folder directory with sourcemod, metamod, and some plugins that are useful for players to install into their own L4D2 game, and also that allow 8 players in Single Player or the Local Host modes.
