Prevent client addons in game

[Ashok]

Hi guys,

I am new to hosting servers but wanted to learn how to.

I've currently set up an Ubuntu server with l4d2 server files installed.


It's running smoothly. However, I wanted to know how do I go about making it to such that the addons the clients are using, will be disabled the moment they enter my server.

I'm trying to run a Pure Vanilla server (I do not want players to be able to use their addons such as bright infected, wall material hacks and stuff)

I've seen some other servers which have this enabled (meaning, addons are not loaded for the client)

I hope i make sense here.

I tried sv_pure 2 setting but it doesn't seem to work. Can someone guide me to the right path?

Go to ~/steamcmd/left4dead2/left4dead2/cfg/addonconfig.cfg (exact path may be different for you). When you edit the file change "RestrictAddons" > "default" "0" to "1". Not sure if you gotta restart your server but that's the value you're looking for. Good luck!
