L4D Survival map - We Don't Go To Ravenholm

Hello,

L4D_SV_RAVENHOLM

This is a port from HL2DM to L4D SV of a map of mine originally called dm_bloom. Themed after one of my favorite chapters in HL2 - Ravenholm. truly one of the most memorable and epicmost themes in HL2, which is, still, hands down my favorite game.
Obviously hl2dm and l4d are different in almost every aspect and so the port required quite a lot of shifting and rebuilding of whole sections, adding and removing of some, as well as adjusting the level to L4D nav system. ..at the end of the which, and after a few days of playtests -the map is in last beta. all that's left are some server-side and directory-wise modifications - but gameplay is complete and the map is sweet.
It might be a part of a campaign at some point but i'm currently working on one so who knows.

DL it HERE
to play, simply unpack the zip and double-click on the VPK file. it will auto-install the map in your addons folder. and that's also where you will find the map - launch L4D and go to Extras/Addons.

A bit of pimpage..














P.S.
and to all the questions i've been getting lately about my leaving dm - it's not true. i'm just enjoying myself and exploring new things.

hope you enjoy.

Dude, you just won the internet.

Valar, u r crazy mothafu!!!!!!!!!!!!
How did u do that?

awesome job once again!

looks very nice
will put this on the server to play with my mates

so, i just played your map
first of all, it looks great
i liked the DM map and this one too

now, some things i found during gameplay
maybe you know some things, you'll just have to see for that As you can see, 2 bots didnt come with me.
They stayed there till their death.
Here is where i jumped across.
No zombies can get to me here, they're just standing still.

thx.

@pic #1 - that's my bad. the ladder is bugging out the bots. fixed in next version.
@pic #2 - i'm not sure i follow. you're supposed to be able to jump over there.
@pic #3 - they sure pawnd our a$$ right there last night lol. yeah, man they can get there no problem. only explanation i get think of is L4D plays diff everytime. the game director works in mysterious ways lol. having said that, i will see to add a few more infected ladder here and there just to be on the safe side.

Last 3 pictures:
So it's very easy to survive for 10mins or higher.
These are, i think, most of the bombs in the map.
As you can see there are a lot, i like that so wherever you go, you can blow something up or burn something down.
Last picture of all the bombs, just before Bill the bot shot it and burned us all

Hahahhaha. good times man.
and about pic #1 - not on the next version you won't wait till they have direct ladders up to that campspot
