A bigger challenge within the same vision for L4D2.

"L4D2 promises a satisfying and uniquely challenging experience every time the game is played, custom-fitted to your style of play."

Back in April 2011, a configuration was in the making, unfortunately. Servers weren't long lasting due to technical issues. Ever since, the configuration was a dead project until motivation revived the idea. An ideal environment where L4D2 wasn't so easily played in a fair aspect. Newcore that is now Twisted Vanilla will defy your ways to run through hordes and special infected strategies, making every bits matter.

This configuration aims to make use of all current and hidden assets of the game in the best and balanced way possible, then include some newer well deserved feature to improve the games quality of life, all thanks to the dedicated modding community of AlliedModders.

Server currently running on VMWare 16.1.2 as Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS on a tickrate set to 96.

Make sure to enter those cvars without quotes below to benefit the server tickrate.

Unless the server is already in use, joining like so will break a lot of it's features until the next map load. If you want to start your own game on it you must absolutely create a lobby and choose the Steam Group Server option from there, to allow more than 4 players in the matchmaking you need to use a special type of lobby that allows 8 players in, you can use !chmap to vote another map if one turns out to be too difficult or somehow end up softlocked, changing map takes 67 seconds to take effect.

Supports custom maps, all of the gamemodes, anti-cheat plugins.

Many exploits are disabled in versus/scavenge to keep PvP fair for everyone.

Only one simple rule that turns out to be the hardest thing in the world to follow for anyone:
Be nice. If you grief, cheat, troll, play unfair, talk trash, you will get banned.

Feel free to contact the admin for any info or use of server.

Request is mostly necessary for use, otherwise it may be waiting to be used, to acknowledge the features refer to the forum posts, use the Steam Group Chat to organize parties and games! See the post section for more details and make sure to check out the group link for maps and QoL downloads.
