[charliephayer123]

[TheRednaster]

if i do nav_gui i dont get a box, maybe because i have l4d2?

[IPenguinTeethI]

[Advisorbuggy]

[supermovies342]

good but still one thing, they never spawn if i not shoot the car

(have a map but they only spawn if i shoot car in the begining and they just spawn there, not the other places on map there they should spawn...)

[AnacondaTutorial]

@supermovies342 you need to create a nav for the car and also set up the car properly ... goto my other tutorial on how to create cars

[whatisscary]

@AnacondaTutorial get wgar do your download and how to make all this...????

[whatisscary]

@AnacondaTutorial how do you get this and how do you download and how to make all this...????

[ZSaberToothTigerZ]

Doesnt you just add some walking nods? also spawn a entity of Zombie_spawner? sorry dont got this but is experienced with source sdk

[flaarisse]

can you make a tutorial on how to make a area where the director is not able to spawn infected?

[Voikanaa]

SO hard to make map with zombies and walking bots -.-'

[Ennocb]

I personally think it's easy

[nissanskyline9999]

what are you writing at 4:24 ?????!!!!

[AnacondaTutorial]

map "YOURMAP" :)

[madderfakker13]

i cant get my console up with § 4:25 ???? plz help me

[AnacondaTutorial]

in your additional game parameters make sure you have ... "-toconsole -dev -console +sv_lan 1" ... in that order

[nfsmw0099]

can u make a tutorial on how to make zmbies spawn whe u type in z_spawn mob

when i do, at the top right, it is error, no place to spawn common infected.... i really want my panics and car alarms to spawn zombies..... plz help....

[AnacondaTutorial]

@nfsmw0099 your sv_cheat needs to be set to 1 then z_spawn z for single zombie, etc...

[Cantaloupe33]

idk why but zombies do not spawn in my map... i have nav (it works fine , at least with the AI), i have director in the map, and i have tried director_start. also sv_cheats is 0... any help?

[AnacondaTutorial]

@Cantaloupe33 are there blind spots so zombies can spawn ?

also try my other tutorial by clicking the video response. its a better version of creating NAV.

[Cantaloupe33]

@AnacondaTutorial Yes there are many blind spots in the map. I followed your advanced NAV editing tut and it was way better. Still no common infected spawned at the start of the map, but a special infected spawned and when i set off a car alarm common infected spawned... any idea what im doing wrong?

[Cantaloupe33]

@AnacondaTutorial additionally, after i generate the nav, my ammo pile disappears for some reason...

also a question: I don't need to mark all space "mark obscurred" where i want zombies to spawn do i?

[AnacondaTutorial]

@Cantaloupe33 nonono :P

[Cantaloupe33]

@AnacondaTutorial so any idea what im doing wrong?

[Gary12194]

your computer will be faster if u take your quick launch off

[AnacondaTutorial]

@Gary12194 yeah cheers m8 ... ive changed my recording programme so its faster now

[jelleybean12]

the tools arnt in my tools

[nipkonx]

you nvr showed ho to do info_director...wtf im all fucked up and confused now

[nipkonx]

do you have to finish your map b4 youdo the nav mesh?

[Squishsquash93]

Everytime I do this It keeps giving me the "map is not playable and something else about the NAV" any help?

[AnacondaTutorial]

watch?v=MSDfz5itDro

[Bhuggy13]

you havn't set up any nav mesh on your map?

[Squishsquash93]

The command failed. Windows reported the error: "The system cannot find the file specified." is what it says when I tried playing my map or f9

[Squishsquash93]

When I try making or viewing my map it keeps loading my old map and I keep checking that it's not the old file in my maps folder its the new one! any help...?

[popman818]

am i not a loud to watch the zombies spawn or wat i made the thing but it say like no empty space for mob

add me on steam willkillutwice

[AnacondaTutorial]

no you are not ... the map needs to have spaces where you cant see or get to .... also go to my other tutorial on nav creating ... its better :)

[UziGameLover]

question on my map the zombies keep spawning only in 1 spot the starting spot is there a way to give the director zombie spawn spots or make his only spawn the zombies in certain spots

[AnacondaTutorial]

make sure there is alot of spots for zombies to spawn ... and they should spawn all over the place

[UziGameLover]

so what your saying is make hidden sports where the director can put them ?

[AnacondaTutorial]

sort of yeah ;D :P

[TheCrimsonMelody]

How do you get to the part where you start creating them I don't know how to get there?

[AnacondaTutorial]

start creating what ?

[Mattcamel51]

I dont want the people to run to a safe house, i just want to make a survivor map. How do I do that?

[AnacondaTutorial]

goto my other tutorial on how to create survival maps ... :)

[CommanderHunt]

hey, i did wat u said got the sky box etc but when i hit the switch no zombies came. and yes i did the nav thing but the nav_gui thing is wat i missed, HELP....?

[AnacondaTutorial]

goto the other tutorial on nav meshses m8 :)

[RickRay9]

what's your specs on your comp, cuz it lagged a bit I just wanna see if It will be good for my new one on monday.

[AnacondaTutorial]

my game did'nt lag ... it just looks laggy m8 :P its the recorder

[TheSkitzles]

Can you help me whenever i type in nav_generate it says I'm joining the spectaters and it messes everything up.

[AnacondaTutorial]

hmmm thats strange ... is it loading when it puts you in spectator ? if not i would try the other method of nav_generate_incremental and see if that works

[TheSkitzles]

yes it does the loading then puts in spectate mode i will try the other one'

[BufferOverflowAttack]

Anaconda,

Thank you for all of your help, you're very professional. Might I ask how would I go about creating hords & tanks at certain spots (like events) - such as Zoey walks to X, Horde is alerted.

