I made a second visit to the campaign and took screenshots of all the visual bugs I've found. You can check them at my OneDrive account: 1drv(DOT)ms/u/s!ArHzUfj9zXvvnFkeA2xcq0wLcg27?e=81yGKz

Being Coal'd Blood the very first addon campaign I downloaded and played for Left 4 Dead 1 back in 2009 and 2010, I want to contribute to the process of fixing it by reporting some bugs I found: MAP 1 -Grey Dev Textures inside the room located after passing through the barricade event and before the first set of red stairs, right on the roof above the door. -Missing supplies at Ending Saferoom. MAP 2 -Missing supplies at Starting Saferoom. -Grey Dev Textures at the exiting Saferoom door frame. -Missing glow on triggers for the crane/bridge event and the small elevator event. -Missing medkits and weapons at Ending Saferoom. MAP 3 -Missing medkits and weapons at Starting Saferoom. -Extreme FPS drops and fall damage when going down on the huge elevator event. The first bug may be caused due to the L4D2 Gore System and there being a lot of bodies on the descending elevator. You can see the same thing happen when you open a Saferoom door where you killed a lot of zombies. -Missing windows for Car props. *SUGGESTION: The rock chunk textures of the area where you descended from the elevator look too square-ish, blocky and unnatural. I would suggest remaking them or smoothing the edges a bit. MAP 4 -Missing windows for Car props. -Missing tunnel texture for a road located when you go to your left after exiting out the Saferoom Building. The street collides with a rock mountain. -When the helicopter arrives at the Rescue Moment, you can see a cloned miniature version up in the sky. -At the outro sequence, the skybox clips out to a pitch black tone when the scene is about to finish. *SUGGESTION: Considering the existance of Chargers and Jockeys in Left 4 Dead 2, I would suggest adding some fences at the pathways around the Finale Building. *SUGGESTION: The rock chunk textures of the area where you descended from the elevator look too square-ish, blocky and unnatural. I would suggest remaking them or smoothing the edges a bit. Hope you can succesfully fix them all so the original concept of this campaign gets the love it deserves. I never liked the "No Space 4 Zombies" reimagining that was made anyway.

thank you for this very rare occurrence of how users should give proper feedback and criticism. I will pass this information off to my associate... I believe he's already aware of most, if not all, of this.

You're welcome. I added this campaign to my Watchlist for future updates.

I definitely know he was going to look into the safe room items and commented on that here earlier. As well as had some concern and interest in that lift event. I also mentioned the finale outro stuff and things to him in the past. Some of the others you mentioned sounded like minor oversights in original L4D development. But we could definitely improve upon them for a proper L4D2 port such as your suggestion about finale fences. For all we know, most of that you listed could be unfortunate side effects of it being an incomplete campaign and an incomplete port. But that rock stuff sounds like it might need to be actual new models, we'd have to see what's currently available in the game.

There is a script or teature included on Plan B addon campaign by Rectus that could serve as a base to fix the Huge Elevator bug. At Map 1 there is an intentional endless road area where zombie ragdolls dissapear upon killing them, while on the rest of the map ragdolls keep being generated. You could contact Rectus and ask him for advice or permission to use that script on Coal'd Blood's Huge Elevator area, so that way there are no ragdolls and gibs in there that decrease FPS.

Good in overalls

By kurochama May 2019

Played twice to check if the campaign worked on Singleplayer & Mutation, & the campaign totally works. There's a map with random path generator, & that adds the fun. Bot navigation is fine in overalls, but rather buggy on finale when survivors are heading to the rescue helicopter. Bots choose the long way from the first floor instead of following player to go through the 2nd floor. . Well, here is the review: Pros= - The maps work well. - No texture error - Bot navigation is fine in overalls (very few bot navigation errors are listed in cons). - A certain map uses random path generator so it makes the map unpredictable. . Cons= - Map 2 & 3 have no health kit in saferoom. - Most switches have no glow, like the elevator switches on map 2 & 3, the switch to operate the crane. - There are at least two bot navigation errors found. The first one is on the lift. Bots love to stand on the edge of the lift so players have to push them to the center of the elevator so that they don't fall off the lift when avoiding some zombies jumping from above. The second bot navigation error is on finale. When rescue helicopter comes, players can easily make a shortcut through 2nd floor, but bots take the long way to go down to 1st floor & go up to the rescue helicopter by climbing a truck, & they become easy targets for tank or special infected when they take the long route. . In overalls, it's a playable campaign to enjoy.

Ya these maps have very little wrong with them. the health kit deal is because in one room they forgot the health kits and the other they labeled them as random spawn items and they could show up anywhere on the level. Working hard to get some of this stuff done. I've had to work 25+ days straight at work and finally getting a break. Last night was my first night of in 3 weeks. :) thanks for the testing. Its always nice to have a second set of eyes to spot things. I think there were a couple of missings models too but Im replacing them also. Hang tight it's coming.

Take your time & no need to rush if you're still very busy at work, mr. Daywalkerdave. Don't forget to take a rest. I'm looking forward for the next updates. I'll give a try & renew my review in the next update.

I didn't see any missing models, we probably won't have much to improve except safe room items and maybe the nav. I think also the outro might need some minor adjusting... I think it briefly clips into the sky box at one point or something.

Great Map.

No issues at all. Played on my dedicated server. I really liked the look and flow of this campaign. when I played this I played alone. when there is more than 1 player, It freezes the game after you close a safe room door.

Shortage of Health Kits...

By Ladon January 2017

Well, It is such a nice map, but It's hardly find health kits. Why there is no health kit in the safe room?? It isn't impossible to complete, but damn hard...

One-off Custom Map

By ShineKiaa March 2016

Completed in expert realism with friends. *spoiler alert* Gotta say I quite like the surrounding of the maps, it's not very common and rather unique from other maps to start off the map in a cave-like underground environment. One thing critically needed to fix was the event trigger mechanism IMO. Those lifts and elevators that have to be activated in order to proceed to the next area, just like Valve, has to have it disabled before everyone else is ready so that it doesn't just leave other teammates behind when somebody accidentally pressed the button. It didn't have clear game instruction or any survivor dialogue to make the navigation more clear and the gameplay more interesting. Map 3 the last elevating platform was buggy, we all took fall damage for nothing. Supplies wise, almost all the safe rooms got no kits? No sight of magnum, not sure if there's one in the finale but I guess not. Finale was standard hold-out, not too bad.

Review

By ErrorUnknownGT February 2016

Great experience. I couldn't figure out where to go on map 3, perhaps make it a bit clearer? Other than that, I quite enjoyed it.
