Left 4 Dead has moved over to using SteamCMD as of the latest update. I would read through the following wiki page for SteamCMD, to get an idea of how it works:

https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD

The AppID you'll need to install Left 4 Dead via SteamCMD is 510.

Thank you so much that helped a lot I have the server running now

I came onto another problem. The srscd launcher to launch left 4 dead. It doesn't come with a start up line like it used to so I can't apply specific ips on to it.
I tried using auto exec to execute the launch settings but it's not working

[Spray]

What are you currently using to launch the server? Would you mind pasting your startup line here?

[AppleZ]

im using the srcsd.exe launcher
but unlike how it used to be it doesnt give me the option of adding a start up line

this is my start up line on my autoexec
-game left4dead -ip 74.91.114.101 -port 27015 -maxplayers 12 -console -nocrashdialog -norestart -threads 1 -nohltv +map l4d_vs_smalltown01_caves -tickrate 100

[Spray]

The startup line would be placed either into the startup parameters to a shortcut to launch the server, or into a batch file. The autoexec.cfg file would be separate, located within the /cfg/ folder of the server. In this file, you would place config settings that must be set before the first map is loaded.

Try using something like the following batch file to launch the server:

Code: Select all

start C:\path\to\my\server\srcds.exe -game left4dead -ip 74.91.114.101 -port 27015 -maxplayers 12 -console -nocrashdialog -norestart -threads 1 -nohltv +map l4d_vs_smalltown01_caves -tickrate 100

Save this as "launchl4d.bat" after editing the path to your srcds.exe file.
