Dawn before Dead Massive Community update

Dead before Dawn is a big community map coming soon to Left 4 Dead just in time for Halloween.

This campaign looks extremely polished and has been worked on since the Left 4 Dead beta was out. So naturally I can't wait till I get my hands on it.

Any villuns want to play this with me when it comes out?:)

I was reading l4d mods can work in l4d2 with no problem. I never owned l4d but am (hopefully) getting l4d2, we should so play this.

[Oddjob]

Hopefully they do an update for l4d2. I wouldn't imagine it would be very hard to add some extra ammo/weapon spawns and adjust for the new specials.

According to this sticky thread in the l4d2 forums: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/s ... p?t=884519
L4D2 will work with all community maps made in source SDK. This means we can play Dawn before Dead right?
(BTW, l4d2 is pre-ordered)

[Clay Pigeon]

Sure I'll try it.

Yes.

Alright they finally released it.

There's a ton of download links here: http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/115702


Personally I'm using the Megaupload link since L4Dmods seems to be down.

So why on earth wasn't this released as an easy to handle vpk file?

2 words:

Custom Soundtrack.

It's worth it too.

BTW I played through this kind of with strangers but do any villuns want to run through this?

[/quote]Apparently that would make too much sense.

O ya before I forget, installation instructions:

CLIENT SIDE (i.e Your own pc)
-----------------------------------------------------

Extract the Dead Before Dawn folder to Steam/SteamApps/Common/left 4 dead/left4dead/addons

Start up Left 4 Dead, in the main menu open your console and type: snd_rebuildaudiocache
It will seem as if a map is loading, let it load, if it gets stuck on a full loading bar,
leave it for 5 minutes before CTRL ALT DEL out of it to close it down

If you dont know how to open the console go to options, keyboard and mouse, and enable developers console.
You can now bring the console up by pressing the tilde key (`) which is to the left of the 1 key.

KNOWN BUG - DO THIS TO AVOID IT!
--------------------

There is a known bug with a soundloop that occurs when setting zombies on fire, open the console and type this: bind g "snd_restart"
Anytime you get the soundloop bug, just tap the G key and it will stop. We apologise for this bug, but its a problem within L4D not the campaign.


SERVER SIDE
----------------------------

Extract the CONTENTS of the folder to /left4dead. Pay attention that you extracted the CONTENTS of the DeadBeforeDawn folder directly into your left4dead folder.

INCORRECT: left4dead/DeadBeforeDawn (There must be NO DeadBeforeDawn folder, only the files and folders inside the DeadBeforeDawn folder)
CORRECT: /left4dead

If you install it to the addons folder on your server, it WILL NOT detect it.

does this overwrite the old sound files? stock ones?
