[L4D] Server news

I've removed Fort Noesis and I Hate Mountains from the main server. It looks like both Campaigns are no longer being developed which is a shame. Both are so close to being fully playable without major issues.

SOURCE l4dmaps.com - Fort Noesis
SOURCE I Hate Mountains - forum - Where is v1.2?

Both of these are still on the test server which is run on request or if the main server is full.


Jungle Crisis is also now only available on the test server.

I've added ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead to my to-do server list. An awesome coop military sim! Initial server testing went well, I just have to tweak bandwidth and difficulty settings to my liking. A small amount of custom content will be added. Test nights soon.






Stay tuned...

[L4D] Dead Before Dawn 
Sunday, 10 October, 2010, 00:35 - Left 4 Dead
Posted by ned
For those that don't know.. Dead Before Dawn is a custom campaign based off the 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead.




Some recent news..
Nearly a year ago, we released a beta version of Dead Before Dawn to try and satisfy those who kept nagging us to release the campaign. We did just that and then suffered the wrath of the internet. Well, ever since then, we decided not to post any more news or media about the campaign until we feel it's ready. We did exactly just that, we kept updates to a minimum...

We have successfully overcome these obstacles and the campaign works in VPK format

A few weeks ago, we sent out a link to all the people who has ever donated to L4DMods. This link allowed them to download the RC for Dead Before Dawn. They had their hands dirty with the campaign and so far we have not received any serious issues with the campaign. Other errors we missed have already been fixed and everyday we have a new version with previous errors fixed. Although, there is always more work to be done when working on a campaign, what remains will be dealt with over the coming months. We can however assure you, that the future updates are only for minor things that are lower on our list or priorities. The campaign works in every aspect of the word.

* Fixed the need to type "snd_rebuildaudiocache" in the console to hear our custom sounds
* Fixed specific mission music and sounds from The Sacrifice DLC not playing when Dead Before Dawn is installed.

Dead Before Dawn v1.66 Complete is now on both servers.

Left 4 Dead has recently had some significant updates..

http://store.steampowered.com/news/4440



Some things to note:

"Added VPK audio cache support" - A bit late but this enables custom mappers to add custom sounds to their work and for us not to have to use the snd_rebuildaudiocache command in the console to be able to hear them.

"Added "The Sacrifice" content" - more official campaign, versus and survival goodness! ..and five new achievements!

[Crayon Physics Deluxe] 2D and it rocks! 
Friday, 10 September, 2010, 03:32 - >Games (PC)
Posted by ned
Crayon Physics Deluxe by kloonigames is a delightfully addictive and challenging 2D physics puzzle game where you solve puzzles with your artistic vision and creative use of physics. Such a simple concept and it been worked perfectly. There's a demo available and I highly recommend giving it a run. It's great to kill some time with. It's also fun to even work as a team if someone is there with you. Don't dismiss this as a child-only game. It gets quite tough in parts!








Crayon Physics Deluxe - official site
Kloonigames - Monthly Experimental Games

Crayon Physics Deluxe can be bought via the official web site or Steam.
Crayon Physics Deluxe on Steam

Crayon Physics Deluxe is also available in iTunes. I tried it on my iPhone and while it's a nice idea the size of the screen relative to your fingers makes it difficult to navigate your drawings. You do get used to it to a point though. I'd like to try it on an iPad..
Crayon Physics Deluxe on the iTunes App Store

Crayon Physics Deluxe was mentioned in the 'TOG Games Industry Podcast #1' which is a place where this game can be discussed..
