I'm currently trying to get Metamod version 1.7.1 running on my dedicated L4D2 server running on a windows vista machine.


I don't have any issues when running it plain jane. But the moment I put the vdf file in the addons folder and try to run the server immediately crashes.



Here is the dump for the crash.


"Faulting application srcds.exe, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x4adfa0ed, faulting module server.dll, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x4b05e963, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x000cd145, process id 0xa34, application start time 0x01ca6db8192bb352."



Here is my vdf readout



"Plugin"
{
"file" "\addons\metamod\bin\server.dll"
}







I've tried using one with the readout below with the same results.



"Plugin"
{
"file" "..\left4dead2\addons\metamod\bin\server. dll"
}





Looks like it's crashing while trying to load server.dll

Anything I can do? Do I really have to wait until 1.8?

Any help would be very very appreciated.

1.8 is available, and 1.7.1 does not support L4D2.

Ok well I get further but am now getting this message form the server.

Failed to load plugin "\addons\metamod\bin\server.dll"

I know it's something simple at this point but I fail in my noobishness to see it.
Any help would is always appreciated.


My install of L4d2 server is located here:

C:\HLServer\

Trance, you need to update MM:S and SourceMM to the latest betas.

pimpjuice. My response to Atomic was after updating to 1.8.

I currently have the latest game server files for L4d2 and the latest Metamod to my knowledge.

I'm trying to install one thing at a time as to keep things simple.
So...what I am trying to accomplish here should be simple.

1. Setup server

2. Setup Metamod

I think that maybe my server config is screwing with the mod loading.

Could someone maybe provide the best working server config for windows for me?

Here is my current config:

hostname ~DIGITAL SAINTS~

rcon_password *********

sv_contact "[email protected]"

sv_region 255

sv_allow_wait_command 0
sv_alltalk 0
sv_alternateticks 0
sv_cheats 0
sv_clearhinthistory 0
sv_consistency 1
sv_lan 0
sv_log_onefile 0
sv_logbans 1
sv_logecho 0
sv_logfile 0
sv_logflush 0
sv_logsdir “logs”
sv_maxcmdrate 100

I realize I'm a complete noob when it comes to this stuff but hey, you gotta start somewhere.

My shortcut exe string is:

+ip "666.666.666.666" +hostport 27015 +map c5m1_waterfront.bsp


My current metamod.vdf reads:

"Plugin"
{
"file" "../left4dead2/addons/metamod/bin/server"
}


Metamod-fatal.log says:

L 11/27/2009 - 22:41:55: Detected engine 4 but could not load: The specified module could not be found.

Thanks again for the help people.

The error message implies you installed the oldest 1.8 snapshot instead of the newest one.

[trancehound]

You know what is funny? I have the latest on installed, and after a reboot of my machine that I am hosting on Metamod is now running upon server launch.
This is weird but I'm not going to question it. I now have Sourcemod installed too and am just in the midst of configuring it. Thank you guys for the effort.

I've tried the latest snapshot and I get: Failed to load plugin "\addons\metamod\bin\server.dll" no matter how many times I try. I tried other random snapshots listed and still get the problem. Any ideas?
