Map Testing

[OldBloke]

I'm going to post on the main forum but basically I don't see the point of the password change, so will just point the file links and a proposed time.

Thoughts?

As only those who have the map can connect then I agree that a pw change is not needed.

I've got visitors later today so might struggle to be there. Have fun :thumb:

Had a quick run through of the Death Aboard Versus maps and it looks ok.
The co-op map part 1 crashes the server.

I'd suggest we stick to the vs flavour and then go from there. I'm not sure how others do it, but the easiest way to change level other than HLSW is to;

console;
changelevel l4d_vs (then keep hitting down till you find the one you want)
hit return - it will ignore you.
then hit the up arrow and add rcon in front of it. It'll then stay there for the session.

I'm going to be late on, my lad has projectile 'arris.

Once he's in bed I'll join. In the interim, I've checked the maps on versus and they look ok, not tried the co-op yet. Password remains unchanged. Don't start with the co-op deathaboard, it's screwed.

I'll try and remove it now, but just in case I fail.

EDIT - removed from server

I ran the Death Aboard co-op on my own dedicated server and it ran fine, swapped between maps and everything.:g:
 
The other map you had listed, City Naniwa, is co-op only, hence the reason it didn't work for versus. :doh:
 
Other campaigns listed on www.l4dmaps.com that support versus are:-
 
Dead City (one out of five maps completed)
The Mortuary (one out of five maps completed)
Spray and Pray (one out of x maps completed)
Orange (All five levels completed, no textures just a test campaign)
and
Dead before Dawn (yet to be released)
 
None there worth trying, yet.

Odd....I'll reload all the maps onto the server later, perhaps a corrupt file somewhere..


With regard the testing, I think it went well. I'd be happy to have the map on the server for use as and when.

I'd suggest that Sundays be random map night and all other nights we stick to the main maps for now. Once the final maps of the campaign are released we can then look to fast-download and enable in the rotation?

There are of course caveats, if there are 3 of you on and it's midnight, do what you like

There's a new beta for Death Aboard, can it please be uploaded to the server?

Its there but fastdownload does not work for L4D because they haven't enabled it in code :doh: - wasted an hour of my life looking at that.

Each user will need to download the files themselves.

Let's get it on then!!

Downloading now, I've been missus'd all weekend, it's enough to make me want to puke....all over all of you.

Found this campaign http://www.l4dmaps.com/download.php?file=70
Dead City. Seems to be getting some good reviews. Fancy giving it a play test on Sunday?


It's abit of a huge download 422MB so might be a bit too big?

[Benny]

Let's do it.

I'll download tonight.  Are we all happy to add the other campaign to the circulation? We just need the mod to stop it binning the server at the end of each.

[Sn00ks]

I think for a bit of variety we should add it. I think the concensus is that the levels are good and it is just the swapping between them that is the problem, at the moment. Hopefully the mod will fix this?
