A Note Regarding 14 Player Servers

With the Hunter Games 1.0.4 release (download), you can have up to 14 hunters in a game. This is due to the inclusion of Downtown1's "Left 4 Downtown" extension, an excellent piece of work. I couldn't get it to work right away, and Downtown1 helped me sort it out. Make sure in your parameters to srcds.exe, you include a +maxplayers 14 argument. Here's how I start up the hunter games servers:

cd \srcds\l4d
srcds.exe -autoupdate -console -game left4dead -port 27015 -ip 111.222.111.222 -tickrate 100 +exec server.cfg +maxplayers 14 +map l4d_sv_lighthouse

Also, make sure your server has sv_allow_lobby_connect_only set to 0. The huntergames.cfg file should set that for you, but it's very possible that it gets set back to 1 from some other config file or mod that you have installed. If you take both of those steps, then with Hunter Games 1.0.4, you should be able to get 14 players on your server at once. If you rent a public server, you might have to pay for extra slots.

This week I'll be adding spawn points for Death Toll and Dead Air, and hopefully this weekend I'll be able to release 1.0.5, with new maps in the default rotation.

Nice going mate! We love the mod and I'm going setup some servers too with your
mod. I'll post them soon (have one running now).

Since we're from EU it's
pretty hard to tag on USA based servers (ping 180ms). I'll set some up in
Western Europe
