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.

has anyone tried this yet???

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 :>

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

well that maps in the SM map pack (see post somewhere else) and is loaded onto server #2

problem withthe custom maps is that everyone has to have them
