***OFFICAL*** Left 4 Dead Thread!

Afternoon guys, I have some news regarding this: My previous post

It seems we have the CFG now running on the server and available to give it a whirl. Essentially its a match config for L4D that will make those "omg boring no tank in 4 map" days a thing of the past!!

I was looking to give it a go tonight, ideally with some of the more experienced guys who usually play and are interested in seeing this CFG. I think it could bring some more lulz and difficulty back into a game which is getting a little easy as Survivor if you have a half decent team!!

I'm guessing I'll start a game around 8-8:30 and hope that some of you are on to give it a try, should be good though! If it's decent enough and the response is good then we can let Dave know and he can enable it on the plugin options for OcUK servers perhaps?

Can it be configured so that some maps definitely have a tank and some are still random or even increase the chance that a tank will spawn? I can think of 1 map for definite that needs a tank on No Mercy whereas the others keeping it random keeps it more interesting. A tank on every level I imagine would soon get boring I'd imagine but if you could increase the chance so it was likely then it might be better.

I'd be up for it tonight.

I'm registering my interest in this :D I'll be around at between half 8 and 9ish most likely. The only maps I can think of where tank is a negative thing are DA1, NM1 and BH1. Possibly DT1 aswell, any way to disable the tank in those?

I'll look at the CFG and ask Ruddles see what he can come up with.

Tbh, with your list of 3 maps, NM1 and DA1 need a tank boring without.

BH1 really doesn't as that map is so open and different it can be won or lost easily. DT1 is the same as BH1 if not a little easier so maybe more chance of a tank on this map.

To be honest the way its been going I'd rather have a tank even if its "not needed" than not have a tank for 4 maps before the finale ;)

I'll see if we can get goign about 8:30 tonight then mate and make sure you get an invite for it!

Tah :D My real reason for no tank on the 1s if possible is to just allow those maps as a gentle(ish) warm up, but you're right in that it's far better to have a tank that isn't needed then none at all. :)
 
Sounds like people like the config file - Knubje, would you mind giving me a copy? :)

Or if you'd prefer to just use your own hosted server from now on, I'll get rid of some/all of the fragM OcUK servers.

Nah keep 2 of em at least :)

The config file is great. No annoying extra medpacks. It could probably do with the extra finale tank being wiped off, but meh it's a small problem. No witches at all either, so that part of the file may need checking.

Need to get seaniboy and decto (whoever hosts the ocuk servers these days) to have this file too :)

Good game all anyway, lots of fun. More on Wed :)

I think I can get you a copy mate, no worries I'll sort that soon and speak to you on steam.

We only have one server belongs to Ruddles and I think there is a fair bit of demand for OcUK games still, so I think maybe you could take the odd one or two down and maybe host a couple, whatever is good!


We just had a game with the new config and to test it, I purposley chose Dead Air as it was boring and rarely any tanks spawn (seems to be the case on the new VS maps).

I really enjoyed it, the replacement of health kits made it a lot more of a challenge and with a tank thrown in on every map, even at the start of the DA Finale (which wasn't needed but still good fun), it just made for such more of an interesting game.

We had no witches but apparently the cfg is set to a 75% chance of them spawning on map 2,3,4 with none on the first or last. Thinknig of tweaking it to make it 100% on those maps.

Also what was cool was that everyone took turns being survivor first on a rotating basis so you were guaranteed two attempts at that and then two attempts as being first as infected - evening the playing field in terms of knowing whats comming.

I think playing this on some of the old school maps will make things a bit tougher.

Only just saw your reply. Looking at the config now :)

edit: Is that link correct?

Thats the link I was given last night by Ruddles and he said it was all there to download. Might have to register though, or search its name elsewhere on the net ;)

It is damn good though! Don't know what Kearny, Lagmeister, etc thought of it?

I'll probably play another game with same CFG tonight!

When I get back from the pointless open day for one of our schools I'll have a proper look :)
 
I agree the config file made things much more interesting and the lack of med kits helped too. The only thing missing was a witch on any of the maps. Also, i'm with Link on whether there needs to be an early tank on the last map (dead air for us) but other than that small point it was good fun.

It could potentially mean a 20 minute game from start to finish for those that get early tanks and manage to kill the survivors though :)
 
yup thought it was way better. Especially the med kits, nothing worse than on the typical third levels where you wear them all down just to find a cupboard full of magic bandages. Last level tank was a bit annoying since no doubt DA NM will be pretty much insta tanks due to the low spawn areas but on DT and BH i think they will be ok.

P.S. Wheres the witch
 
seems you guys all have a custom server so i guess you havent had this problem.
but is it just me or are the vast majority of players on "public" games just dicks these days?
played a public game for the first time in ages today, and i had some random guy screaming at me trying to kick me, cus i knocked a hunter off him, only to be smoked after doing so.
and just generally the mentality of the players now seemingly thinking this is Counter strike and not a zombie game that should be fun
"OMFG FFS WHY'd you jump off the building?!?"
"...cus you guys were all incapped i had 4hp left and a tank right behind me"
this was followed by 4 attempts to kick me.


oh well, was an enjoyable game when nice people played it.

sorry for the rant

You're not alone, Ive posted further up the page how i keep getting kicked from VS games for no reason.

I think I'll take LinktoInsanitys advice and join the OcUK group. Although I've only had a few games of survival mode so I'm not very good.
