[JappeChristian]

[erikouwehand]

[punchyou3]

[DinoBeak]

[piepotatosandturtle2]

my god, i hear the roar, but they wont come, im tired of this

[piepotatosandturtle2]

[MrKrewie]

just to add as an option, you can run nav_analyze in the console if you have a large map where you need to add walkables

[explodingregeneratco]

is dosent work for me it just sez map is un playaball

[piepotatosandturtle2]

i place my weapons, but thei do no apaer, ingame help!!!

[jeff6492]

once the map is done how do you play it?

[jordant10]

thanks so much you helped fix my survival map before i gave up on it ;P

[Left4DeadMods]

what program do you use to record? :)

[thehockeygiant1]

when ever i pause the game the thing to type into isnt there): HELP!!!!

[ValveCreations]

When I press the button there is no timer or whatever you call it at the top of my screen and when I nocliped where the zombies should spawn. There was only one. I tried again by restarting my map and when I nocliped after pessing the button there was NO zombies there. I really need help ASAP.

[MegaDriveMat]

the timer doesnt appear on my screen and the zombies dont come

[Nerd06951]

Could I simply put BATTLESTATION on the entire map?

[Nerd06951]

And do i absolutely have to put a BATTLESTATION? I want the bots to travel as the game progresses

[Nerd06951]

I put a large enclosed area above my enclosed map for zombies to spawn. I had them spawning, but then i marked a few nav regions EMPTY and OBSCURE and they stopped spawning all together. I dont want them to spawn in the survivor arena at all, but do i have to let them if my map is gonna work?

[WorldofLevelDesign]

@martialartssucks02 You have a leak in your map. Go up to Map --> Load pointfile and trace the red line back to your leak. Your map has to be sealed off from the black void.

[Funkyking2]

if I have made all

how i save ?

what command ? or WTF

[WorldofLevelDesign]

@Funkyking2 type nav_save in console

[Funkyking2]

@WorldofLevelDesign thx it works but how I play it online with friends?

[Richard600606]

my map is going to be a looong finale

[JustinDeeeeeeeeee]

[WORLDATNERF101]

[Adimanstudios]

do you need to make zombie spawns before this tuturiol or you dont?

[WORLDATNERF101]

@Adimanstudios do

[raceme97]

After you place the commands, does it save it when you leave or something? or do you have to keeep doing this

[WORLDATNERF101]

@raceme97 it saves

[Lokiman121]

Can't spawn the infected,everything else works perfect though. :(

[Lokiman121]

You have some great Left 4 Dead tutorials,I'm defianetly subbing.

[averyfatdog]

[WORLDATNERF101]

[Chicken1397]

[jbobusmaximus]

[ExtremeGamer777]

[Xenoloth]

I press the button, and maybe 2 or 3 infected come to attack. Also, there's no timer.

[Xenoloth]

@Xenoloth also, I'm using Left 4 Dead 2 :P

[RandiKatt]

Thanks! These are the best tutorials I've ever seen and I mean not only for hammer editor. Thanks to your videos I got started with hammer editor and whenever I get lost or need help I just watch some of your tutorials. You are awesome! :D

[rocketpeeko]

Thx! This really helped!

[deadspace6000]

ffs why is it saying [The command failed. Windows reported the error: "The system cannot find the file specified."] when i run the map

[WorldofLevelDesign]

@deadspace6000 Are you trying to load a map? The map file may have been moved and Hammer is looking in the wrong place.

[Adimanstudios]

@WorldofLevelDesign help me please! ihave the same problem as this guy but when i run the map it doent work! :( the file is there though but its not in bsp form...

[flaarisse]

evrything works fine with me, only when i allert the horde , on the first wave nothing comes but from the second wave they all come

[Movie8Maker]

thanks man!

