Left 4 Dead 2 server

Your Left 4 Dead 2 server runs on our game panel (Pterodactyl). The first start downloads the game files through SteamCMD.

Start the server

Open your server in the game panel and press Start. Wait until the console shows that the server is running.
Allow direct connections

In the Files tab edit left4dead2/cfg/server.cfg and add sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 0. Without it players can only join through a lobby.
Set the basics

In the same file set hostname, sv_password and rcon_password. Choose the game mode with mp_gamemode (for example coop or versus).
Join

In Left 4 Dead 2 enable the developer console, then type:
```
connect YOUR_SERVER_IP:27015
```

Ports

Port	Protocol	Use
`27015`	UDP and TCP	Game connection and RCON

Your server's assigned ports are shown in the panel and may differ from these defaults.

Type in the Console:

changelevel c1m1_hotel

Install Metamod and SourceMod into left4dead2/addons, then add plugins to addons/sourcemod/plugins.
