Pumpernickel December 26, 2014 Share Pumpernickel Member December 26, 2014 (edited) Precinct 84 is pretty barebones. It looks like just a port from the first game. That might work. On mobile; will link later. Edited December 26, 2014 by Pumpernickel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieChan December 27, 2014 Author Share JackieChan GC Alumni December 27, 2014 To test if a Custom Campaign works locally (not connected to a server), do the following if you want to suggest campaigns: 1. Close your game and navigate to your /left4dead2/cfg/ folder (Default path in most situations: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead 2\left4dead2\cfg\) 2. Open your "addonconfig.cfg" file. 3. Down where it says "RestrictAddions", you'll see a few entries there. Under "default", change the "0" to "1". You may need to add another entry named "coop" and make it "1". 4. Launch the game and have the custom campaign downloaded that you want to test and make sure it's selected in the main menu. 5. Click on Play Campaign -> Play With Friends -> Change server to "Local Server" -> Start Lobby -> Start Game. This will launch the custom campaign though a local server with the addons restricted. Not sure if just going to Single Player works or not, but this is the definite way to ensure it works. 6. Play through the campaign. If you're able to go from first level to the finale escape cinematic, the campaign passes test. At that point, suggest it and I'll play it for myself to see if it passes my standards test...which isn't that high. I just make sure the entire campaign is playable and has good quality maps. Pay attention to the following: -The campaign has a ton, if any, textures that are purple/black checkered -Any "ERROR" models -Fails to load the next level after you complete one -Client-side crashes (multiple, or happens in the same spot in the same map (ie: When exiting the saferoom)) Odds are, if any of these happen, then the map isn't suitable for play with addons disabled. Addons being disabled is not going to change just for the sake of custom campaigns. To revert the restrict addons change, just reverse the numbers again in step #3. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzul December 27, 2014 Share anzul Member December 27, 2014 just make sure the entire campaign is playable and has good quality maps. so that rules out "joke campaigns" like orange onslaught (textureless/featureless campaign) the TF2 ports and tank arena maps? dang. will try everything else whit a few campaigns. thanks for the info jackie!

Ignis December 31, 2014 Share Ignis Member December 31, 2014 Diescraper Redux is still a pretty reliable map that I have tested with team versus 4v4 and I checked it out with the addon glitch test you posted above. It's a pretty fun straight forward map with a good finale. This map has a lot of vairety. <http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=121116980&searchtext=diescraper> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumpernickel January 6, 2015 Share Pumpernickel Member January 6, 2015 I tested out Diescraper Redux and Death Aboard 2 tonight. Few iffy areas on both. The elevator event area is also fairly open on map 3. Diescraper has a long stairwell on map 4 and obvious but not pipe ladder. Also, the finale area is definitely weighted towards the survivors. Need to kill them early to stand a chance. Death Aboard finale worries me because of the ascent to the lighthouse and possible bad tank spawns. Some tanks spawned way at the bottom and that wouldn't work with our fire rage system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumpernickel January 7, 2015 Share Pumpernickel Member January 7, 2015 Meow and I went through Hard Rain Downpour last night after she recommended it and I was pleasantly surprised. This campaign takes some of the most "troll" sections of almost all campaigns and nerfs them to a point of balance. You can tell this person wanted to make a fair campaign for both sides. You will be pointing out the parts that are copy pasted from other campaigns and see they aren't so heavily favored towards survivors or infected one way or the other. The pathing for the most part is pretty much the same, though. I very much enjoyed this Hard Rain 2.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitegreyhat February 20, 2015 Share whitegreyhat Member February 20, 2015 (edited) thank you but still had to do it manually ! /JoeWOW# btw if u have a 64 bit machine, you have to first navigate to program filesx86--> steam-> etc Edited February 20, 2015 by whitegreyhat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieChan April 24, 2015 Author Share JackieChan GC Alumni April 24, 2015 Update: Uploaded "Death Aboard 2" to test server with custom content disabled. Campaign doesn't get detected by server as campaign fails to load with custom content disabled. Most likely due to the campaign using custom materials/sounds/models. "Diescraper Redux" worked fine with custom content disabled. Will be uploading to Server #2, Link to workshop item to follow. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EliteGandalf June 26, 2015 Share EliteGandalf Member June 26, 2015 This was something i came across that looked interesting http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=424063762&searchtext=undead+smackdown Downloading through steam Back to School has 7parts that you must download. This campaign to me looks to be by far the most interesting, however there were a substantial amount of people commenting with issues. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=122444796&searchtext=back+to+school http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=122447941&searchtext=back+to+school http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=122449170&searchtext=back+to+school http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=122450201&searchtext=back+to+school http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=122451125&searchtext=back+to+school http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=122452134&searchtext=back+to+school http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=122453134&searchtext=back+to+school Back to school can be downloaded in one part from here.. Only do it if you know how to properly install http://www.gamemaps.com/details/6691 Unfortanately Dark Parish isn't on steam. If you want approve and/or want to play it you have to download from the gamemaps website site http://www.gamemaps.com/details/3467 This one was also pretty cool. http://www.gamemaps.com/details/2624 I don't kow how much time you have, but there is no rush in checking all these out. It can wait til next time around if that's what it takes for you to thoroughly go through these maps. So of them have play through videos. Be advised the skill level or shall I say lack of it is apparent with most play throughs, but the maps do look like good times to me. I encourage you to this site: http://www.gamemaps.com/l4d2/versus and check out the maps. P.S. I filtered for popularity. Also didn't use spell check. Deal with it... School is out!
