I can get the doors to close in the mall, but not the gate. Sitting there holding the button does nothing; gate doesn't come down. Lights on panel indicate gate not closed but again, it won't activate. Tried it first time, quit, reloaded level, tried it again, same problem. I am playing single player with bots. Is this a bug in the game scripting and if so is it being fixed in the "Directors Cut" version I just read about earlier in this thread?

well, it should work. at the second gate you first have to call andy over the walkie talkie then close the gates.

anyway, we did a little update about the upcoming Directors cut version:

These are the final release notes for the director's cut version of Dead Before Dawn (only for left 4 dead 2) which we will release on january 26th:

Changes final list: for dbd2 Version 4 (Director's cut)

Citylights map (1) removed: Anna is gone is now map 1
New map: Undead Center added as map 4
New loadingscreen
Fixed 3/4 version of the loading screen showing the outrosreen

Map 1 Anna is gone:

Created a new intro similar to our stylized credit trailer
Deleted all explosion enities at the blocked tunnel, because some ppl get hurt there.
Colored many props darker cause we had some lighting props
Added a HUGE sign to warn player of the chopper blades
First half of the map has now only t1 weapons
Weapon spawn density increased by .500 pts to provide more weapons in the beginning of the map
Magnum pistol spawns

Map 2 The Mall:

Colored all props in the safehouse cause they were also lighting
Equalized mall supply door opening event with approximate crescendo duration
Added some gifts in dead end areas
Changed the lighting in some areas

Map 3 Clean up:

Added a slightly moving camera for the toilet scene
Added more hints for player to know where to go
The west gate "hold buttons" event is optimized to avoid glitchy button syndrome when playing on high ping servers
North gate speed increased by 15%
Nav optimization
Empty battlefield to ease up too much zombies during north gate event
Versus measures to ease up north gate event (director script adaptations)
1 more "event salvation" item in the locked gun shop

Map 4 Undead Center:

SURPRISE! but if you didn't like the 1 millionst gate event, then you will hate this map :P

Map 5 New Dawn:

Ammo in the start saferoom
Fixed some nav problems
Fixed FinaleEscapeVehicleReadyForSurvivors trigger delay (bots didnt get to rescue vehicle nav)
Finale hordes are slightly bigger

Good deal, though I don't think we can have too many great maps to play.

What 2 weeks wtf? Who cares, IHM has already had their day and then some, having your campaign out now won't hurt either campaign either way. This isn't a developer waiting for another popular game to come out before releasing theirs because they are afraid it will detract sales. Both are free and why can't people play both. Just seems kind of a cop out especially when it was supposed to be released on the 26th.

It's 2 days before release and here's our extended story trailer about the campaign:

I am DLing the new release of Dead Before Dawn Directors Cut now. http://www.l4dmaps.com/details.php?file=7774

I doubt I'll find a server that has it since it was just released but I will plow through it and see if it looks like it will be a good one for RV play.

Thanks for your obvious hard work. It is appreciated.