Thank you!

Jeff

[AnacondaTutorial]

goto my other tutorial on how to create tanks and creating hords ... i have different tutotials have a look through :)

[Simpspark1]

hmm...it still seems to be saying that.... oh well... thanks for the help..... i understnad if u dont know wut to do but if u do plz tell me....

[Impy939]

if u still need help type +sv_lan 1 in the additional game parameters box

[AnacondaTutorial]

indeed :)

[Simpspark1]

no dw i figured it out

[Simpspark1]

grt tuts but when i run my map and it loads up it says steam validation rejected :(.... plz help!

[AnacondaTutorial]

i had this but all i did was :

goto steam -> tools tab -> left 4 dead authoring tools (right click on it) -> properties -> Local Files -> Verify Intergrity Of Tool Cache ... then i did -> Defragment cache files :) then it worked fine for me

[Simpspark1]

ok i'll try that thanks :)

[Simpspark1]

:(......

[Simpspark1]

oh wait i got it 2 work

[scottymusicgameguy]

ill that will spawn is special infected zombies wont and when it tries to spawn a mob it say in the console over and over mob error please help

[squidmanlol]

i had the same mob error problem, but cant find a fix, help plz!

[SOiIIxViperxII]

Can I upload the maps to the internet so that people can download and play them?

Nice tutorials

[AnacondaTutorial]

there are many sites which do this ... fps bannana, l4dmaps, etc... :)

[najtrows]

i dont understand why my saferoom isnt working. or shouldnt the map stop when everyone is in it and you close the door?

[AnacondaTutorial]

you have done everything which had been done on this tutorial ?

[najtrows]

yes, im not one who asks things without trying first.

[AnacondaTutorial]

i cant see what u could have done wrong ... you have added a checkpoint door ... lanmark .... info_changelevel ... the safe room isnt to big but isnt to small. the map has no leaks ... and you have tried on a simpler map to make a safe room.

[najtrows]

i'll just have to make a new map, maybe ive missed something or thought i did something that i didnt do.

great tutorials though! :) really apprecieate them

[mikeqwert3]

forget it man i figured it out. i forgot to add the checkpoint door. i just added a regular one. CHeers man good tuts dude.

[AnacondaTutorial]

lmaoooo ... ok m8 :)

[mikeqwert3]

damn i feel like i'm bugging you xD but HUGE SUCCESS for the most part.. i got zombies and everything. works but the safe door.. once we are all in it.. i close it and the map doesn't end. the bots keep asking to close the door.. any clues why the map won't end?

[stelthninjaX]

I haven't a clue how to map edit, but maybe the walls aren't close enough to the door...

[mikeqwert3]

I don't remember seeing you add the info director in tut 2. Is there anything special to that? I'm getting and error when i test my map

[AnacondaTutorial]

no m8 ... just click the "entity" Tool then make a "info_director" and just name it :)

[DeathSnoop]

how do i spawn zombies? everytime i put the zombie spawn in the map (info_zombie_spawn) and place it at one spot, no zombie appear at all..

[AnacondaTutorial]

You need to either create a trigger for it or a timer :) ... other tutorial will show you :

/watch?v=tG0KObHrxKo

[soberson08]

YOU NEED TO HAVE LEFT 4 DEAD TO GET THE AUTHORING TOOLS!!! (duh)

[Karle1988]

So how do spawn points work? I've made a map added the Info_director and Zombie spawnpoints, but they don't spawn : \

[AnacondaTutorial]

check my other tutorial on how to spawn zombies on a timer ... and the other tutorial on how to spawn special inf including tanks and witches :)

[harveydude72]

When i try to find the authoring tools ther not in the tools tab wher do i find them

[AnacondaTutorial]

it should be there m8 ? :S ... try searching in google for a download

[jesseindiana]

Hey quick 2 ?..... 1- When i make zombies none of them come after me they just sit around (im making a survival map) 2- when i make props some of them disapear any ideas?

[AnacondaTutorial]

prop_physics disapear for me when ever i go to far away , urmmm is there a hole in your map or room for zombies to spawn? make sure you can not see the whole map from one spot! and another thing this tutorial wont work for a survival map .... go to my survival map tutorial and it should work :)

[BloddyHoRRoRs]

why it allways take same time to render my map even if i start with HDR or pro settings -.- confusing stuff

[AnacondaTutorial]

just be patient with it m8 :)

[HaloBioshock]

prop_physics delete themselves when the map spawns. The help tab even says, use prop_dynamic instead.

[weddydrew]

yer i get lost when you talk about the gui command

[AnacondaTutorial]

yh :P ... just goto the info bar on the left of this video and it basically expains it m8 :)

[cuppatea12]

when i ran the game it said steam validation rejected. help?

[AnacondaTutorial]

you have got the same error as the guys below ... maybe have a check of below or ... search your error on google ... google has all the answers :) :P

[cuppatea12]

put +sv_lan 1 in additional parameters, that fixed it : )

[sk8rdood67]

after it gives u that error, run any campaign. (i prefer no mercy)

THEN while in the campaign open ur console and type "map [your map]" and it will load

[AnacondaTutorial]

are you sure you haven't selected a lan-server instead of public ?

[Dahellraider]

when i ran the game it said steam validation rejected what does this mean

[AnacondaTutorial]

what about m8 ? this part is the most complicated i would say ... just do as i do ... All The Nav Editing Is On The Info Of This Video

[mikeqwert3]

thanks man. idk what i did wrong so i'm just gonna start over. when i started i wasn't to familiar with the keys of hammer so i'm sure i messed up someone. Good Tutorials bud

[StudioDor]

Im confused...
