Information/Misson
Kill 200 drones and make it to the escape room at the northern part of the escape area.


Also:
Just a heads up, I'm still experimenting with the whole custom campaign creation. Still learning. I'll be making more complex missions and such in a later release of the map.


Some people also created fan videos for the map (Thanks to all involved! <3 =])

1st, there is no way to tell if you got to 200 kills, 2nd, I'm pretty sure we got to 200 and the door still didn't open.

[NAKarwisch]

There is a button next to the door you have to press. I'll look at it and make sure it's working properly.

[Mono.]

There should be a rule that reinforces screenshots.

[Derpster]

I think the objective should be switched from killing 100 drones to 200.

Also, the door did not work for us, and we are sure we got over 200 kills (the debrief put us at 224).

[NAKarwisch]

Alright, I just updated it. I'm not able to get to 200 by myself so if you could test it for me again let me know. =]

[falanx]

everything works! beat it twice today =P

can't wait to see what else you come out with, keep up the good work!

[Gueri1la]

cool map dude. best survival map for now.
medic died at 80 kills but flamethrower solved ^^

[NAKarwisch]

Tilegen works wonders. Although, tilegen is really plain. It mostly just puts down terrain, then having to go in hammer and refining it. I'm working on a full type campaign of survival maps.

Starting out with the first map which is 200 kills.

Then 400... 600... 800... 1000.

Then the last level is a queen.

[Ahysates]

Your latest entry says that this is v1.5, but when I install it, it says 1.4. Are you sure that the download link is up to date?

[NAKarwisch]

Ah, forgot to update the addon information file. I'll fix it within a few minutes. The download link is to the latest version though. =]

[SplatterHomicid]

I dont know how to start the map, any help please? D: Its already marked in the add-on options

[NAKarwisch]

You can create a game by going to the main menu, clicking : Play Online > Create Game > Campaign > Naks Campaign.

Then click create game.

This is more of a darker style map; flashlights might be useful here ;p

[NAKarwisch]

I want to try this, I added it like the instructions mention, then activated it in addons, and then when I try to create a game it stay there maybe forever, I was staring at the rotating circle for 3-4 minutes of it saying "Creating Game" after which I did a ragequit.

Am I missing something? :confused:

[Bluecat]

This has happened to me before on a few addons as well, usually when I went to create a friends only game, then I just defaulted to public and it kicked in fine.

That explains the problem, I tried to make it friends-only.

Okease dont spam your website.

[xeonzs]

Okay I tried it in a public (made 2 new friends :D) had great fun for sure, some of the peepz that joined even got the achievement to prevent eggs from hatching (cause I killed eggs uberfast lolol)

There were 3 main problems:

1. We only figured out after several tries that the main waves will spawn after you pushed the button even if you can't yet, might want to make it so that once all players are on the hill, the waves start. (like on timor station, all players need to be on the landing dock before bloodhound will come to hover, so it's a area trigger)

2. the mortar aliens stay in the north part of the map, they don't move, therefor 2 tactics become totaly overpowerd:

Fire mines at the spawnpoint's entrance, nothing can enter, just farm your way to 200 kills and then move out together.

In the left and right side of the map are 2 little gaps in the walls covered by pipes, put 1 guy with a chainsaw there and you win, the other can sit back and save ammo for the run to the hill.

3. you don't have to trigger the waves, you can just kill the random spawns (the simulated l4d AI director).

Very interesting. I would like to find out more about these. Perhaps adding some "download information" to your "download information page"? Descriptions of more than objectives are nice. Screenshots are very good. Videos are great.

If you do update either this thread (best) or your website, please make a note of these changes and include them in your OP.

[NAKarwisch]

Updated the original post, included some gameplay of the maps filmed by players.

It took us like two or three days with a couple hours at a time, but the three of us finally got it down :).

Awesome map, would love to see some additions.
