Custom map, want to give input or help?

[H0w1tz3r]

One of my co-workers (Spleen) has been working on a custom campaign for some time now. He has been building it for L4D since that was what was out when he started. He will code if for L4D2 later. It is set in Idaho and based on the small town and his home (first safe house).

There are some things we need.

Safe house quotes. If you have photoshop or a similar product use a handwriting font with a transparent background and save it as a 768 X 768 sized png. If you don't have one of those programs but want to write script, then just email me what you come up with.

We need some signs for a grocery store like the old coke signs etc. Graffiti.

And of course constructive criticism or compliments. remember it's a friend of mine and a group of us who have been building it so keep peoples feelings in mind if you don't like it. Look for bugs and game play issues.

There are some very unique elements to the maps. Like since we are all in the medical field and he has 2 brothers who are doctors, we tried to scientifically explain the infection. I think we did a really good job. There are notebooks from doctors and scientists to each other that display as a pop up and contain scientific story line. There are great custom X-rays we did of boomers and hunters and smokers etc.

Yeah and 1024 for the larger signs. Here's an example of the safe room stuff I did along with some other things I worked on.

Well we're getting closer to releasing the map. I recorded the radio message and finished it up last night. We played a great versus map last night. While the game hasn't been optimized for versus yet it was still a blast. We are going to release a different version for L4D2 once we finish L4D1. If anyone still wants to give input, please do.
