Clavus

Map inspired by the film Dawn of the Dead. Every zombie apocalypse fan should have seen that one at least twice. Vid only shows an early version of the map. More recent screenie here:

Voices by me and our forum-clown Redgord. Acting and chickening out in the middle of a tank fight by Ywa.

Toxic fumes are placed at every zombie spawn Still need to play-test myself. 5 damage a second for each fume source. If you jump right between them you're fucked. Don't go near it!

That's about all the achievements in L4D, already got quite a lot

Toxic fumes have been added to zombie spawn to act as spawn protection.

Two pics from Death Toll campaign:

Left4Dead is now released! Few screenshots of me shooting my way through the No Mercy campaign in singleplayer:

Poison zomb now throws meat gibs for alternate fire. Zombies can eat the gibs to restore health EDIT: Plus, the destructible props feature is working!

Another update to ZS is around the corner, and I think I'll be making this the last big one (yet I kept saying that the last few updates too). Anyway, feature suggestion time! Currently in the works: - Destructible props - !rtd ammo reward is spread amongst all weapons - Ability to toggle music off completely - Different alternate fire for poison zomb - Other things and fixes EDIT: - Forced headcrab to stop flying once it hits a target EDIT2: - Added toxic fumes to zombie spawns Admin things: - Name tracker for people that keep changing names If you have suggestions or comments on the current state of Mr. Green's Zombie Survival, post them now! They'll be taken into account.

sv_cheats 1 z_spawn witch When a server has sv_cheats enabled I always do "z_spawn mob", creating an instant zombie rush on your team. And if they're winning, there's always the more subtle "z_spawn tank"

Woohoo, L4D cvar list

Left4Dead has gone gold (meaning it's finished). People that pre-ordered the game on Steam can now start pre-loading the game to avoid long download times on the day of release, which should be on 18th November, from 8.01 am GMT (12.01 am EST). Can't start my pre-load until I'm home, and I won't be till around 18:00 (it's now 12:10)

University is killing mah time

In Expert, your biggest enemy is not the horde. It's not the Tank or the Witch either. It's your own team. More than often you'll get incapacitated by team-mates because they thought a shotgun blast would only hit the mob around you. Here I present a few tips to avoid these kind of situations: KNOW WHERE YOUR TEAM IS You're not fighting this fight alone, the rest of the team is shooting too. If you see them blasting, don't run in front of them. If you're walking in front and need to back paddle because a mob's coming at ya, don't forget your team is still behind you. SHOTGUN MEANS RESPONSIBILITY Our favourite zombie apocalypse boomstick is also your team-mate's worst nightmare. A shotgun scatters a lot and can easily down half your team if you don't watch out. Use it when you know FOR SURE your team is clear from the blast! USE RIGHT MOUSE Probably the best tip. If you can't shoot, bring on the melee. When you need to fight a zombie mob while your team is right behind it, start bashing right mouse to force the zombies in a direction you want, to finally give them a killer shot. Also very handy to get Hunters off your team-mates without risking to shoot them in the progress. With these tips, your team is bound to be a lot healthier by the time you encounter your next challenge!

Just so you guys know. It should be the coming day. EDIT: it's out.

You all know the problem. Your team is rocking the game on Expert, you're going well until: the Tank. One big bag of muscles ready to tear every bit of you apart. If you even manage to beat the Tank, your 'team' probably diminished to about two men. Now why can't people survive a Tank attack? Quite simple: they don't know how to properly deal with it. Let me write out the Tank's behaviour: he runs for the person that shoots at him. That's it. He focusses on the person that's shooting at him and won't stop till he or she is dead. How do you counter this? Quite simple: do you see the Tank coming for you? THEN STOP SHOOTING IT, even if he downed you! At that point the rest of the team must keep shooting the behemoth till he changes his focus to another person. At that point that person must stop shooting and all three others must engage the Tank with all they got. With this tactic, it's quite possible your team can survive a Tank attack unharmed. Just make sure you lure it in a open space first and spread out so there's enough space to run away.

The virus isn't coming from us, if it's a virus at all.

Well as we've proven in our last game, surviving expert is a though job already. Let alone speed running it

Play around with these, taken from Facepunch None of these have really been tested yet, so I can't guarantee they work. god 1 - Turns on god mode. noclip - Allows you to fly through walls. z_spawn hunter/ tank/ witch/ smoker/ etc. - Spawns any of the special monsters you face in the game/ demo. Now use the command below (nb_rush) after you type this command, "z_spawn mob". nb_rush - Makes all zombies spawned to rush at you. Extremely fun. z_add - Spawns a normal zombie in front of you. sv_infinite_ammo 1 - Unlimited ammo, no reloading. give autoshotgun/ pistol/ molotov/ rifle/ etc. - Gives you any item in the demo. sb_give - Gives your teammates any item you choose to give them. z_health - Changes the zombies' amount of health. 1 for the lowest health possible (anything lower than one, the zombies will not spawn). This does not affect the special monsters. thirdpersonshoulder - Thirdperson over-the-shoulder cam view. Like Resident Evil and Gears of War. thirdperson - Views the player from the behind camera view. Like Grand Theft Auto. create_hairball - Crashes the game. Great fun to play with. ent_fire !self setteam 3 - Changes your team from Survivors to Infected. Now use the "z_spawn" command to change your infected player model. snd_restart - Restarts sounds if it dies during gameplay. cam_idealya -1 - Fixes 3rd person aspect if gun is aiming too much to the right. cam_idealya 1- Fixes 3rd person aspect if gun is aiming too much to the left. z_speed 1000 -- Zombie run speed! director_panic_forever - Do this, then director_force_panic Result: never ending horde Boom - Spawns an active pipebomb under you. Bind it to a key and go play as Bomberman! go_away_from_keyboard - Give control of your character to a bot and spectate. EDIT: PDF with all cvars: http://left4dead411.com/l4d_cvar_list.pdf

As of now, my new self-build computer is officially pwning Basic specs: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 4GB Buffalo PC6400 DDR2 RAM Ati Sapphire HD4850 Western Digital 500GB HDD Coolermaster eXtreme Power 550 Watt PSU I've been playing some L4D with it. My little beast pooped out frames-per-second like a maniac with everything on (very) High and 4xAA.

Damn, that's a though question... when is something NOT weird happening in GMod?

Provide the original image of your example so we can see the difference

Lol.

Indeed, but I guess you're supposed to promote the game in the demo right And it'll be public in half a week.
