Could be a stupid question, but:
Is it possible? To import everything in L4D to Garry's mod?
Cause in garry's mod you have complete control over everything in half life 2, you can spawn and make half life 2 monsters attack you.
Sorry for bad description =S
:sigh:
Left4Dead uses a different engine version, along with .vpk's instead of .gcf's. You can get the models in with a hacky method, but the maps just won't work.
Garry is [b]probably not upgrading[/b] to the L4D engine.
He's probably not upgrading because he [U]knows[/U] he'll just wreck everything.
And then we get mad, he has to spend hours behind his computer to fix it and thereby breaking stuff again.
So he stays with this engine.
If he does change engine will it mean that people with a not so good computer (that don't match L4D's requirements) will be done for?

He's not switching.
You don't have to worry about it.

Cheers mate,
he should switch to the ep3 engine instead (it will be way better anyway)
GARRY SAID THAT HE WILL BE SWITCHING TO THE L4D ENGINE IN HIS BLOG. What the hell are all of you people on?

[quote]Moving to the l4d engine I’m thinking probably wouldn’t be a good idea. I don’t know for sure, but I’m kind of assuming that the l4d engine isn’t the source engine. What I mean by that is, it would be like using the Dark Messiah or Postal 2 engine. They’ve drifted away from the main Source Engine trunk. But I guess Valve are going to merge all the good shit from the l4d engine to the main Source Engine.. so maybe the next Engine update for GMod will be the one that ep3 is on.[/quote]
We're not pulling shit out of our ass like you.
Valve (fixed spelling) could take the few minutes (or hours, or days, or whatever) and just convert the files to the ep2 engine readable format, so we don't have to "Hacky method" it.
"V.a.v.l.e"? haha
i'm pissed off he isn't changing it but whatever.
I don't even have L4d, so if he switches it, I'm screwed.
Well not really,you can't import the maps,but you can import some items,i don't know.left for dead is not a source game,it uses counter-strike:source props,Maybe day of defeat props,and obviously half-life:2 props.
[QUOTE=imposter1226]left for dead is not a source game[/QUOTE]
What.
[QUOTE=Bob The Knob]What.[/QUOTE]
Sorry my bad,is a source game but not a game that uses it's own props/models
Valve theirselves said they couldn't completely upgrade the Orange Box engine with all of L4D's improvements without killing off support for DX8, but they are going to bring -some- of the improvements. I think Garry should follow their example and update Gmod so it too can make use of Multi-core support.
I dont think its possible however it is for the props you could just search it up on garrysmod.org
However dont import anything that isnt made by valve into gmod as thats illegal
Get the gm_mount 2 addon from Avon in the Lua releases section. It mounts L4D/ L4D2 perfectly (not too sure about L4D2 though).

Not only did the poster above you say that, this thread was bumped from when gm_mount didn't even exist.
Garry doesn't seem to like the L4D engine. You can use a mounting mod or get a model pack.

It's not that, it's that more people have a game on the OB engine than have L4D, the L4D engine needs higher specs than the OB engine and none of your original games would be compatible with the OB engine. Garry doesn't want to leave a large proportion of the playerbase behind, so he isn't upgrading.
You see, heres how it works.
Garry's mod relies on the source engine to keep it alive with models and whatnot.
HL2 engine is the first engine that garry used.
The E2 engine was the second to be used, but their both much alike.
Then the L4D engine comes out. It says its source, but its different from actual source games.
Since L4D runs on a "20,000 NPC" system, they needed a new engine otherwise your PC would explode.
And since they don't want the lawsuits agenst VALVe for injuries caused by the explosions, they made a new one.
I believe this is what happened. Im not sure.
Gm_mount 2
Then for the maps, decompile them and recompile for Episode 2.
