Hints and Tips

String table differs from servers

This is where your version of a map differs from the servers or host, eg version 1 and version 2 host will select version 2 however for the other players it will select version 1 from the addon list thus the different string table

In orde to solve it simply delete the older version of that map and it should allow you to join the game

How to install addons

You can either copy the VPK.file into the addons folder or just doublieclick on the VPK file when it has a steam logo and should automatically install into the addons folder

Scenarios Overlapping

In some cases scenarios that share the same name may overlap and cause other campaigns to load for example silent hill and back to school both have a scenario called town, when trying to load silent hill town it would load back to school finale instead, in order to stop this one of the scenarios with the overlapping name scenario would need to be deleted

I love Death Aboard it's really well made, same goes for powerstation might be a bit short though, and Dam It is more of a fun map with loads of traps Grin
Really worth testing!

Powerstation is the one with traps and Dam it is too short.

Deathaboard is well made, but can get very confusing in the early levels. The boat level was cool at first but gave me a headache after a while. The car container is a total dick move and the finale is annoying as there's no indication where the rescue vehicle is, I was frantically running around and only after 2 minutes I saw the fucking balloon in the distance. Also bots can't navigate around it at anything but straight lines.
 
Raven
Yeah i agree with the car in the container basically means instant incap for the unlucky bastard who didnt know first time XD

Agreeing partially with Death Aboard, but I loved the boat lvl and the car thing made me shit my pants, I climbed up the ladder, raven shoots the container without telling me, I climb down totally frightened and barely make it out. Grin
And yeah, Finale was total bs imo, you activate the radio and the horde immediately starts attacking and you don't know where the fuck the vehicle is.

That Toronto thing was just awful. Can't think of one good thing about it.
 
Raven
Yeah its still in development however the trouble is its a massive map with no clear indication of where to go, also it was incredibly dark i was just running to the wall and following cus i cudnt see where to go

The worst part was the end of the 2nd map where there wasn't a way into the safehouse, it was completely blocked off...
 
Raven
Added a new campaign night terror to the list its a definite get excellent work into the campaign goes through 5 scenarios which are nightmares and you gotta wake up at the end (rescie)

Even on advanced it took me capt and undead a while to do but its a really good laugh Smile