[HaloDestroyerpivot]

could you edit the spawn point and make it that no tanks spawn the the map

[xsound031]

thanks

[COREkilz]

what arbiter220 means is if you want survival then spell survival after your maps name like this

my map is named "my_house" to load my map i have to spell "map my_house" if i want survival on it i spell it like this

"map my_house survival" then survival is on :)

[Hallberg96]

when I go to menu I see the console but when I go back to game and then back to menu the console is gone I tried every button but the console dont return

[COREkilz]

then write this in console

bind p toggleconsole

then you press p ingame it will show you the console

[tankkimaagi]

niiiiice

[timrockz]

umm i followed everything on these two videos and i cant even get the button working and i cant get the survival timer either. could someone help please?

[acsdude1]

i did everything said. my map is a LONG hallway survival map with rooms at both sides, but when i alert horde nothing happens, timer starts but no zombies! help!

[t0m4s14]

it's normal map compile

[rdcrdc128]

F9 is just the test run isnt it?

[gsp1995]

F9 is to compile the map and make it playable.

[rdcrdc128]

I finished my map, now how do i install it on L4D?

[rdcrdc128]

How do you open the game in a small widow like in your video?

[Mattcamel51]

i have 2 questions. If i follow every thing u said but i exit the map and then rejoin will it all work? And can my friends join the game with me?

[ooOPumpkinKingOoo]

hi. first thanks for your video. i did all that you say but when the survival starts infected dont spawn!! please help!...

[goronlord3]

sweet!! i created my very first working survival map ^^ zombies keep coming (sometimes just smokers wich is to bad :(

) ima just go add more zombies

[YoMama1dagame]

i did all that u said, and no zombies came? Can you help me?

[bigwowgamer]

how do i spawn infected/ zombie? :)

[buggyiscool]

make sure theres a lot of hidden space then add an "info_zombie_spawn" and place a bunch of those around in hidden areas

[bigwowgamer]

ok...whats a hidden area's?

[buggyiscool]

like where the survivors cant see....behind a wall....in bushes...literally a hidden area haha...

[bigwowgamer]

thanks lol....

[MrHeavyXD]

how do i make a space were people cant walk

[buggyiscool]

make a brush whatever size with a noclip material...then make it an entity with "cntrl+t" and look for "func_nav_blocker" ive never tried this but it seems like it would work :)

[Megaloth13]

thanks so much, I found trying to get the information needed to program a l4d survival map really hard to get from the official sources so i youtubed it and there this video was :)

[naruto30002]

for some reason i dont have the clock there and when i click the radio I do get one wave of infected but a small one and then game over no more infected.... help!

[scottiez171]

You didn't set up your mp_gamemode_survival correctly. Try typing that in console before starting your map.

[naruto30002]

Yeah i fixed that but now props and ammo stack are white and i cant see smoke and fire ?! help

[goronlord3]

no dude its mp_gamemode survival

[dublades]

thank you so much for these 2 tutorials, very professional!

[WorldofLevelDesign]

Thanks man. I appreciate that.

[naruto30002]

Yeah he is the best around!

[Ryan094]

Thanks for this, it helped me a lot. But I have a question. When I did this the zombies spawned all over my map in every place. How do I only make them spawn in one area and run to me and the bots?

[Nerd06951]

Awesome, I couldnt make it change levels, but it did register that the level ended. Thanks. Also, you should prolly edit the vid for people like me that need this much help. lol

[hunterxxx11]

Guys, how do you make an infected ladder? Also, the bots wont climb the ladder. WHY?

[Nerd06951]

Yo, remember me? Anyway, Im workin with saferooms again. I beleive that to make them work, you have to do something to the nav_mesh. Im not sure, so i know that you know wat ur doin. Ive got plenty of time, so take ur good sweet time to get back to me if need be. Tnx

[WorldofLevelDesign]

Hey,

You have to mark the saferoom as either finale or checkpoint, depeding if it is the last saferoom in your campaign, or if it will change to another map.

[loleyeduntcare]

thanks man, you're awesome.

[llllWD9543llll]

dont forget nav_save

[loleyeduntcare]

don't have to if you nav_analyze, it automatically saves mesh.

[rek636]

Tutorials are good.

I have only had the game a few weeks and already using the editor.

[XeKia]

Thanks man.
