[dualcore1289]

L4D server crashes on startup?

[nizoo]

Windows server? if so make sure you update it again with -game left4dead NOT -game "l4d_full"

[dualcore1289]

[nizoo]

L4D is a 4 player game unless you put it in versus mode.
"director_no_human_zombies 0" to do versus mode.

and dont set a starting map, I know every other source/hlds type of game requires that, but this game works differently.

[dualcore1289]

i add that to the server.cfg? and how many players can it hold max? also when i dont set a map, it wont start.

[kilorat]

yeah director_no_human_zombies is in server.cfg and can be changed on the fly.
its 8 players max.
and I didnt have to set a starting map and mine started. it says its on l4d_hospital01_apartment

if you have _dem_ in the filename, that would be your problem.

[dualcore1289]

also, the versus only goes through like 2 maps? thats all? what about the 4 player one, that have more maps and players?

[kilorat]

The demo only had 2 maps, the full version has 31 maps divided into 4 campaigns.

It's either 4 players where everyone is human vs the bots, or 8 players where its 4 humans vs 4 zombies.

[dualcore1289]

hm. howcome the 4v4 only goes through like 2 maps? also i wonder if there will ever be more than 8 players allowed, and 4, etc.

Mines hanging on startup....Can I have the start lines from peoples servers which are working.

Thanks!

Nevermind, got it going with this startline:

-console -game left4dead -port 27045 +map l4d_hospital01_apartment
