Installing Sourcemod, Metamod: Source, Stripper: Source and Rotoblin

If you already have your server setup with working versions of Rotoblin 0.8.1, Stripper, Metamod and Sourcemod you can download the CG-AU Rotoblin Pack: Here.

Many game hosts have a one-button install for some mods, you should check your game server panel for those under Add ons or similar. Usually they only have out of date mods there but they may be kind enough to update them if you ask. For the sake of future compatability the most recent versions of these mods should always be used.

Manually installing these mods.

You need to know a few things first:

1. Your FTP IP
   
2. Your FTP username and password
   
3. Your Left 4 Dead Servers IP address
   
4. Whether the server is being hosted on Linux or Windows
   
(type "status" in console and check under the Operating System (OS) heading to check)

5. Your steam ID
   

Once you've got this information, you need to download the following files:

1. Metamod: Source for the appropriate (Windows or Linux) platform: Here. (Currently 1.9 DEV)
   
2. Sourcemod for the appropriate platform: Here. (Currently 1.4 DEV)
   
3. Stripper: Source for the appropriate platform: Here.
   
4. Rotoblin: Here. (Currently 0.8.1)
   
5. The Metamod VDF: Here.
   

Setup a folder with everything you will need to copy later.

Create a directory on your local disk. Inside it, unzip all the above files. You should end up with a directory that looks like this:
You can ignore the .txt files.

Metamod: Source .vdf file

Put the .vdf file you downloaded into addons

Stripper: Source Hotfix (LINUX ONLY)

Download the Stripper: Source Hotfix: Here.

Put this file in addons/sourcemod/extentions and overwrite.

Server admins

This gives you full permissions on your server.

CG-AU Rotoblin and plugin pack, Tournament Config Inside!

Download CG-AU Rotoblin Pack: Here.
Includes: Standard, SendForRoar, CardBoardBox Tournament and the respective hardcore versions of Rotoblin.
(Hardcore removes all item spawns from the map and sets melee cooldown to 2)

Also provides updated RUP (round restards needed for HC however), no map multipliers and the respawn, lerptracker and give weapon plugins.

Votes can be called with the !campaign and !match chat commands.
The config that will be used for the CBB Tournament will be rotoblin_cbb.cfg and can be activated with !execcfg rotoblin_cbb.cfg in chat by a user with the exec permission.

Extract the zip to the same directory used earlier so the files merge, say yes to any overwrite messages.

Copying files to your server using FTP

Using your FTP client (such as FileZilla), copy the folders such that they merge with the the respective folders on the server, say yes to any overwrite messages.

Your server host will have given you your username and password for the servers FTP, if not the details are likely in the online control panel under a File Transfer or FTP heading.
The Host if the IP address of your server, minus the port (:25015). Most often the Port for FTP is 21.

Restart the server

Connecting to your server from a lobby.

Edit/create your autoexec.cfg file (on YOUR computer, in your SteamSteamApps/common/left 4 dead/left4dead/cfg) directory and add the command:


This will mean that any lobbies you create use your server if you are the lobby reader and have Offical Server selected.
