Tips for dedicated servers
I suggest making some map-specific configs for each map to alleviate some problems. SourceMod is required.

maps/cfg/glubtastic4_2.cfg
sm_cvar director_afk_timeout 1800 // Increase auto idle time for this map to thirty minutes or more // If a player is idle and moved to spec, the map will kill their character

maps/cfg/glubtastic4_3.cfg
sm_cvar sv_turbophysics_shadow 1 // Makes the seesaws usable

maps/cfg/glubtastic4_6.cfg and glubtastic4_7.cfg
sv_consistency 0 // Required to prevent error: // Server is enforcing consistency for this file: models/sisfected/witch.mdl

Here are the corresponding default values for your server.cfg:
sv_consistency 1 // Glub4_6 and 7 models/sisfected/witch.mdl sm_cvar director_afk_timeout 45 // Glub4_2 kicks idle players to make room for SI sm_cvar sv_turbophysics_shadow 0 // Glub4_3 seesaw fix

Explanations:

On map 2 if a player goes idle the map may kick their bot to make room for special infected. The default setting is 45 seconds so this removes the danger of it happening by accident.

On map 3, the seesaws don't work as well as if the map were hosted on a listen server (client). This makes them work normally.

On maps 6 and 7, you can be kicked from the server if it's enforcing consistency, reportedly because of a custom witch model. I presume this is a bug in the game, so if you'd rather not disable consistency checking completely, disable it for these maps. I haven't experienced the issue on the others.

Any way to isolate the features of this map only for this map?
What I mean is that the recoil and glitched reloading ends up for all campaigns.

@EDSHOT

I don't know what you're referring to. I've never seen any issues with reloading or recoil. Could you describe what's happening and which specific map in the campaign the problems appear, and the precise time? If there is an issue the mappers can fix it would greatly help narrow it down. A video of this happening would be even better. Note that I'm not involved with the makers of this campaign, I'm just someone operating some servers.

If it's animation issues then it's probably just be a client-side issue, and not something which affects servers. Perhaps it's a problem with custom models?

I haven't tried custom campaigns, but it happens for all official campaigns.
I don't know what you mean by precise time. The recoil is always active and the reload glitch is only when you try and reload the last bullet. When I upload the video you'll see what I mean.

I unloaded all addons from my client and decided to test if it was caused by sv_consistency being set to 0 on my dedicated server. With it being set to 1 the problem still persisted.
I removed the Glubtastic 4 jpg and vpk and found out it still persisted.
...
So I removed my entire addons folder on the dedicated server and the problem is gone.

Only reason why I had thought it was Glubtastic was because:
1. I have had all those mods on client before and never saw that issue before.
2. Where it should say Boomer it would say Glub instead on client side.

I will record the video later, since I tried recording it and it's choppy.
In addition I would have to find somewhere to upload the video.

The issue was another custom map including scripts that modifies the guns which somehow applied it for all maps.
Thankfully it was only optional addons so I can still have the custom map without those annoyances.

My apologies for assuming it was your map.
I need to pay attention next time when using the subscribe to all campaign button.

If someone has this issue and doesn't know which map is causing the issue I recommend running these commands on a Cygwin shell:
PATH=$PATH:/cygdrive/c/SteamCMD/steamapps/common/Left\ 4\ Dead\ Dedicated\ Server/bin for f in *.vpk; do echo "$f" >> zoutput.txt && vpk l "$f" >> zoutput.txt; done cat zoutput.txt | grep -e vpk -e scripts | less
Left 4 Dead 2 doesn't include vpk.exe by default, but Left 4 Dead 1 does.
I recommend checking out the scripts that include keywords like autoshotgun, but better pray its not a modification that has a cryptic name where you have to check every .txt and .nut file.

I don't know enough about L4D2 mapping to say, but I think it's a problem with the game, not the map. I would disable consistency checking for the above two maps, or just for all maps. Who's going to wallhack in Glubtastic?

Why do I think it's not the map? Because the stated model is a witch model substitute specified in the campaign's addon details. This uses a supported game mechanic, and because no other campaign uses the same custom witch model, and it's not resident in the files, the only place it can perform consistency checking is with the Glub4 VPK, which is guaranteed to have the same hash.

IDLE: marnid 10 May, 2021 @ 4:40pm 
my game like to crash when I join people game. at first i thought it was because special infected mod, so i disable all of them. but it still crash. the worst thing is i cant test it because it take a while to crash, sometime 1-2 chapter before it crash. the only way i can play this map is by enable just glub4 only.
is there a way to see if there any addon conflict with glub4? im not a computer expert, but if it can fix the problem. im willing to try.

@marnid This thread is not for client crash reports. This is for dedicated server operators. I suggest you make a new thread, and give more details about the crash in there.
