You do know that this section is for Garry's Mod maps right?

[QUOTE=SonicHitman;27910381]You do know that this section is for Garry's Mod maps right?[/QUOTE] No it isn't.

[QUOTE=SonicHitman;27910381]You do know that this section is for Garry's Mod maps right?[/QUOTE] I had permission from Terrenteller to post this here. Also, then why is the UDK Thread allowed to be here? Redirect me to this other mapping forum then, and I'd be proud to post it there. Anyways, to go back on topic with my thread. Does anyone think it would be possible to redo the logic for the Hard Rain campaign and make it so that it's always using the really thick/scarier rain? I have it so it randomly triggers on my map, I followed the tutorial from VDC, but now I'm not quite sure how to do it. There's only one thing I've found that triggers it and it's something like, "On20SecondsToMob" which is triggering the "relay_storm_start" after a delay of 15 seconds. The thing is, I can't find a way to keep that storm running. [editline]12:41AM, February 7, 2011[/editline] Nevermind, that was a lot easirer than I thought. Triggered the storm when the players spawned, and removed the blend out for it.

Cool, a L4D map thread! Although it's kind of useless seeing as we could just normally post our L4D maps in the regular map pimpage thread, but oh well I ain't gonna' complain. :v: Here's some ( slightly old ) pics of what I've been working on, my Hawaiian campaign: [media]http://filesmelt.com/dl/L4D2Hawaii_0012.PNG[/media] [media]http://filesmelt.com/dl/L4D2Hawaii_0022.PNG[/media] [media]http://filesmelt.com/dl/L4D2Hawaii_0031.PNG[/media] [media]http://filesmelt.com/dl/L4D2Hawaii_0041.PNG[/media] [media]http://filesmelt.com/dl/L4D2Hawaii_0051.PNG[/media] [media]http://filesmelt.com/dl/L4D2Hawaii_0061.PNG[/media]

Meia tags still load the images. Why does this need it's own thread? Hardly anybody makes l4d maps anyways. And what was wrong with the current pimpage thread?

[QUOTE=Firegod522;27912979]Meia tags still load the images. Why does this need it's own thread? Hardly anybody makes l4d maps anyways. And what was wrong with the current pimpage thread?[/QUOTE] I get moist over L4D mapping. And a lot of people make L4D maps actually, so don't spoil my fun.

I think the "The Facepunch "Map Pimpage/WIP" Thread" is sufficient for all maps that are Source based.

Waste of a thread. L4D2 and L4D maps can easily be posted in the normal 'Map Pimpage/WIP' Thread, I recommend you get this thread closed.

[QUOTE=hawx;27915091]Waste of a thread. L4D2 and L4D maps can easily be posted in the normal 'Map Pimpage/WIP' Thread, I recommend you get this thread closed.[/QUOTE] Oh the irony

I like this thread, it inspires me to start working on a Left 4 Dead map. It's not a waste of a thread, perhaps some people only want to see Left 4 Dead maps and not hundreds of Gmod maps until finally seeing ONE picture of L4D.

Well this thread's already gone to shit since everyone is so close minded and cant accept new things :smith:

[QUOTE=J4censolo;27917886]Well this thread's already gone to shit since everyone is so close minded and cant accept new things :smith:[/QUOTE] If that was true, more people would be using lua to do things that io can do. Oh wait.

While we are at it lets make a Facepunch Orangebox engine map pimpage thread, along with ep1, and 2004. :golfclap:

[QUOTE=Firegod522;27912979]Meia tags still load the images. Why does this need it's own thread? Hardly anybody makes l4d maps anyways. And what was wrong with the current pimpage thread?[/QUOTE] Yeah, I know it seems useless. But still, usually when I goto the Map Pimpage thread, I love seeing Left 4 Dead images, but there's more of other stuff. If you don't like the thread, don't view it. You don't have to click on it. Think of how many threads I think suck ass, I just don't view them. From here on, stay on the topic Left 4 Dead for the thread.

[QUOTE=sphinxa279;27915391]That isn't just a GMod mapping thread :colbert:[/QUOTE] The Facepunch pimpage/WIP thread is ALMOST all Gmod, is what I said. I'm sorry, but if you actually read what I had said, you would have seen that I didn't state that it was completely for Gmod maps.

I like this idea for a thread, it'd be nice to have a thread where I only am seeing L4D and/or L4D2 maps.

[QUOTE=CakeMaster7;27924184]I like this idea for a thread, it'd be nice to have a thread where I only am seeing L4D and/or L4D2 maps.[/QUOTE] I agree. That's one of the main reasons I made it. There's not enough posts about L4D maps in any other threads, so now we can filter out stuff that's just from L4D at least. I don't see why so many people are getting butthurt over a new thread when they could simply ignore it. Heh, children these days I guess.

[QUOTE=Ardowalalin;27924033]The Facepunch pimpage/WIP thread is ALMOST all Gmod, is what I said. I'm sorry, but if you actually read what I had said, you would have seen that I didn't state that it was completely for Gmod maps.[/QUOTE] Shouldn't that be quite a good indicator of this thread going content less rather fast then? I mean look at it this way. People post whatever maps they want to make, and whatever people like. If you see a shitload of what you call gmod maps (which are in fact just maps that people like to make for the practice of mapping, and for showing off their skills), then chances are that's what people like to make. If you don't see a lot of Left 4 dead maps then it's probably because people don't really make a lot of them. I mean even if I thought hawx alien swarm pimpage thread was rather useless he did still have a point in that it had its own sdk and the mapping style differed from all the other engines. My point is that this thread got off to a shit start for a reason and I just think that it'll end up like the UDK or alien swarm thread. Dead for good or for months until someone bumps it. Oh and for the record, just because Terranteller granted you permission to post the thread, it doesn't mean it's a good idea.

I'm just going to ignore people getting butthurt over it though and keep the thread open for people who want to start mapping for Left 4 Dead or anything.

I'm sorry, but if you actually read what I had said, you would have seen that I didn't state that it was completely for Gmod maps.[/QUOTE] You said there was 1 L4D map to every 100 GMod maps, might as well state that the thread was for GMod maps.

[QUOTE=sphinxa279;27930982]You said there was 1 L4D map to every 100 GMod maps, might as well state that the thread was for GMod maps.[/QUOTE] That is true.

[QUOTE=sphinxa279;27930982]You said there was 1 L4D map to every 100 GMod maps, might as well state that the thread was for GMod maps.[/QUOTE] I see EP2/CS:S maps more often than GMod maps.

I don't think there will be a enough content to justify this being its own thread, it would have been more sensible to make it back when either the l4d or l4d2 sdk was first released. All this thread will do is give less attention to L4d maps, since a lot more people have reason to read the regular pimpage thread.
