Re: [hlds] Deleted the L4D Survival Pack cvar email
I'm a developer at Valve who is working on the Left 4 Dead Survival pack update. We've made several changes to server operation that we'd like to give our server operators a heads up on. Since Left 4 Dead will now support three different game modes, we removed the console variable director_no_human_zombies and added a new variable called mp_gamemode which can be set to coop, versus and survival. This variable is set by lobby reservation, so a normal server running in lobby mode will require no changes by the server operator. If you are running in LAN mode without lobbies, you will need to set mp_gamemode before you load a map. For example, use mp_gamemode survival; map l4d_sv_lighthouse to load the new Lighthouse map in Survival mode. We have extended sv_gamestypes to also include survival. The default value is now coop,versus,survival. This may cause issues for some servers that have a lot of tags in addition to the defaults. We realize this is problem and adjusted sv_showtags to show the truncated tags to help server operators see if they have reached the 63 character limit. The tags issue will be fixed in the forthcoming third party campaign matchmaking update. We have extended the master servers so heartbeats will be sent as two distinct packets, one containing the existing server heartbeat, and another containing additional game data. This game data will contain all the matchmaking server tags such as sv_gametypes, and the list of third party campaign missions installed. This third party campaign list will be used by people searching for servers with third party campaigns installed. Server operators will install the VPK file of the campaign that includes the maps (and associated models, etc) as well as a mission description file that describes the campaign and its name used for matchmaking. We hope that as various third party campaigns become popular, more server operators will install them giving a larger base for players to find servers for those campaigns.
