Playtesting - Sunday Nights!

[Benny]

Sunday is new map testing night, dependent on weather and other factors.

Keep an eye on this thread, if you can't join, you probably have the wrong map!

Is there no autodownload through the server?

Not for me there wasn't and I had to change games cos my pc takes forever just to load and exit L4D it became useless to try and play :sad:

What is the problem using the link the first post of this thread?

[DuVeL]

Just asking...
 
Downloading now

[Gone_Away]

Bit of weirdness.. managed to come through at the end of a round and when it was completed we all got kicked. then I joined and was kicked again. then I think we all gave up.
 
Not sure if that was a server issue or map issue?

Only problem for me was as I mentioned, my pc takes forever to go in and out of L4D.

Was there another new map played because I could not get in after the end of the first map?

There seemed to be some strange flaws in the map code that caused the survivors to have out of body experiences.

And as posted by Ninja, the map kicked us out a few times. Possibly down to the same code, we've seen similar problems when myself and Sn00ks were playtesting earlier in the week.

That would explain a lot! :blink:

Got the map downloaded and installed but spent a hour waiting to a spot hehe, ahh well maybe another night. I hope you guys had fun

I've posted on the L4DMAPS site about the problems, as have a couple of others. As this seems to be an active work in progress I have high hopes that they'll fix this issuette because I think this would be a good versus map, small corridors, big open spaces, zombies, it has it all.

Considering that the SDK for L4D haven't been released yet all custom maps are sandboxes i.e. you need to spawn enemies by console command. The maps that are circulating now are based on the SDK from the Orange Box which lack some of the scripting necessary for L4D.

We just have to wait for the real thing.

I think you can actually get all the entities etc set up in Hammer properly now, which means you can add the ai director entities required to have a working map without using console commands to spawn zombies.

I've followed the steps to set it up and it does indeed seem to import all L4D entities, models and textures correctly into Hammer.  Haven't tried compiling a map yet though.

would be interesting to chain some cs maps together. cobble to dust to office...

I think we will need to tread a fine balance here. we need to keep it as vanilla as possible, but have the odd go at a new map if ones released.
