Alright, so I designed some "prefabs" that will help people that are into mapping for Left 4 Dead 2 make Survival and Scavenge maps (Sorry, I have a tendency to capitalize the names, I don't know why).
I've made it pretty easy for people that have barely any experience with mapping those things (I'm going to start a fad about people talking about me, eh?) by placing links to tutorials in the Readme. The only real use of the tutorials if you have the prefabs is to make the navmesh for the maps. Hopefully this is useful to you people that don't know how.
Yeah, again, i'm sorry for being a whiney bitch :), but that's not the subject
You can download it here:

(It's a zip file)
The readme includes help with installation and very important tips and pointers (Trust me, you really need to look at them) so make sure to read the readme, NO. MATTER. WHAT.
And I've made a short YouTube video about the survival ones (Basically just showing pictures of what they look like in Hammer), so you can get an idea of what you're going to see. I'm not sure what the help of it is, but, eh, what the hell?

Oh, and if you want a short laugh (I Guess), then watch this:
[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nx6tEP-hOVg[/url] -- This is pretty unrelated, and is only funny to you if you enjoy parodies of valve trailers or listening to Ghostbusters at the end of videos for 4 minutes straight while seeing Ellis' coward face. (TF2, l4d etc.)
Good luck to all mappers, have a great time and READ THE DAMN README!!!!!
How long did it take you to make that?
[QUOTE=J-B;28984639]How long did it take you to make that?[/QUOTE]
About 45 minutes, since I just copied some entities off of one of MY survival maps, put them together in a group and made changed it around. It really just saves everyone time from watching the tutorials and doing it step by step. (Which yes, I used to make my first survival map)
45 min to copy and paste? wow

Please read the PM I sent you.
No thanks, I'll stick to the professional valve .vmf's and VDC
Can you please like, stop making useless threads that really don't help/interest anyone? I mean, you could be a fine person, but its just that you make all these annoying threads...
Just stop.

This isn't a map, it's just a prefab to set up survival. Obviously no one trusts it because it's coming from me. God.
Chaingun...
I'm going to be blunt.
The mapping section now hates you. Your reputation has been completely obliterated. Stop making threads, start posting actual content in the pimpage thread, and clean up your act.

They still don't interest people, either.

Oh, in that case, :frog:
Seriously dude, start posting some actual content. This sort of thing doesn't help people learn, they are basic entity chains that anyone with l4d2 knowledge will create for themselves. Try making and releasing some actual maps.

Wait, if they actually hate me, then even if I post the best map that existed on the planet (I obviously won't), then they'll just flame me, rate me dumb and yeah. Doesn't matter what I do now. Plus, no one is going to see my stuff on the pimpage thread with about 232 pages of content, or is that the point?

I find it quite funny that this is pretty much the exact same thing, yet I got great ratings and replies then! That's very good evidence that I'm getting voted down because it is I that posted it. Perfect proof.
Oh, and thanks for linking the thread, now people can flame my Email, Steam, Facepunch and other things.
Great, just, great.

Couldn't test them here at work, but judging from the screenshots, the brushwork from the second one with the castle looks almost like HL1...

If you'd suddenly get something astounding done, like rp_catisland, you'd at least get the artistic respect. No matter how stupid others may find you.

Only two guys replied to that thread and the only positive response was "That's nice and all but it's in the wrong section. " If that's your definition of "great" you seem to have pretty low standards.
Of course you get more negative replies and ratings now that you get more attention and have made yourself a (bad) name. And a shitty youtube video certainly doesn't help...

Then edit that info out instead of calling your haters' attention to it....

I can tell you didn't test the first map as it has floating cars. Also, the majority of the mapping appears to be valve's. The 2nd map is poorly constructed as a whole.

Sound's shit IMO. I don't think I will be downlaoding.
It's in the images. I have a good eye for these things.
Chaingun, by posting content we mean posting an incomplete part of your map and asking for critique. Posting already released maps does nothing to further your mapping skill.
You had developed so much of your Papocalypse map that it would take a major overhaul to bring it to an acceptable level. So start with a small portion of your map, a single building, room, or composition. Post that in the pimpage thread, and get some critique on it. [b]IMPORTANT[/b] Use the critique!
Then rinse and repeat.

Great Idea!
I've been trying to use the critique, but no one actually is trying to be postive to me about it, they just tell me something is bad, and don't tell me what to fix it with or to atleast try. I'm kind of done PAPocalypse, I'm thinking of doing something easier for a start, a city that isn't apocalyptic. This time, I'll listen to the users, not make any posts about it until it's done, and yeah. Hopefully you'd agree with me on this.

Papoc was a good base to work off. You had the ideas, but not the skill. I would recommend going back to it and showing that you can improve on it.

That's wrong, if you created the best map in existence, i'm sure everyone would be very impressed and you'd get a bit more friendly behavior from the mapping community.

I think I'd rather make it another time, but use what I did make as a base to learn my mistakes.

That's what people say about R&R Deathmatch or whatever his name is.
I love that guy.
R&r isn't a troll, hese a younger person that isnt great at English and dosent have much mapping skill.

Now I have a question that has somethig to do with this thread. Can we have a veto against a single person? The airsoft subforum has jenkem, the mapping one has chaingun, and I'm sure the others have similar people. We really need to get a veto/subforum ban system.
