Hi guys I found something last night which is quite useful. You may have noticed that sometimes the HH vs servers switch over to campaign mode. You may have tried to change them back by using the console command:

'callvote changemission hospital_vs' (or farm_vs)

This does change the map but it limits the total amount of players to 4 not 8 as it should be for vs. In the past the only was to do this properly was to badger an admin into resetting the server for Vs mode. But no longer!

To change the server to full vs mode you can do the following with more than 1 player.

Step 1: Open console and type "callvote changemission hospital_vs"
Step 2: Have a human player on both sides. Survivors and Infected.
Step 3: Survivors kill AI and then themselves.
Step 4: Teams swap automatically, repeat above step
Step 5: Let the server load the new map (stage 2)
Step 6: Callvote return to lobby
Step 7: Join server from steam group servers or openserverbrowser console. Not from the lobby.
Step 8: Enjoy playing

With 1 player it's very slightly different:

Step 1: Open console and type "callvote changemission hospital_vs"
Step 2: Join surivors, Kill yourself
Step 3: Teams swap automatically, rejoin survivors and kill yourself
Step 4: Let the server load the new map (stage 2)
Step 5: Join infected
Step 6: Callvote return to lobby
Step 7: Join server from steam group servers or openserverbrowser console. Not from the lobby.
Step 8: Enjoy playing

I just tested it and it works fine.
Enjoy.

Does the spawn distance etc for infected still function correctly? With some of the methods it can mess up these settings and the server needs to be restarted. Please check if you can spawn normally as infected after this and are not limited to spawning almost twice the normal distance. If so great find, it'll stop me having to restart the servers almost constantly if you guys can do it for yourselves.

Not sure about that one yet mate. Will have to test it with a bunch of people to find out. The source didnt mention any weirdness like that, so I reckon its all good.
