So have you put a request in for the latest version to be loaded onto ColdStore? :g:

Could we agree on having one version and informing the members. Seems like there are plenty of versions floating around and few have the right one. Me included.

We always go for the latest version and do try to post that a new one is out and where people can download it from before we play test.
The trouble is that people don't always read the forums :doh:

Thanks Benny.
Maybe give it a test tonight?
I can't make Saturday, out for a curry session.
 
Do we tell the punters or only a select few?

How about we post something on Sunday afternoon. That way we won't have a huge rush of players and we can still fire it over? And a PM to the following tonight?

A post to Charlie type supporting members forum maybe?
QuoteAll,

It's Sunday night and the ColdStore is being picked on again. We are adding the new release of Death Aboard to the map cycle and expect to be testing it around 7/8pm. The server will be restarted before hand, so apologies in advance if you are kicked at that point.

If you want the map, head off and download it. There are plenty of places it's hosted, but you want the beta 0.5. Here's a starter;

Be there, or don't..

Enjoy

OK sounds good. I might not be able to make the early afternoon but will be there in the evening at the very least.

There is a more up-to-date version of Death Aboard, 5.1.
 
It might be worth updating the one on ColdStore and telling people to re-download it?

Dive in mate, if you want to announce I'll try and upload it tonight..to both Meatlocker and Coldstore as the latter seems to fall over more regularly.

OK custom map thread updated.
 
Apparently he has updated the map_list.txt file, or something, that should ensure that the levels swap OK.  :yahoo:

uploaded to Coldstore...

May be easier to copy the files across than re-upload to Meatlocker...(hint)

Cheers boss.......fancy changing the server password and giving it a kick now to save doing it later?

I've let Frenzy know the new pass...we'll need to change and restart it afterward aswell.....

Version 6, including the final map, has now been released as a vpk on l4dmods.com.
I think we need to get this on the servers ASAP and play test it :D
 
Mr Server Admin may have to manually delete the old install first before running the VPK? :g:

There are a couple of other files in the old zip file, but they seem to get absorbed by the L4D code, cos they don't appear on my PC's and I did a full extract.

Coldstore files deleted, downloading now. Might get done before I go, if not....over to you.

There is another version out, this one fixes the annoying 'bots running off at the start' bug, plus a few others.
Get it from the l4dmods link.

Any chance this can be added to the server?
Title: Death Aboard
Post by: Benny on July 15, 2009, 11:30:17 PM
I've uploaded the 6.1 vpk into the addons folder in a separate directory called temp.

Could a higher power please swap the existing deathaboard with the uploaded and I'll notify the unwashed once done - unless you want to do that bit too....

Strangely they have different vpk names, so it is possible to have them both accidentally installed at the same time, but I doubt the server will like it.
Title: Death Aboard
Post by: Benny on July 16, 2009, 05:22:23 PM
Aye, I saw that, that's why I stuck it in a separate folder. Thought the server may have a small hissy fit.

All L4D servers now have the 6.1 version available.
