What a crappy wheather in your map. Ungh... :P I'm gonna make a map with clear sunny daylight, so it seems all fine and dandy, but then things get a bit weird, because there's rotten carcasses etc everywhere. :D

[Small Little P00]

Crappy weather is great! Someone please make a monsoon+rainforest map :P

campaign version of the map (4) fixed nav for bots so they no longer have any trouble at all with the ladder.

[Garfsan]

played this map. enjoyed it had good atmosphere. Nice work

Tho for some systems the rain may slow it down

[doa]

The only criticism that I have is that the outdoors is generally too dark and the indoors generally too bright. Also the rain seems a bit overdone.

Otherwise I thought it was pretty good! :)

thta's how i thought L4D would start. that would be cool to see!

I just uploaded a quick walkthrough ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUir0Xz144Q

Its also on my blog here: http://left4dead-info.blogspot.com/2009/02/communi ty-map-spray-and-pray-beta.html (http://left4dead-info.blogspot.com/2009/02/community-map-spray-and-pray-beta.html)

The rain is not bad at all.

[BrainFood]

love the vid doa, those sound effects are amazing. Wouldn't mind that rain effect added to my level sounds awsome. Certainly makes me want to keep making levels for this campaign and next time ill let you do the vid for my next level since u did such an awsome one :)

[doa]

glad you liked the video man ... 99.9% of the sound effects actually came from the game itself - i just started browsing through the game sounds to find some that I liked ... the weirder sounds are just slowed down that's all.

The rain sound is rain on tarp and its mixed with a couple of thunder storms sounds ...

The only sound that is not from l4d is the heart beat at the beginning ...

map 2 gunstore

heres a collection of screenshots from the second map in my l4d campaign, as u can see it is to a much higher standard than my previous map and so im going to revise and re-release the first map alongside this one.
special thanks to stormy for the custom models within the map, these include
Ammo bag, gunstore sign, target, earmuffs.
The petrol station has panic event associated with it once the survivors destroy a barricade they must hold out agaisnt the hord for a time before continuing, similar to the lift in NM-3.

and doa when the map is ready, would it be possible for you to make a promotional vid of the map for its release? my vid making skills are poor.

[BrainFood]

First official media release of my campaign spray and pray showing the first 2 maps which are both complete now. The first map is very diff from the early beta i released and has been improved upon greatly. Both maps feature doors that are randomly open to give a little variety to play. first map has fences that randomly hae holes in them, second map has 2 crescendo events the second one is present sometimes. also has 4 diff spawn points for weps and 4 for ammo.

You should edit first post to people not think that your map is totally bugged.

map 2 gunstore

What's on the door of the 5th screenshot?

doa when the map is ready

I should be able to - how far is it from needing one? Just that I have 3 pretty important commitments on the horizon soon ...

[BrainFood]

On the 5th screenshot its an ammo bag (basically ammo spawn with a new model by stormy)

decided to wait and release the maps as a whole once the campaign is finished once its done i would say june probably which is quite a way off, your more than welcome to make the trailer then.

[doa]

i would say june probably which is quite a way off

Hopefully things should have settled down by then :) I look forward to the rest of the campaign!

[LordBhorak]

Ok... I got finally into testing this map. It was very nicely done, no doubt about that, but that map just is all out there to point how "not agile" those survivors are... I mean it's just 50m of a street we're going in that, but through every house etc, only because the survivors aren't able to climb over a smallest fence. :P

But I liked it. It had the feel to it. :)

[Willza92]

Go here for my feedback

overall, i thought the map was fantastic, it loved how when i left the basement, i was sacraficing the light and tight corridors for what seemed a vast blackness.

There are some texture problems and stuff, but they are easy enough to find and fix.

[Jesus123]

Keep up the good work! Looks fantastic from what I've seen.

Media Release 2

I have progressed quite rapidly over the past few weeks with tanks/witches now spawning correctly and randomly in chosen positions. Gunstore the second map in the campaign is alot of fun to play and works great. I have also completed 30% of the 3rd map in my campaign spray and pray called underhalls. Map 3 takes place in an old sewage treatment plant and is my fav map of the 3 so far. heres a few screens of the map the last 3 shots are from the maps panic event.
