If you are bored of the demo maps you can now play the City 17 part of Half-Life 2: Episode One in Left 4 Dead. All you need is the game and GCFScape. I could have spent a few hours getting a list of content used and made a download with the maps and all the other files, but I'm not sure if Valve would like that. I would be essentially giving out half of EP1 to everyone for free and I believe that could be labeled as piracy. So here are the instructions:

Do all of the below:
open /steam/steamapps/source materials.gcf
and extract the contents of /hl2/materials/ to
steam/steamapps/common/left 4 dead demo/hl2/materials

open /steam/steamapps/source models.gcf
and extract the contents /hl2/models/ to
steam/steamapps/common/left 4 dead demo/hl2/models

open /steam/steamapps/episode 1 shared.gcf
and extract the contents of /episodic/ to
steam/steamapps/common/left 4 dead demo/hl2/

open /steam/steamapps/half-life 2 episode one.gcf
and extract the contents of /episodic/maps to
steam/steamapps/common/left 4 dead demo/left4dead/maps

Server #1: 67.85.154.146:27010 (Lots of zombies)
Server #2: 67.85.154.146:27013 (Considerably less zombies)
Pass: epone

Notes:

• Maps are on a timer, you will get an announcement before the map changes. If your whole team dies the timer will be reset.
• In the hospital map you can fall down into water. If you fall go to an edge and press space till you reach the top and get onto the stairs.
• You can see the sky at 2 doors, don't be alarmed, it's an Area Portal that is not opened correctly. Just go into it and it will be all fine.

Ravenholm:

I am aware that a lot of you would like to play Ravenholm in L4D and I am working on that. There are a few problems though:

• The first map crashes on load (There's a model or a texture that is incompatible with L4D).
• The map before the last is not really playable because L4D does not support swimming in water and you just fall to your dead when you jump into water.

nice 1 dude

this is PRECISELY why I got L4D for the PC - the community support for getting this sort of thing working!

Of course, if Valve were to release these maps for people who already own the respective games, then that would be SWEET! You know you wanna fend off zombies in the train station all the way back in the beginning of HL2 or fend them off when defending White Mountain

Yes I have made the navigations for the maps and the director spawns zombies/hordes/smokers/boomers/etc. I will also be adding automated spawns for the witch/tank soon.

For me it's all about Ravenholm L4D!

Oh! Also, imagine playing through the dark, abandoned prisons and stuff, of HL2's Nova Prospekt maps in L4D! Working through those maps with flashlights and infected everywhere would be flat-out creepy and amazing, I think!

Can anyone help me

I extracted all files but I am still missing some textures. Is it working properly for you? I am missing for example debres or some wall textures. Other than that it is awesome.
