---Left 4 Dead Custom Campaigns List---

[arc@css]

I think you need to enable it in options.

Which maps/campaigns should I download for L4D2, plz? Also how do u use console commands? Is there a console key?

Refer to my first post (Underneath L4D2) for the ones that are on my servers and look here: http://www.l4dmaps.com/l4d2/ as well for others.

The console key is the ¬ button next to 1 on Qwerty keyboards, but you may need to enable it in options.

Edit: Forget the next paragraph sorted. How do I find the OcUK server? I tried the commands and I noticed either Frenchtart or OcUK come scrolling up but no idea how I would join that server still.




"INSTALLATION:

1. Install L4D2 Add-on Support if you haven't got it already (Steam -> tools)

2. Extract the files into your left 4 dead 2 folder*
(Steam\SteamApps\common\left 4 dead 2\)

3. To enable the custom soundtrack type: "snd_rebuildaudiocache" in your ingame console
(takes a while to load, sometimes you must quit through console after loading is complete)

4. Play!"

I used the "snd_rebuildaudiocache" command and left it for a minute or two with the sound looping, and figured it crashed the game. I ctrl-alt-delete and end the l4d2.exe then I tried a single player campaign map and there was no sound. I have tried the command again to give it more time but the progress bar is at 0% and I've tabbed out to type this.

I might have to find the "audiocache" and delete it so steam redownloads it. How long does the command take usually? I've got a quad core 3.8Ghz cpu.


Edit:

Just checked the console and it says:


progress 10000/11267 (88 %)
progress 10100/11267 (89 %)
progress 10200/11267 (90 %)
progress 10300/11267 (91 %)
progress 10400/11267 (92 %)
progress 10500/11267 (93 %)
progress 10600/11267 (94 %)
progress 10700/11267 (94 %)
progress 10800/11267 (95 %)
progress 10900/11267 (96 %)
progress 11000/11267 (97 %)
progress 11100/11267 (98 %)
progress 11200/11267 (99 %)
Touched 11267 cached files
Elapsed time: 104.52 seconds


However its still on the loading screen with progress bar at 0%.

Edit: Nevermind sound is back!

If you joined the ocuk steam group in L4D2 you can now select steam group server when you start a game. Just select either ocuk1 or 2 for vanilla gameplay with the custom maps.

Alternatively enable developer console, press ¬ and then type:

mm_dedicated_force_servers 94.23.222.136:29021,94.23.222.136:29025

[Oh Ed not again.]

Thank you for mirroring those, the original links creep down at 50-70k. Getting 800-1mb from yours.

No worries. I realised this when I downloaded it, just had to get them up and running on my servers first then I uploaded to the webspace so others in ocuk can grab them. (Needs to be left overnight to upload these.)

 

[Oh Ed not again.]

Damn UK broadband and it's narrowband upload speeds...

Still makes no difference at the moment, Steam is completely broken for me. Can't even get connected, getting "NO CONNECTION" at the bottom of the client.

Just what I need to get me back into L4D2

Been away for far too long, downloading the full house

Cool. There are other maps around btw on l4dmaps, but those are the ones on my servers...

 

[Drukk]

Downloaded the lot in about 30 min, maxed my connection out, thanks for hosting.

 

[twist3d0n3]

can't believe i haven't played a single custom map yet... on it like donkey kong!

 

[linktoinsanity]

Just for those L4D1 players out there I have also mirrored the L4D1 custom maps on my server. Here's the link: http://www.linktart.co.uk/_files_/l4d1_maps/

The first post has also been updated.

 

[linktoinsanity]

First post updated to reflect new featured map City 17 and showing the IP of LTUK 4. Please note that No Mercy will be removed soon as it's coming out officially from Valve anyway. To play please use the mm_force command as shown in the first post.

 

[linktoinsanity]

No Mercy has now been removed from the download server for L4D2 in light of the new DLC including it officially anyway. It has also been removed from LTUK1&4, though it is still on LTUK2 for the time being so that it can still be played by those who already have it and want to try it out.

Heaven Can Wait II will be updated to the latest version over the course of this weekend.

EDIT: Updated.

 

[linktoinsanity]

First Post Updated.

Dead Before Dawn Now Available for L4D1 players.

Yay, zombie cheesecake, downloading now. Looks like they fixed a lot in this release.
