Is Left 4 Dead just not enough for you these days? It was for Phoenix and Hunterbrute and they decided to take matters into their own hands. Left 4 Dead supports 12 user slots. 4 Survivors, 4 Infected and 4 Spectators. We're still trying to figure out why 4 spectarors though. We managed to get 12 survivors playing together on No Mercy. It was legendary...
We still need to release an actual tutorial on how to make this all happen easily. Currently, we're using a mixture of SourceMod plugins, and a long list of cvars. This proves to be very difficult, but doable. These screenshots show us playing on Server #3 with 5 survivors. I can't find the screenshots with all 12 survivors in the server. When I do, I'll come post them here http://www.l4dmods.com/plugins/system/yvsmiley/phpbb/icon_e_smile.gif
Thanks goes out to The Punisher for writing up the tutorial as we're too darn lazy to do it ourselves:
First you need to get these and install them on the server:
Metamod:Source (http://www.sourcemm.net/?go=downloads) & Sourcemod (http://www.sourcemod.net/snapshots.php)
Next you need the following Sourcemod plugins:
[L4D] Director Controller All4Dead (http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=751952) (Admin Tools)[/URL]
[L4D] Extra players (http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=751952) (adds bots to the server)After you've installed all of these you are ready to go! Set up a versus lobby (Any map will do as you will change the map ingame when its all setup) and start when all are ready.
Ingame you need to enter the following commands in the console:
sb_all_bot_team 1
director_no_human_zombies 1
This allows the infected to move to the survivor team. Now change to the campaign map you want to play.
Once the map has loaded type sm_l4dbot.
Hopefully now (if its worked) you should have an extra survivor standing in the spawn area. When you use this command it also adds a fake player to the bot which just stands around doing nothing. After 30 seconds the fake player will be kicked, allowing another player to play as the bot. Get a player to switch teams from infected to survivors and they should just be able to take control using the left mouse button. If not get them to type sb_takecontrol in the console and that should sort it! Repeat this part to add more players to the survivor team.
Finally, type !admin in chat, goto All4Dead settings, Versus settings and disable versus mode. If its all gone right, you should now be playing a campaign with more than 4 players. For added fun, get this aswell (http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=752604). This adds extra special infected to the game. Although it is for versus it will still work for campaign mode and makes the game more challenging and works well when you have more than 4 survivors. It's also frikkin mental http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/v4_images/smilies/biggrin.gif We were using it last night and in 3 campaigns we managed to kill nearly 1500 hunters, not to mention the amount of boomers and smokers we killed. It was probably the best and most fun games we've ever had
Quick thanks to کcŌŕp!Ōŋ (was tested on his server), βëŌωںĻf, Ķă!ŋë & voldermort for helping me test this, thanks to the makers of sourcemod and metamod, and a big thanks devicenull (for the extra players mod), grandwazir (for the All4Dead mod) & djromero (for the Infected Bots mod) for making the plugins needed to do this.......
