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

The thought of 16 player versus has sparked my interest in L4D again. Anyone mind giving a brief guide on this whole 'search key' thing? I never tried it back when i first got the game.
 
Ok guys, more info on what the config file actually does. (may be worth admins typing: rcon exec superversus.config when they start a game. It should be running already, but just in case.)

1) 8 vs 8 versus mode. Could have up to 18 players really, but 16 is enough strain for the server methinks.
2) Extra Infected. More zombies should spawn and it has even been rigged so that you should get extra tanks/witches. One possible bug from this is also reduced spawn times for infected, but we'll see.
3) Difficulty locked to advanced. With 8 survivors it would otherwise be too easy I think. We'll see what this does. Can be changed at a later date...
4) Steamgroup/IP connect Only.
5) No voting please. The options may screw up the server. If you would like a different versus map, ask an ingame admin to change it.
6) Cevo changes such as guranteed tanks and witches and lack of medpacks are all in this config.

Hope it works. Enjoy :D

Also, the search key is the method that you choose which server to connect to from lobby. Not available for this 16 man server.

Me too :)

It's fairly simple really.

1) Start a lobby
2) Bring up the console and enter "sv_search_key ocuk"
3) Press return
4) Close the console
5) Continue your lobby as normal
6) When your lobby is full you click start game
7) When the lobby searches for a server it will automatically look for one of the OcUK Left4Dead steam group servers

However, bay far an easier way to do it is to make sure that you've added Link to Insanity and Knubje (I'm not sure who else organises the games?) and let them know that you want to play. They'll sort all that stuff out for you and just invite you to the game/invite you to a chat window if it's going to be for super versus mode.

Cheap enough for what I need. Comes with noise-cancelling mic so should do the job nicely.

What do you use?

I might be able to sneak a game tonight - not sure..

Nice mic, and headset will help give you advanced warning of witches etc...

My mic is: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SP-016-LG&groupid=702&catid=22&subcat=206

It was a fiver or so cheaper when I bought it 3 months ago. Oh how the price has hiked. Good mic though. :)
 
GG last night link with some of the guys.

Death Toll finale sucked though, letting us play survivor and then going into "COOP" mode and taking us back to lobby :(

I added you to my friends the other day Huddy and I had some other guys invite me to their friends. Looking to get a game with some of you guys soon!

Should be good for a game tongiht after 8pm.

Anyone who's available for trying out my 8vs8 mod tonight would be greatly appreciated. To start with I want 16 players on it at around 6ish. No game necessarily, just want confirmation that we can all connect alright, as some aspects of the plugin say that only 8 people can connect, whilst my config is a rewritten 8 survivor survivor config (with more added), which does seem to work, so in theory...

Also OCUK3 should be fixed this eveing so if anyone wants a normal versus game, can you please use the search key ocuklink and let me know how it runs? Odd lag, not bothered but if it starts lagging like hell and its the same for all players, then I do want to know. I would test it myself, but I'll probably be busy with the superversus server. Thanks :)
 
Cheers to those who helped test earlier. We think we've identified and resolved the issue now - so in tonight's testing you should be able to see some decent action :)

Also possibly found a way around the lobby issue we mentioned too.
