Maxplayer set at 18

[fantasylidong]

Hello Sir,
I use the L4dtoolZ and have the same issue. I have same log as you.

maxplayers set to 18
Unknown command "mat_bloom_scalefactor_scalar"

Network: IP 10.0.0.41, mode MP, dedicated Yes, ports 2331 SV / 0 CL

maxplayers set to 31

But the maxplayers limit is still 18.

This is my test:
Then I use two server,one didn't install sourcetvsupports,one did.
This is server didn't install sourcetvsupports

end

Both server set SI limit at 24.
It does have maxplayer18 limitation.
Sorry for my bad english

I found a temporary solution。
this version of l4dtoolz can change the value of maxplayers in server.cfg.
For normal use just add maxplayers 32 to server.cfg after tv_enable and other cvars to lift the restriction, but still want sourcetvsupport to set maxplayers to 32.
Thanks for reading , appeaciating your work.

Use tv_enable 1 before starting the map, i.e. either in the autoexec.cfg file or in the server startup options +tv_enable 1 to avoid the problem of decreasing the maxplayers variable.

[fantasylidong]

Thanks you, accelerator. It's work.
I use your latest l4dtoolz(1.1.0.1)and add this cvar into autoexec.cfg.

tv_enable 1
tv_autorecord 0
tv_maxrate 100000
tv_transmitall 1

server startup command:

./srcds_run -console -game left4dead2 -tickrate 100 -hltv +tv_port 6666 -port 2333 +maxplayers 31 +map "c2m1_highway"

The maxplayers valve set correctly after all set.

] maxplayers
Welcome user!
"maxplayers" is "31"
"mininum_maxplayers" is "18"
"absolute_maxplayers" is "18"
"default_maxplayers" is "18"
"max_splitscreen_players" is "2"

I hope this issue will help those people who have same issues.

I have noticed that autorecoder plugins stop work recently, So I checked the sourcetv status.

After the setting from the previous, The SourceTV is not active.

If you wrote tv_enable 1 to start server command.

] tv_enable 1
Unknown command "tv_enable"

It's useless. Because tv_enable 1 cann't be set before extension load.
wrote in autoexec.cfg, The valve will not change. The SourceTV will not active.
Sourcetv cvar Setting need extension load. So write in start command or autoexec.cfg is useless.

wrote in server.cfg, The maxslots will decrease as previous.
So, I still have the issue.

You don't need to rely on sourcemod (sm_cvar) with configs.
Make sure your VSP has loaded with message

[STVS] SourceTV related convars (25 out of 25) were successfully exposed. Unloading...

This should unlock tv_* convars to be used as launch parameters, as well as in autoexec.cfg.

Yes, The VSP was not load appropriately.
I found my addons/sourcetvsupport_vsp_l4d2.vdf file is emety.
I changed the vdf file to load VSP appropriately.
Thank for your replys and times.
