City of the Dead (COMPLETE, L4D) (Left 4 Dead)

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Unfortunately I can't keep updating this map to be the same as L4D2. I will be releasing one final update to bring it current alongside L4D2 but that will be the last update that changes the map. However, I WILL continue to fix bugs with small updates every so often.

The Survivors leave their hiding spot in a set of apartments and head off to the local mall in hopes of an evacuation. When they arrive at the mall they find that the military have completely abandoned it and things had gotten out of hand. Now they must get to the mall's rooftop and attempt to get rescued.

This is my first finished campaign!

The map is now complete but will still be getting updates adding new content such as areas.

Credit to Bianca on Steam for all the help with this campaign.

===================================================================================================

IMPORTANT: The City of the Dead L4D1 Support is REQUIRED for this map to work. This was the only way I could get the campaign to function as intended.

If you don't have the City of the Dead L4D1 Support get it from the external link.

How to install:

Download the RAR file named "City of the Dead L4D1 Support" from the external link.

Extract the folder inside that RAR file to your Left 4 Dead addons folder.

Download the VPK for the map from GameMaps.

Move that VPK to the addons folder.

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

This setup isn't ideal, however it has some advantages:

- Updates to the map should be quicker to download.

- Updates to the support can be done to make it work better.

- Updates will be a lot easier to release alongside L4D2 Version.

- And lastly updates to the support and actual map can be done separately as needed.

crashing too much and too much missing textures and errors

By SerenityRose last month

this map crashes no matter what part of the map I played there are missing textures and errors every and the intro it just stuck on a sideways error this seems like a great map but sadly I'll have to give this a 1 star I'll revisit this once the problems are fix. sidenote: I have look for the Rar file that is talked about but can't find it anyway as there is no link if a link can be given that would be great til then this is what I'll have to give this map.

I think it's a bit unfair to rate it one star because you couldn't find the download which is on the External Link/Mirror when you click download as is said in the description. I've put another link to the stuff you need to download for this map in the changelog.

SerenityRose last month

the one star isn't just cuz of the missing link it's cuz of the glitch intro and crashes when i play a map to review i give it a fair score i don't half ass it so if things like glitch intros or glitch finale make it hard or impossible to beat or even play i also take in account if the map makes the game crash and when it crashes i'm sorry if you don't like the rating i gave it but i don't hold back however i did said that i will give it another shot once the glitches and crashes are worked out. but til then i have to be truthful with how it was and for me the intro glitch and when i try playing from the second map i didn't get far til it crash me. if did crash on the second map then i would at least gave it 2 stars but since that's what happen i put one.

Brian78456 last month

It crashed because you didn't have the stuff required for it. That's my fault for not making it clearer how to get it. I'm not that bothered by the review, I just wanted to point it out. If you do play it again I hope you have a better experience with it.

Good campaign, but found the one of the bots occasionally like to get stuck near the closed elevator doors in the beginning of Level 1. I also found they didn't hop into the rescue chopper in the finale either. Has anyone else had this problem?

Brian78456 last month

The NAV needs a bit of tweaking so the bots work better. I'll be doing that with the next update to hopefully improve them.

ivanardian last month

Right, i forgot to mention that too. In my case francis always stuck near the closed elevator doors and yeah the bots didn't get into the helicopter.

This one still has the crashing issue that i was mentioned before at l4d2 version. It crashes to the main menu when starting the campaign from the first map and crashing to the desktop when starting the campaign from map 2. Starting the campaign form map 3 & 4 have no problems.

Brian78456 December 2018

Okay, sorry about that. I'll try and fix the crashing. I'm having a lot of trouble with the L4D1 version.

Brian78456 December 2018

My game doesn't seem to crash at all with the L4D version, do you have mods installed? Also does it crash once it loads, or just as soon as you click start game?

ivanardian December 2018

it is related to the string table dictionary. I have the same problem with the l4d2 version before, but you have fixed it in the l4d2 version. Also if i start the campaign from map 1 it crash to the main menu before the loading is finished.

ivanardian December 2018

I think i have found out that the crashing issue is caused by a mod named dialogue fixer, still trying to find out if there are other addons that probably make the game crash. Ohh and also the intro music doesn't start each time i play the campaign.

Brian78456 December 2018

Ah okay I thought I had sorted the stringtable thing. I'll quickly fix it and upload it as soon as I can. Sorry about that.

Brian78456 December 2018

Also I'm not sure what could be going on with the music but I'll also take a look into that. Thanks for pointing out the issues it'll help make it a better campaign overall!

ivanardian December 2018

you're welcome. I really appreciate your hardwork for an old game like L4D. Overall, this campaign is one of the great custom campaign for L4D. Those issues are the only downside, however the campaign itself is amazing, i really like it. I hope you will be able to sort things out for this campaign.

Brian78456 December 2018

I released an updated version which should have stringtables in now and hopefully that'll fix the crashing.

ivanardian December 2018

Thanks a lot, it is now working really fine, still though the south of human.wav music doesn't start at the beginning of the campaign, the corpse at the beginning campaign only drops pipe bomb, and the alternate way by jumping through the elevator never open, but those are something minor i guess. The most important thing is the campaign is working very well. Againg thank you for the awesome campaign.

ivanardian December 2018

Apologize for the typo i made XD

Brian78456 December 2018

I'll try and figure out what's up with the music, and add more variation to the items the bodies drop. The elevator path is actually intentionally disabled on the L4D1 version because I can't stop the Survivors from taking damage, but I will be adding more dynamic pathing that works with both.

ivanardian January 2019

I think those are all the issues i found in this campaign. Overall, it is an amazing work. I will not hesitate to give at least 4,5 stars for this campaign. Very nice job.

daywalkerdave1963 January 2019

What's going on in your elevator? I haven't played your campaign but had some experiences of my own with elevators. Most of it caused by people jumping. It's a long known bug starting back to no mercy. I had two different issues (one in suicide blitz l4d1 port) and a different problem with a l4d2 campaign elevator. Both problems were caused by players jumping in the elevator. Easiest way I've found is to put a (trigger_playermovement) brush in the whole of the elevator shaft so they can't jump. That way they don't fall through the floor or end up on top of the elevator. That brush has a flag just for this purpose. Don't know if this helps. Was just reading comments this morning before I went to work. Peace.

ivanardian December 2018

Btw, where is the external link?

Brian78456 December 2018

When you click the download button for the map it should have a option at the bottom that says external link with another download button. It should go to a Dropbox page with the stuff on it

ivanardian December 2018

Ohh i see i kinda missed it when downloading the map XD

Brian78456 December 2018

Haha, there might be a few issues here and there cause I had to get all the stuff in by hand so if you see anything that needs fixing up I'll get right onto it!

Brian78456 December 2018

L4D Version of this will be getting updated very soon. I know the content it needs being separate is a bit of a pain but it'll make things a lot simpler in the long run.

ivanardian December 2018

Whoooo!! It's finally here Going to try it now XD
