Dark Wood (Extended) (Left 4 Dead 2)

- Added Versus mode
- Reduced maps file sizes
- Some areas redesigned for the sake of better looks and/or more challenging experience
- Improved lighting
- Removed some of the cheesy spots
- Adjusted item spawn rates and positions
- Added more wandering commons throughout the whole campaign
- Added a new type of uncommon zombie that replaces Jimmy Gibbs model
- New uncommon have a slight chance to spawn throughout the whole campaign

IMPORTANT NOTE: Campaign now uses a modified Population file for spawning new uncommon infected. For this to work, the vpk file has to be placed first in alphabetical order in your addons folder on your server. Otherwise other campaigns that use custom populations and load before Dark Wood will take priority over it. At least that's what I found during testing. There should be no conflict or anything, but my custom population file will simply have no effect. So it's up to server's owner if they want new zombies to spawn in the campaign and edit the filenames. Campaign is fully playable in any case.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dark Wood is a L4D2 campaign composed of 5 full-length maps. It was designed with the inspiration of horror movies and games such as F.E.A.R, Resident Evil, Silent Hill and more.
It's recommended to enable the Game Instructor in your first playthrough. Also, bear in mind this campaign is not an easy walk. The chapters are very long and sometimes pretty dark.

The survivors find themselves trapped on a small stretch of road at the middle of the night. Fleeing from the infected, they have no choice but to plunge into the darkness of the adjacent forest. They will have a long and dangerous journey through the dark woods, creepy caves, abandoned industrial zones, secret laboratory (which must be destroyed), "Silent Hill" style deep underground prison, ancient catacombs, and finally face their last battle in the church on a flooded cemetery.

Features:
- Five large levels in highly varied environments
- Custom textures, models and sounds
- Unique events
- Easter eggs
- Secret weapons
- Co-Op and Survival modes
- L4D1 survivor set

Too big, too long, too tedious, some good ideas though

By readinisbad4health 3 weeks ago

Pros: -at least it don't crash -bots don't get lost....much -some good ideas . Cons: -1GB for something that don't look that visually impressive -too long, tedious -gets real boring real fast -not enough flavor (guns) . This campaign is easily 2x the length and 4x the disk space, sadly way too long, too little weapons (sometimes we like to dump the Benelli m4 for the spas 12) and ammo and booooooring for what good ideas there are. A shame really, cause there are some good ones, like the Silent Hill inspired map4, which is also when the mod is the buggiest with AI and stingiest with ammo. Playing this in expert feels like a grindfest and a chore in normal. . 50/100

I like this custom campaign but if you play with the bots it's really difficult than you though, cause you know sometimes bot so ****** (didn't shoot the zombie and just taking damage when surounded and also on map 3 (lab) it's pain in the a$$ i play that map 3(lab) almost 1-2days cause always died many times cause bots got incapacitated many times so i didn't make it run to the elevator to escape and the time of lab warning is up..... And on map 4 the most thinf i hate that bots climbing the ladder are strange, i climbing down the bottom floor with bots but suddenly bot climbing the ladder up far away from me, and the finaly when the helicopter arrive i was trying my best to run to the chopper with the bots to escape but some bots didn't climbing to the chopper, they just standing on outside church and taking damage until get incapacitated so i decide to leave them instead saving them and died and play from saferoom again.... But be honest i do love this custom campaign

There is a visual bug at Map 2. When you get into the sewer that leads to the easter egg, there's a missing texture visible while being underwater. My guess is that it was either a reflection of the skybox or an effect. While looking at it this line appears on console: 'Requesting texture value from var "$envmap" which is not a texture value (material: nature/water_coast05_beneath)'
