@kurochama Just restart map 3 till the door in cells area opens, right after you drop down and the glass breaks go left, that's the door facing you with the weird bridge behind it

@ trippypees ,I see... It looks like I was unlucky because even I didn't enter that RNG on the older version. Probably I'll need to try map 3 several more times, as I'm curious of how that looks like. Btw does it require to enter map 3 by finishing map 2, or should I just keep starting from map 3 until that RNG is triggered?

@kurochama there's an area like "witch's dream" or whatever on map 3 (it's RNG whether it's accessible or not), where the crying witches in the cells are...not sure how you've missed it if you've played through the campaign a few times (was accessible even on theolder version, but the added "skull gate" is new)

After checking & comparing with the older version I have on my laptop, I noticed several changes:
1. Color correction (the older one I have has simpler lighting)
2. Some custom music themes (the older version didn't have map transition theme etc).
3. Different mechanisms on the scavenge event (somehow on the older version, my bots could do the scavenge, but on this new version, they just cancelled the scavenge). I think the horde is more intense on this new version.
4. Slight fps drop (somehow my fps slightly dropped, but when testing the older version again, my fps went up). I wonder if it's because of color corrections or something else.

Btw about the witch things someone before me kept mentioning, is that an easter egg or something? I played this from beginning till the end without such puzzles about witch skull, as all I found were only switches & a door that needed fireaxe to break.

@Evil Well I guess we somehow missed that door on map 1 even though we went back, we'll recheck

As for the "one-time" area, I did some testing solo, coulda swore it got bugged on one restart...tried restarting after that and still just dumped me outside in cell area instead, weird I must have done something wrong that time

Yeah the console in SR, I always assumed those items were always there lol

And that switch outside the cell is the only one we came across I think, is it the only one to trigger the gen thingy? I think we cleared the map one time after pressing it but I didn't notice a difference (maybe the 2nd tank right before the saferoom?)

Anyways, an innocent suggestion, most authors post easter eggs/secrets (either in description or pinned in discussion), possibly add everything and flair it as "spoilers" or something?

I feel like we're missing out on a lot of things, it's convoluted, that gnome too is a mystery

The outdoor area in map 4 unlocks when you pick up the witch skull. Doesn't matter when you pick it up, you can go in the cave 10 times and then pick up the skull and the area will open the next time you use the portal. Now that I think of it though, it might not be a terrible idea to add a visual cue that you're about to go somewhere else.

You have to backtrack in map 1 to find what is unlocked once you hit all the switches. I think there's only like, 3 actual locked doors in that map but there's only 1 that you'd need to back track to find.

You mean the console in map 3? That one spawns a few extra items outside the safe room in the next map. Most people probably default to pressing that so the items seem like normal items. There should be more items there though, there's an unhooked template to spawn an auto shotgun and first aid kit too. I'll have to check this.

I think you mean a switch outside the small cell-like rooms when you come back from the witch cave in map 4? There's a hidden mechanic involving those buttons that affects the aftermath of turning the generator on.

@Evil Yeah a few things here:-
1- Still haven't found the "thing" needed for the "thing" past the skulls gate, SO painful, spent like 15-20mins trying to get back to that "one-time visit" area, whether you go there or not is apparently RNG (even if you restart) so we gave up eventually on doing that whole secret thingy

2- Still till this day have no idea what the switches on map 1 do, we got em all and looked all over to see if anything opened!

3- Console inside the saferoom on map 2?

4- Switch on map 3 right outside the room with a skull in it?

No idea if we've missed anything else, honestly gave up on map 3, felt like there was no point getting to map 4 and miss some more secrets since we haven't even done any of the ones prior to that, we've played the campaign before the update so we know how it goes, but felt like doing it after the update and completely missing everything was a waste, sadge :/

@Evil, I've played this campaign several times with and without color correction enabled. I know the color correction can't affect the lighting. Color correction shouldn't cause anything to look darker. I did find one graphics problem when I was in the Witch Cavern. There was a metal cage hanging inside that cavern. There was a big red ERROR sign above that metal cage. I didn't see any other missing textures in the campaign. The main difference I noticed about version 5 of this campaign is that the zombies moved faster and had more ways to attack. This version is more difficult to play than version 4.

@Evil, There's a console command called "mat_colcorrection_disableentities" that will disable the color correction in every L4D2 map. I could only get that console command to work by putting it into a script mod. Typing that command into the console didn't have any effect. I played the last map of this campaign about three times with and without the color correction enabled. The main difference I noticed was that everything had a blue tint with color correction enabled. I can't say for certain I was able to see more clearly without color correction. I think I had a flashlight mod called CrazyRabbit Tactical Flashlight installed the first time I played your campaign. That's why everything didn't look so dark. The problem with that mod is that it causes some maps to look too bright. There are probably better flashlight mods now.

Whoa, there is something very wrong with that counter. After 'fixing' it, the bots can somehow pick those kits up when they're standing in the street. Never seen that happen before. Gonna toss those kits on the floor probably.

