:: Installation ::


Pre-install note: This guide and linked packages are for LINUX servers only. This guide also assumes you have a clean vanilla server to start with.

At this time windows is not fully supported. For more information on setting up a windows server please visit: http://www.l4dnation.com/confogl-and-other-configs/does-promod-work-on-windows-server/

  • Step 1 - Stop Server
  • Step 2 - Install MM+SM+Required Files combo, or skip to Step 3
  • Step 3 - Install Metamod: Source
  • Step 4 - Install Sourcemod
  • Step 5 - Install Required files
  • Step 6 - Install ProMod
  • Step 7 - Start Server

    • Step 1 - Stop Server

  • Stop your server in the control panel of your GSP. Not doing this step sometimes causes issues when installing.

    • Step 2 - Install MM+SM+Updated Files combo

    Combo Pack: MetaMod + SourceMod + All Required Files (except ProMod)
    Download: MetaMod + SourceMod + All Required Files

    Install: Extract and upload to your server's /left4dead2/ folder. This is a fully working server package with all prerequisite files included and covers steps 3-6. If you do not wish to install this package and prefer to install everything separate, skip to Step 3 - Install Metamod: Source.

    Also keep in mind that this is a full install, if you have configs edited (admin_simple.ini), this will overwrite it.

    This package contains:
  • Metamod
  • Sourcemod
  • Left4Downtown
  • L4DToolz
  • Stripper:Source
  • DHooks
  • Builtin Votes
  • L4D2 Direct
  • Confogl
  • Match Vote
  • Socket
  • Connect Announce

    • We have removed a few files that aren't needed for the sake of keeping the package a bit smaller. Things removed include binaries/gamedata for games other than l4d2, and the entire scripting folder of sourcemod.

    Once installed, skip to Step 6 - Install ProMod.

    Step 3 - Install Metamod: Source

    If you already have Metamod: Source installed, check your version. If you are using at least 1.10.1, skip this step.
  • Download: MetaMod (1.10.1-hg870)
  • Source: http://sourcemm.net/snapshots
  • Install: Extract and upload to your server's /left4dead2/ folder.

    • Step 4 - Install Sourcemod

    If you already have Sourcemod installed, check your version. If you are using at least 1.6.0-hg4284, skip this step.
  • Download: SourceMod (1.6.0-hg4284)
  • Source: http://www.sourcemod.net/snapshots.php
  • Install: Extract and upload to your server's /left4dead2/ folder.

    • We Recommend: Version 1.6.0-hg4140+ (below this and the latest SMAC won't fully work)

    Step 5 - Install Required files

    Download the following from the Downloads page and follow the instructions listed there for each item. If you installed the full package from Step 2, all of this is already included.
  • Left4Downtown
  • L4DToolz
  • Stripper:Source
  • DHooks
  • Builtin Votes
  • L4D2 Direct
  • Confogl
  • Match Vote
  • Socket
  • Connect Announce

    • Step 6 - Install ProMod

  • Download the latest version of ProMod from the Downloads page.
  • Extract and upload to your server's /left4dead2/ folder and overwrite anything that it asks to.
  • Promod is now installed. If you're installing other configs, make sure ProMod's plugins aren't overwritten by them as they may not work as intended.

    • Step 7 - Start Server

  • Restart your server and connect to it.
  • Once in game type in console "sm version" and "meta version" to check if both are installed.
  • Try to start a config with !forcematch promod.
  • To check plugins are loaded type "sm plugins" in console, then say !resetmatch in chat to see if it correctly unloads then try another config.
  • Your server is now installed, gg.

    • Additional Q/A

    "Commands like !forcestart and !forcematch aren't working."
  • If everything else works, you probably need to set admins in sourcemod.
  • See here: Adding Sourcemod Admins

    • "How do I get other configs like EQ into the match vote menu?"
  • You must add them in (addons/sourcemod/configs/matchmodes.txt) and then add this line into the confogl_plugins.cfg file of the config you wish to add: "sm plugins load match_vote.smx"
  • Additionally you may add the above line to your confogl_personalize.cfg so that it is universally loaded for all configs, but you must still edit matchmodes.txt.
  • To make this MUCH easier, check out the Matchmodes.txt Generator

    • "SI sounds are off, I can hear SI spawns on survivor, or my teammates are invisible."
  • SMAC's wallhack plugin causes these issues as well as causes hit registration issues.
  • We really don't recommend using it with Left 4 Dead 2. Other SMAC plugins however are very much recommended to prevent cheating. Download the latest SMAC from our Downloads page.

    • "How do I fix (issue) with Fresh/Metafogl/Etc with ProMod installed?"
  • Older configs aren't supported because the bomb valve dropped killed them. If you want to fix them to work with ProMod installed feel free but they aren't supported. Good luck to you.

    • "Where is zombie bat?"
  • Zombie bat lives in all of us.
