Accessing Dead Air/Death Toll in Versus mode Options

[MonkeyFiend]

Firstly Valve have removed accesss to Dead air and Death Toll in versus mode.

You can manually download some patched versions of these from here:

Complete campaign pack: http://sneakymonkeys.com/maps.rar

[Edit: changed the address since over 800 people have downloaded these files, I suspect our downloads have been passed around )

I added them a rar without thinking, so if you can't open these files you'll need a copy of winrar (http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm)

You then need to extract them to your maps folder, such as:

C:\steam\steamapps\common\left4dead\left4dead\maps

After installing maps you may need to restart steam.


-----
Connecting to a server
-----

Since these are custom maps, you can only play them on servers that have them installed, such as the sneakymonkeys server

To connect to sneakymonkeys (either be a member of the steam group sneakymonkeys) or connect manually, open the console (~) and type: Connect 85.236.100.37:27215

The server may not be on these campaigns, you'll require access to the server in clanforge (server.sneakymonkeys.com) - slect the left 4 dead server (MH11345), click on servers, tick the box next to the server, click live control, click current game and select the corresponding map e.g. l4d_vs_airport_01 etc.,(and then press change map button)


ISSUES:

1. String Table Errors

The content on your computer differs from that on the server. I'd recommend redownloading the custom maps again

2. Doors/Cars/Objects appear white.

Workaround: go to your graphics options and turn shaders to Medium - this will sort out the textures

This relates to HDR Shaders not being built properly. To fix this we could rebuild the cubes (buildcubes command) on the server and redownload all of the maps, if things go wrong (and l4d is pretty buggy) it would prevent access to the server (until you reinstall the maps) so I DO NOT recommend this.
