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

For those who want to place darkwood.vpk prior to custom population add-on, you only need to rewrite addonlist.txt in Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2 to make sure '"darkwood.vpk" "1"' is placed before the custom one

Orgasmic company!)

Hello friends, I’m a player from Russia!) Two hours ago I went through a company and still am impressed! I'm in love with Dark Wood (Extended)! This is one of the best companies I've ever seen! Everything is so well worked out in it that it does not get boring for a second! Each location is dark and creepy! Cinematic insertions made the game look like a real movie! I was worried)) I still hear the groans of those sinners from the ovens! Brrr! I felt uncomfortable throughout the underground prison! Creepy! This card fulfilled its purpose - it scared me to hell! A corpse in a bag in one of the cells - surprised and scared me! If hell exists, it looks like a part of the “prison” of this company! A lot of graffiti and an audio message on the player made the passage even more atmospheric! I would like to know how to get into the room with a bunch of gnomes in the laboratories all the same ?? And what kind of ventilation with a coin from Mario? I never got out there!) A bunch of posters for movies and horror games is also cool! I have not seen all the films before! For example - Session 9! Brrr! Thanks for the advice of the author! I have done in my pants! Haha) Creepy) I will definitely advise my friends to play this company! The author is a great fellow! He did a great job! I will never be able to forget this company, as its atmosphere penetrated me to the depths of my soul! Thank you very much author! You are the best! Health, love and good luck to you!)

I think the new version of this campaign with the custom Population file for special infected conflicts with Rayman1103's Mutation Mod (although I did not rename the file as you suggested). With both installed, the mutation mod does not work properly. Reverting back to an older version (version 1.6.3, the 9/2018 version) seemed to fix the conflict. I suggest that the custom population file be removed. I don't see a need for it at all.

I see there have been some recent updates. None address the problem I have. my VPK is from 09/2018. Here's my issue. when the elevator in chapter 3 gets to the top, it bursts into flames but the chapter does not end. I see the flames and hear zombies but can't do anything else. . . Was this an issue with anyone else? or has it been fixed. . .
