I would like some help with my Left 4 Dead 2 server. The server itself works. I can make it, play on it, change levels, and have other people join me. Here are some issues I am having:
This server doesn't automatically exec server.cfg. I tried to add "+exec server.cfg" in GAME_PARAMS but it doesn't work. My workaround was to create an autoexec.cfg and exec server.cfg through that.
I am unable to install SourceMod and MetaMod. Here is what I've done:
Downloaded the latest stable Linux releases of SourceMod and MetaMod.
Downloaded the MetaMod vdf file for Left 4 Dead 2 from here.
I unpacked everything and placed them in media/appdata/l4d2/left4dead2/cfg/ and media/appdata/l4d2/left4dead2/addons/ (see attached) using binhex-krusader with root privileges (root privileges seemed to be required to place files inside).
I join the server, and when I type "rcon meta" or "rcon sm" into the console these commands aren't recognized.
I read somewhere that you need to add "-insecure" to the launch options in order to use SourceMod, so I have tried doing this with and without "-insecure" in the GAME_PARAMS but it doesn't make a difference.
I have also created a login token and added a "+sv_setsteamaccount" entry to GAME_PARAMS but it also makes no difference.
The goal is to be able to run custom campaigns on this server instead of doing it locally. I would like to get this working so I can install some mods for easier map changes and maybe some better bots and stuff. I would also like to have it automatically install the same workshop content as I have subscribed to with my Steam account instead of having to put custom content manually. Additionally, when I ran a TF2 server before, I was able to enable the downloading of custom content (like maps) so that if you joined the server and didn't have the map, you could download it automatically instead of having to pause and acquire it first - this would be ideal.
Any help would be appreciated!
