I will keep this list updated as more custom maps become available on my servers.

Any more ideas please feel free to list. Note that only completed (or near-complete) will be loaded onto my servers, then I don't have to constantly update them as much.

Sweet, was wondering when we would start using custom maps. Death aboard is brilliant but extremely difficult and you need decent players

bledd · 3 Aug 2009 at 12:04

personally i think the 'COD4' level from death abroad needs to be straightened out, instead of having the funky non flat surface it has now

either that, or remove a lot of the obstuctions inside the ship, hunters bang into everything

prUnE · 3 Aug 2009 at 13:16

To install them I had to just copy them into the add-on folder.

Had a quick go on central dark and death aboard.

Central Dark seems a little too easy for survival.

The first chapter of Death Aboard is fun and very well built, but seems a little too long.

linktoinsanity · 3 Aug 2009 at 14:03

Just tried the 1st chapter of Coal'd blood and Night Terror. Both seem reasonably well made, so might have to think about uploading them as well as the updated version of Death Aboard at some point. May well play a proper game later, when I'm not at work

if anyone is up for joining me (I'll probs just host it locally on my pc for the custom map coop).

Pookie Bear · 3 Aug 2009 at 17:12

That Blood Rails was pretty good fun - at first I thought the map was tiny, but there's a massive half-hidden area - and restock points all over the place. Sadly enough, I got my first silver medal, but in my defence, I've had less than a handful of games

Looking forward to getting some more under my belt, I have to say. It's a little over the top when two tanks come 'round the corner at the same time, but I suppose that's how it goes sometimes

linktoinsanity · 3 Aug 2009 at 23:01

Just played through Death Pull. Awesome fun. A couple of bugs here and there in the lighting, but nice and refreshing. Would be horrible for infected on versus though!

Mark A · 4 Aug 2009 at 02:05

I cant seem to download DEATH PULL from the link provided, it downloads a file thats 192kb.

EDIT: managed to get it to download by clicking save target as.

DampCat · 4 Aug 2009 at 08:58

a Helms Deep l4d map? hah. I hope it's better than the CSS one

tbz_ck · 4 Aug 2009 at 09:18

Nice, gonna have to try some of these.

Booner! · 4 Aug 2009 at 09:51

Death aboard is well worth playing through with a decent team. It's hard and long (ooo errr), but enjoyable.

bledd · 4 Aug 2009 at 10:50

Night Terror is great from what I've seen so far, level 2 is dead funny

I played the Coal'd Blood the other day, the finale map is MASSIVE and spoils it imo..

spoonjaffa · 4 Aug 2009 at 22:07

Dam no dedicated hosts for helms deep!! its sucks having to run it on my slow connection!

linktoinsanity · 5 Aug 2009 at 11:44

Updated with Back to School campaign. Been playing it today, good fun

Quick web page to illustrate the servers, maps, plug-ins and server rules.

Any corrections required please let me know.

Nice, ruddle = Ruddles though

Also add the infected bots plugin (all ocuk servers) and add the cevolink config for versus on ocuk 3-5 please

I'll take a look at that smoker damage plugin, but I was having trouble getting it to work before.

I'll take a look at that smoker damage plugin, but I was having trouble getting it to work before.

The smoker plug-in was a doddle and is tested working on OcUK7. All I did was copy the smx file into the plug-ins folder L4D\Left4Dead\addons\sourcemod\plugins, restarted the server and it all worked. It automatically adds a config file into L4D\Left4Dead\Cfg\SourceMod folder called L4D_Cloud_Damage.cfg for you to tweak the settings.

This plug-in is a god-send, no longer are survivors able to camp in one spot during a panic event. If they kill a smoker in close proximity, then they have to move or suffer 2hp damage a second until the smoke cloud is gone.

It opens up a whole new tactic for the smoker.

EDIT: Page updated with name correction, CEVOLink, L4D Infected Bot Plug-in, ProMap.

This the one?

If so I'll give it another shot at some point.

Yup. I've added links to all the plug-ins, mods, configs on the motd file as well to assist other admins looking for the same files. :cool:

linktoinsanity · 6 Aug 2009 at 12:56

Updated the OP to reflect that the maps listed are now on ocuk5 aswell as 3+4.
