Accidentally overwritten save
In this case you will still have the opportunity to return past save.

Go to Left 4 Dead 2/left4dead2/ems/drawing_system/, you can see the files with names of maps where you saved the lines. Find the right one, there must be 2 files: one with suffix _autosave and w/o. The first one is reserved version that you should use, delete the file w/o suffix and remove suffix _autosave from reserved file.

Is the character drawn on the thumbnail a pre-existing character in media or one of yours?

My bad, I had Michal Bay pack but I didn't left it activated, ignore that...
Also, allright, I will try this later, thanks for the heads up, when I try to use this again I will come back to you.

Well, michael bay pack should conflict with this script, also unsubscribe and subscribe on these addons in the main menu to change priorities of them, so these addons must be below of drawing system in the list of addons
Dwarf Gaming 13 Nov, 2020 @ 11:36am 
There are in there, the save files and even I moving them in and out while the game is on/off it don't do anything.

The scritps I used are many, allthough none conflicts with this one.

The types of scrits I use are:
+uncommon infected spawns
+faster respawn in closets
+weapons scripts
+your player joining notification
+m60 reload/GL on secondary slot
+Left 4 Bots and General Improvements
+Admin System and Menu
+ragdoll survivor death animations
+Take Bot Items
+Reverse Friendly Fire
+Michael Bay Pack(Best of them all lol)

...as far as I recall these are the ones I use.

Weird, this should work correctly, I'll try to check it self, you can disable others addons that related with scripts for the first time, also check folder "Left 4 Dead 2/left4dead2/ems/drawing_system/", there should be files with saved lines

Tried these commands in normal maps of the normal campains and this didn't worked as well.
I was the only one saving the lines, tried single player and hosting locally, asked a friend to do this instead of me and the error persists.
(Sorry for the wall text, idk how I could made this explanation smaller)

After a while using this I noticed something: the !save command creates files allright but the !load don't seem to work after you create another game in the very same stages of the campaings you made the save...so what's the deal with this?What am I doing wrong?

If you need something more specific, here is the thing:

I went on the first part of Resident Evil 1 and drawed some icons all around the map to teach some of the people who don't know what to do, to learn their way around, I did all hints for weapons, puzzles and everything and then used !save before going to the second stage, did the same and then logged out of the game since I needed a break. On the other day I wanted to continue doing it, I was going to show a buddy what I was doing and thing never loaded back.

*obligatory dick pics in servers*
Also this is great for campaings with puzzles when randoms join, now they can actually know where to go...
Sw1ft, for real, you keep surprising us with these AMAZING scripts, I wish I could reward you somehow, but for the time being this simple thank you will have to suffice:
THANKS A BUNCH MAN <3
