Left 4 Dead 2 Tools!

[Zeta]

CS:S weapons available in game now.

Anyone know how to use the heatmaps feature?

[Psy]

There was a rumour about being able to customize weapons, characters etc for custom l4d2 campaigns, we all know this is not true for current release. While it doesnt sound Valve-ish at all to give that kind of scripting powa I find it reasonable for this to be available once "The Passing" DLC is out (l4d2+l4d1 characters in one campaign).

These SDK upgrades are nice, especially vmf instancing.

They've added a scripting entity called logic_script so maybe this will allow more room for modifications.

this what the rumour was all about though:

addonContent_BackgroundMovie   0   //Provides a replacement for the background movie.

addonContent_Survivor          0    //Provides a new survivor model. 0=false, 1=true, String in quotes if replaces specific single character, i.e. "Francis"

addonContent_BossInfected       0    //Provides a new boss infected model. Break these out?

addonContent_CommonInfected    0    //Provides a new common infected model

addonContent_WeaponModel      0    //Provides a new appearance to existing weapons, but does not change their function

addonContent_weapon          0     //provides new weapons or new zombie killing functionality, i.e. guns, explosives, booby traps, hot tar,

addonContent_Skin             0     //0 if no new skin textures for existing models. 1 if multiple skin pack. String in quotes if specific single skin

addonContent_Spray             0     //Provides new sprays.

addonContent_Map             0   //Add-on provides a standalone map

That's fucking awesome!

I'm surprised at how long it takes to do a full compile of the demo maps even with a "high end" machine

[Zeta]

The swamp map was taking forever for me (hdr, normal vis / rad) with a quadcore and 6 gigs.

Heh, compiling? hello 2004.

[Taylor]

I guess these styleguides are just giant grid-sized rooms. But man, compiling is no fun.

I'm going to be asking all kinds of stupid questions soon. I really want to grab a bunch of brushes and models and export them as a model so I can animate them, though I'm guessing this will be needlessly complex and take 5 different packages. Are tracktrains still unusably laggy online? Oh yes, it begins.

Taylor I guess you can have a look at this: http://www.maximumpc.com/article/howtos ... page=0%2C0

[Seldoon182]

Hell yeah! L4d1 in L4d2 which mean u pay 1 game for two games!

[Nysuatro]

Uuh wasnt valve going to do this already? :s I remember something ... I can be wrong :s

[Seldoon182]

I think that it's forbidden to play the l4d1 content with l4d2 until u buy l4d1... Nevermind VALVe screwed players with l4d2.

Uuh wasnt valve going to do this already? :s I remember something ... I can be wrong :s

They talk about new campaign where the characters from l4d1 will meet those from l4d2.

Someone has done No Mercy, but you can't blow up the petrol station and the finale is busted.
