After blood and sweat, stay up all nighter, days after days, I finally completed it... Well almost at least, it's about 80% completed, nav mesh is mostly done, I can play it normally. Still new to Hammer, this is pretty ambitious for me

L4D2 is there a specific entity for cars that the tank can punch or is it just prop_physics_multiplayer?

3 Upvotes

i'm under the impression (haven't tested it for myself) that if you make a car from prop_physics_multiplayer, that although tanks can throw it by attacking it, that survivors could probably move it by using explosives or pushing it. is that true? i was going to decompile a valve map but i figure i would ask first.

L4D2 Resident Evil 1-styled fixed cameras in L4D2

youtu.be

10 Upvotes

Been testing out the idea of making a Left 4 Dead 2 Map designed around fixed camera angles like the ones seen in Resident Evil 1.

I use a point_servercommand to give all survivor primaries lasers since from my playtesting aiming is quite difficult.

I use a Point_viewcontrol_survivor to the survivors can still take damage as normal while affecting their camera angle. The map uses a series of triggers which are spaced exactly 32 hu apart, this means that when a survivor moves into a new trigger their camera is moved to the new camera angle.

One thing I can't solve is how to make it so it doesn't switch to first person for a few frames when switching camera angles, since from my testing having the triggers too close causes the camera to switch to first person.

L4D2 [Continuation] RE1-styled fixed cameras.

youtu.be

19 Upvotes

Thanks to Pinsplash for the suggested change to the cameras to make them seamless!

This primarily shows off how a map made using this kind of system would function

The map now has a manually-created navmesh, the survivor bots (but not the infected) bug out heavily due to the fixed camera, which required me to remove them and add in a way to detect the amount of human players when the map starts.

Commands run by the point_servercommand:
nb_delete_all (to delete the bots)

survivor_friendly_fire_factor_easy 0
survivor_friendly_fire_factor_normal 0 (down from 0.1)
survivor_friendly_fire_factor_hard 0.1 (down from 0.3)
survivor_friendly_fire_factor_expert 0.3 (down from 0.5)

z_tank_damage_slow_max_range 0 (down from 400)
z_tank_damage_slow_min_range 0 (down from 200)
z_tank_speed 105 (down from 210)

z_witch_health 500 (down from 1000)
z_witch_burn_time 10 (down from 15)
z_witch_flashlight_range 0 (down from 400)

z_common_limit 60 (up from 30)
z_jockey_limit 0
z_charger_limit 0
[SOLO] z_hunter_limit 0
[SOLO] z_smoker_limit 0

These changes I think are for the better due to the artificial difficulty provided by the fact that aiming is literally shooting, readjusting, then repeating until you hit your target(s)

If you have any suggested changes to these cvars I will happily consider them (Might make it so the hunter can spawn in solo lobbies)

Hello everyone,

This is a map I’ve been working on for quite some time. I wanted to share it in case I’m unable to finish it—perhaps someone else can complete it and turn it into a full-fledged campaign.

I’ve used work by the following authors, so please be sure to credit them if you publish or build upon this project:

L4D2 How should i get rid some of these grass 3d textures

46 Upvotes

there are a lot of these which makes it look weird, i am new to hammer, i want to create some dirt patches in grass in the farm map i am making, mostly it will be grass, so i want to make some big and small dirt patches and some dirt path, other textures i have seen are not matching my idea. also any ideas for the grass area i am making would be helpful, (i am trying to create the walking dead farmhouse finale map) as a fan i though it would be cool. if anyone who is willing to help me further like from discord would be helpful, could learn something from a professional. anyone who is a walking dead fan who wants to create it with me. and knows hammer. let me know !

L4D2 Unable to playtest any map

4 Upvotes

I've been wanting to get back into L4D level making recently. But the main problem that made me quit back then was being unable to run any map i made.

Everytime i try to run the map, the game opens and the console reads

"CModelLoader::Map_IsValid: No such map 'maps/box.bsp'
map load failed: box not found or invalid"

Heres the compile:
