1. Coop is fun but not enough people
2. Versus you can get some more people but it's annoying for the losing team if they get rolled.
or at leas that's one of many problems.
Well I found this thread on the steam forums: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/s ... p?t=833102
Which was found on: http://www.l4dmods.com/index.php?option ... tid=2:news
It reads:
We MUST try this sometime (we could also use console commands to up the difficult/amount of zombies)So after seeing the video of a bunch of guys from L4DMods playing the No Mercy campaign with more than 4 survivors (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dF0fm5zvfeU) I really wanted to try this with my friends. It's been nearly a month since they made the vid and they still haven't said how they done it. Tired of waiting, I thought I'd look into it myself and last night i worked out how to do it! Here's a little mini-guide on how to get it working.
First you need to get these and install them on the server:
Metamod:Source (get the latest version here http://www.sourcemm.net/?go=downloads)
Sourcemod (get sourcemod-1.2.1-hg2666.zip or the Linux version if thats what you need @ http://www.sourcemod.net/snapshots.php)
Next you need the following Sourcemod plugins:
[L4D] Director Controller All4Dead (admin tools) - http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=751952
[L4D] Extra players (adds bots to the server) - http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=743650
After you've installed all of these you are ready to go! Set up a versus lobby (any map will do as you will change the map ingame when its all setup) and start when all are ready.
Ingame you need to enter the following commands in the console:
sb_all_bot_team 1
director_no_human_zombies 1
This allows the infected to move to the survivor team. Now change to the campaign map you want to play.
Once the map has loaded type sm_l4dbot.
Hopefully now (if its worked) you should have an extra survivor standing in the spawn area. When you use this command it also adds a fake player to the bot which just stands around doing nothing. After 30 seconds the fake player will be kicked, allowing another player to play as the bot. Get a player to switch teams from infected to survivors and they should just be able to take control using the left mouse button. If not get them to type sb_takecontrol in the console and that should sort it! Repeat this part to add more players to the survivor team.
Finally, type !admin in chat, goto All4Dead settings, Versus settings and disable versus mode. If its all gone right, you should now be playing a campaign with more than 4 players.
For added fun, get this aswell - http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=752604 . This adds extra special infected to the game. Although it is for versus it will still work for campaign mode and makes the game more challenging and works well when you have more than 4 survivors. It's also frikkin mental We were using it last night and in 3 campaigns we managed to kill nearly 1500 hunters, not to mention the amount of boomers and smokers we killed. It was probably the best and most fun games we've ever had .
Quick thanks to کcŌŕp!Ōŋ (was tested on his server), βëŌωںĻf, Ķă!ŋë & voldermort for helping me test this, thanks to the makers of sourcemod and metamod, and a big thanks devicenull (for the extra players mod), grandwazir (for the All4Dead mod) & djromero (for the Infected Bots mod) for making the plugins needed to do this.
Now go and have some fun!

Think of the possiblities, think of the random fun things we could do!
