I'm a bit confused about the "AllowOnAllGamemodes" setting. Would it imply you can also do continuity of what weapons you had in the previous campaign (Ex. L4D2 Survivors' Dead Center weapons still applies to The Passing) to the next for the other official campaigns? Or mutations? Sorry for being dumb and if this comes off aggressive.

I can see how I didn't clarify what the setting did enough.
On gamemodes that are not Campaign or Campaign-like mutations (like Versus) it'll only spawn the dead survivors' bodies and equipment. The alive survivors and their equipment will not spawn.
AllowOnAllGamemodes disables that check so the alive survivors will spawn on all gamemodes.

The equipment being saved from Dead Center to The Passing is a whole mod concept separate from SPC. It's possible for me to modify SPC and make another mod that saves weapons across all campaigns, but I'm not ready for the scope of such a big mod.

Moved Technical Stuff to a separate discussion.

A data.cfg file will be generated into Left 4 Dead 2/left4dead2/ems/s_p_continuity when the Sacrifice data has been written.
You can erase or delete it to go back to random data files, but it is not recommended to edit it unless you know what you're doing.

TWO data_random_*.cfg files will be generated into Left 4 Dead 2/left4dead2/ems/s_p_continuity if the mod detects that dontgenerateranddata.txt does not exist. Once generated, it will automatically create the dontgenerateranddata.txt file.
The new data_random_*.cfg files will overwrite any existing files of the same name in the folder!
Check this discussion for a list of these random data files.

A settings.cfg file will be generated into Left 4 Dead 2/left4dead2/ems/s_p_continuity

The addon has functionality on all gamemodes and maps, but for PvP gamemodes like Versus it is automatically disabled by Valve.
As usual.

To make it work in Versus on your local server, right-click on Left 4 Dead 2 in your steam library, select Properties, click on the Installed Files tab, then click on the Browse... button.
Go to left4dead2/cfg/ and open addonconfig.cfg with a text editor or Notepad.
Finally, edit this line:
"versus" "1"
to
"versus" "0"

If you're making a custom edited Sacrifice campaign, to allow custom support from this addon, you only need to have the original name of the map as part of the map's name.
