L4D2: Sourcemod Installation Freezes My Game

Installing sourcemod and metamod freezes l4d2

By Eranthis 1 year ago

I managed to get sourcemods working years ago for Left 4 Dead 2 and trying to install them again seems to be pure disaster. I've done everything tutorials ask for and yet it seems I can't get the mods working correctly.

-I downloaded sourcemod 1.5.0 for windows

-I downloaded mmsource 1.9.0 for windows

-the contents have been merged into my directory

-metamod.vdf is moved into the add-ons folder

-removed all the previous plugins I had

-incorporated my steam ID into "admins_simple"

All of these procedures were added and according to most videos, the console commands included "sm" and "meta". Typing these into my console, I get nothing. So I decided I need to change the launch options to "-insecure"

After typing this into the launch options, I try to make a new game, singleplayer, local server, anything, and the loading screen instantly freezes near the end of the loading bar. I have to ctrl+alt+delete every time this happens.

What am I doing wrong?

    Every time you start the game, it should tell you that you have plugins that don't allow you to join VAC secured servers. If it doesn't say that, something's wrong.

    These folders and files should be in these directories:

    metamod and sourcemod folders = addons metamod.vdf = addons

    So first, check and see if those are in the right place, and if they are, and still don't work, then that's not the problem obviously.

    Let me know if it doesn't work, I'll have to look into it more.

    Everything is in correct order. I even removed everything to replace sourcemod with 1.4 and 1.3 as I was told 1.5 is actually defective and even then, every sourcemod installation leaves me with the same problems.
