Left 4 Ravenholm Options

[MonkeyFiend]

Prior to the official SDK coming out am not going to start building maps, it does however make sense to take pre-built maps for other games e.g. team fortress, css and port them into L4D

Now one of the finest games of all-time has some levels that would seem pretty perfect for L4D...

Half Life 2; Ravenholm areas

I've managed to coax this into working but is still very much messy and requires a hell of a lot of texture/model conversion

Pros: prebuilt and wellmade maps
Cons: requires approx 1.35gb of files, some events don't work, zombies don't spawn properly, would breach copyright and server contracts to use

When built, I suspect using this on our servers won't attract too much attention.

I need to get some time (possibly this weekend) when Tess isn't about to put some proper time into it

Will try and post some screenshots this weekend

not without some serious mucking around, it would be the L4D horde HL2 map

When importing HL2 models I found it makes everything run very slowly, I assume the L4D is lower polycounts etc., to allow for more of them on the screen

Anything requiring physics manipulation has also been a nono so far, I've had to remove phyics tiggered door and place a couple of items in places where you'd normally move boxes to jump on.

Still requires a lot of work before it's useable though
