Note to self, connecting 8 players to 1 team for campaign or survival. Need to test this out tonight.
connect 217.163.30.170:27015 Don't use lobby as it locks to the game mode e.g. 8 player versus connection should be direct as above once 8 players are in, in chat type: /sm_l8d_menu Choose campaign or survival Choose map Game should reload with 8 players on 1 team. --------------------  |

well i think campaign would blow with 8 people in it
 unless! we could have twice as many special infected spawning  but i've played 8 player survival mode b4 and its a real hoot! it's really easy up to about 10mins then the director is able to constantly spawn tanks and you end up with a mega tank fest with accompanying hordes ans SI at the same time LOOOL Happy times :> -------------------- WIP...

tinkering with the spawn ratios is easy enough: twice the players means twice the size hordes
Also beefing up the tank to higher health works fine.. the main problems with this mod is its tendancy to make to server crash or just not work :/ One of the reasons was putting this in place is for when sennheiser eventually send out the headsets - might make a reasonable and quick to organise tournament -------------------- |

we should try it on this map this would be awesome http://www.l4dmaps.com/details.php?file=1274
That map is such a hoot its hilarious -------------------- "Do not touch anything unnecessarily. Beware of pretty girls in dance halls and parks who may be spies, as well as bicycles, revolvers, uniforms, arms, dead horses, and men lying on roads -- they are not there accidentally."
