Can someone please confirm the links in the top post are the latest ones for the server?

For whatever reason the link to Death Abroad is not working for me.

Anyone got another?

6.1 installed on all servers, please download and verify.....

I can't "run/extract" the vpk-file. Anyone know how to do this?

[Dr Sadako]

Nevermind. I sorted it using the tool found on this page.

[OldBloke]

My understanding is that the vpk file simply needs to be dropped into the add-ons folder.

Rumour has it that the server should deliver it automatically if you do not have it installed - doesn't work for me tho.

[Benny]

I was able to just run it direct, thanks for the link though Mats, appreciated.

I posted up in a hurry, will add some more detail next time around.

DeathAboard 6.1

[Sn00ks]

Coal'd Blood has now been loaded on ColdStore.
It has a versus map but I think it is primarily Co-Op only.
Testing has begun.

Death Aboard v7 is out, maybe update the servers?

Link to download site

[GhostMjr]

We going to use that version or not?

I fancy playing that tonight

[GhostMjr]

Just tried version 7 as a co-op run through.

From what i can see level one start has been altered  for about the first 1/4. They have opened it up and made it more appealing to smokers to punish straggler survivors. Although this could be as its co-op and not versus.

The second level also has alterations when starting the crescendo to enter the parking lot. You now need to go into the sewer to flick a generator switch to allow you to start the crescendo. This might not be new but i can't say i have noticed it before.

Theres also a new death aboard soundtrack in the release too.

Version 7 - 30th August 2009

In Death Aboard you start out in a prison and work your way out to the nearest docks area. From here, you board a stranded ship and finally to an island where there will be a lighthouse as a finale.