As for the color correction, that was the biggest hold back really, outside of fixing the glitchy intro. Hard to really nail that universal look that fits everyone's monitors. Not sure how to apply any sort of option to deal with this other than adding a button in single player mode that would let people turn it off. I'll test this and see if it's a valid option. Let me know if there's anything else, seems I'm gonna have to update this one more time so now is a good time to bring up things that need attention.

The bot players won't pick up supplies in the last map. They won't pick up the first aid kits in the pink house. There are four med kits sitting on a countertop inside the pink house. They won't pick them up. That's true in version 5 of this campaign. I'm not crazy about the new color correction. I thought the color correction made everything look too dark. That's probably just me. I have never liked color correction that much. My computer monitor doesn't have adaptive brightness. That's probably why everything looked so dark in some places.

@Evil Will do, only found one of the skulls required but I guess we haven't checked thoroughly.

Look around the weird outdoor place you get teleported to when you pick up the witch skull. But check fast, you can only go there one time in a play through.

@Evil Yeah no idea what it is, tried using/attacking with both the bones and witch's arms and nothing happened, you said linked to the witch skull...those were the only 2 other things there!

@Evil So I'm assuming it's the witch's hand? It's the only other thing I can think of, I'll try it otherwise I'm not sure what it will be.
Either way good job with the update, I haven't played past that witch part so I don't know what other changes you've made, prior to that area the only changes I've noticed other than music/aesthetics was the occasional "double special" spawns here and there on certain parts.
Anything I should keep an eye out for that's possibly easy to miss?

There is indeed one more step once you reach the little alter. Only hint I can give that doesn't ruin it is that that's linked to the witch skull you find in the cave, but the witch skull isn't what actually goes there.

Need an answer (possible spoiler)
Got the skulls, opened the door, at the top there's an arrow pointing at something (all purple texture glitched out so couldn't even tell what it is), anything there to do or just the weapon/kit stash?

Unable to collect the fourth skull。

So I've addressed the issue with the buggy elevator, along with a ton of other little things. Is there anything else I should fix before I post the update?

Thing is i never stepped off and it still happened to me.

I haven't noticed any other issues with the campaign.

That does seem to be the case. Recorded the bug to verify: https://youtu.be/eIXlRsqCchE?si=ul9G64P6Z_8vrMt0

I think I see what the issue is, but can you verify? Is the issue that you can use the button if you stay on the exit elevator without stepping off, but the button becomes unusable if you step off the elevator then step back on?

Also, are there any other weird issues like this I should be aware of?

@Hunter Jumpscare Yeah it happens like 50% of the time and its very annoying.

Elevator at the end of Vertigo Tram 2 bugged out(pressed the button I think 10 million times yet nothing happened), but aside from that a very enjoyable campaign

cool beans!

wonderful map

this map is good for 4+ players

好玩，不错，给的资源刚刚好~~

its okay

玩了两关鸡儿都硬不起来，图太粗糙了，又大又空

Отличная, сбалансированная кампания. Финал не слишком напряжённый, интересно реализован: никуда не надо добираться, старт финала прям на выходе из последней убежки. Спасательный транспорт – вертолёт, сбрасывающий трос… Канистры туда нести не нужно, но блевоты не помешают)). Прошли с первого раза за 57 минут, без рестартов.
Спасибо автору!

its probably something on my end. i have so many stupid ass mods. anyway absolutley love your work. great maps

This is beyond strange. Both use the same model base but the actual model and the materials for both are completely different so technically they shouldn't have any affect on each other. But clearly they do somehow. I'm gonna look into this a bit further, I wanted to update this to add color correction anyways so this will give me another reason to actually do it. Let me know if you think there's anything else I should look into.

so this is weird. the problem was i didn't have the first encounter active in my addons list. now that it's active it's working as it should.

no not at all. are they not supposed to be invisible? i saw an error for some of the lights but nothing for the tank. it's labeled hulk in the console right?

Did you notice any weird text pop up when this happened (either on screen or in the console)? Maybe something along the lines of a shader error?

invisible tanks are a kick in the nuts. i call conspiracy and i call lollygagging!

나쁘지 않음. 나름 괜찮음. 마지막 탈출맵 엔딩 개 허무할뿐

Really good, even if it is a bit frustrating and claustrophobic sometimes

Insane Evil! Map was the perfect length that I crave for a custom map and the relentless zombie hordes was awesome. Highly recommend, easy 10/10 and I don't review ever so this had me breath taken.

very exciting and fun.

Well the Lore is so lazy!!! but its funy

第三关卡得跟ppt似的，我玩nm

Yes

Weird that it took 2 days for Steam to show me a notification for your comment. I haven't heard of the elevator in map 4 being bugged though. Can you give some info? You (and everyone else alive) made it into the elevator but the button couldn't be pressed?

Хули лифт не работает в 4ой главе?

Bugged elevator
