Trying some custom maps

**Exploding_Silver** · 07-25-2009, 04:42 PM

I am trying some custom maps right now
I am in the L4D teamspeak channel if you want to join me

I am trying Coal'd Blood and dam
hopefully there are servers up for them

installation instructions here

good all round maps website is www.l4dmaps.com

good games with bigeye & kebab & me & PM07SNV
its pretty straightforward to install them
2 tips for install
1) put them in 'addons' folder (with the text file) not 'add-ons' folder
2) put just the file in 'addons' and no sub folders eg addons/map.vpk

I would give Coal'd Blood a score of 4 out of 5 and Dam a score of 4.5 /5

overall I would say its pretty easy to download + install + play and enjoy

I will be trying more maps soon !

Yeah, Coal' Blood is not ready yet. I think it was 3rd or 4th level when the map was just the 'skeleton' of the map with dev textures. First and 2nd level (I think) were quite good. Third level had some errors with the horde navigations and horde spawns when someone pressed button etc.

Dam It was quite good. Lots of stuff to explore. We didn't survive till the end though. Quite good map though.

tonight at 9pm GMT (4pm EST) I will be playing Death Aboard, meet up on teamspeak in L4D channel

come along and join in the fun

note: the website says its a bsp file, but its a vpk file that is easier to install and run
I have tested the install and it runs the campaign

This game is more fun when you don't know where your going.. New maps ftw!

Was a shame I lost all VOIP during the last round on DAM, but maps were good fun and interesting layouts.

....

yes the game was great fun again, just like when it first came out
exploring new maps in coop is the buzz
so, for me, I imagine once a month trying all the new maps, is the best way to enjoy this game

And ofcourse I go and forget that I signed for Zhohar's TGU, ah brilliant. I'll see how I do this as I'd really like to get back into l4d, as haven't played seriously for a while

message me in steam Silver if you can't find 4th guy and I'll try to come.
