Introducing the Fort Builder Menu!

[Dusty33]

Fort Building Made easy!-UPDATEDx4
Hello and welcome!
After spending some time with my friends messing around the with the prop_dynamic/physics_create commands I decided to make a compass menu for easy use of the basic commands!

v1.4 completely replaced the rotate menu with props. The rotate tool is now handled by binding ent_rotate to a single key. It will automatically rotate by about 15 degrees each time you press it! Also added a new cfg command for clearing the map of all zombies and bots and preventing more from spawning!
Credit for the rotate goes to PhanracK.

Instructions
First copy and paste the code to your Radialmenu script in "...\steamapps\common\left 4 dead\left4dead\scripts" before the last "}"

After that start up the game and in the console type bind "*anykey*" "+mouse_menu Fortmenu", do the same for Fortmenu 2 and Fortmenu 3.

Next for the rotate command to work simply type in bind "*anykey*" "ent_rotate"

Now for the Zombie and Clear The Map command to work you need to create two .cfg files in "...\steamapps\common\left 4 dead\left4dead\cfg" called horde and clearmap with the following commands in this order:

Horde:
director_start
director_panic_forever 1
z_common_limit 400
z_mob_spawn_min_size 50
z_mob_spawn_max_size 100
z_mob_spawn_finale_size 75
director_force_panic_event
sv_cheats 0

Clearmap:
nb_delete_all
director_stop


This is the best way to test your fort as it will turn cheats off and summon a large semi-continous horde of zombies. Best expirence of Advanced or expert!

NOW GET OUT THERE AND BUILD SOME FORTS!


WARNING!
The prop remove command can be very dangerous so use the highlighter/picker to make sure your aiming at what you want deleted. DO NOT delete any of the players as this will remove there entity from the entire game and they MAY have to ctrl alt delete out of the game.

This is very much an open project so feel free to offer prop suggestions and constructive crticism! ENJOY!

Full L4D prop list
Courtesy of Shinyblackkitty this is the dev community page with a full alphabetical list of the props you can spawn.

http://developer.valvesoftware.com/w..._of_L4D_Models

I am currently looking through it to find new props if you want something added either suggest it to me or simply put it in the script yourself as it is fairly straight forward. A guide to doing so can be found here.<-Tutorial not by me.

1+rep for all the new fun this offers, anyone wanna post pics on theres forts? would be fun to see

[JackieChan]

I'd like to see this actually be made into a mod once the SDK comes out.

[chippy]

Sweet.

10char

[Kaizoku]

Sourceforts + L4D...? Someone get on that...

Really though, great job on this. I really hope this leads to build and defend maps/mods for L4D.

[Subatomic]

You, sir, are awesome! Have some rep.

[RafaDelic]

Wow thats awesome, some defense mods would be nice with extra beat down since people can just make things like mazes to slow zombies down and such... a mod with this would need a limit to the number of dropable stuff... imagine no mercy finale, giant platform at the top with walls and roof and a walled off walkway to the helipad which is the only entrance to the fort... Good work, awesome but dangerous.

[BagOfChips]

I don't get how you can make a fort out of those pops ?_? can someone link me a pic of one they made?

[WarKirby]

I loved what little of the sourceforts maps I played in Tf2, so this sounds awesome.

Plus, lots of people want to build barricades

[Nosepicker]

Don't waste your time. this blows

Could you be more elaborate and less offensive? At least tell me what I did wrong and don't just post "zomg this sux."

Also thanks for all the reaction! I'll get some screenshot examples up soon!

[Candycane]

Wow, that sounds awesome. Nice find.

I think I'll go try that in single player now. I'll post screen shots if I make anything good.

[gameprey]

Pics? Vids of this?

[gunner1334]

nosepicker is just the biggest troll on this forum ignore him... really do

[herschede16]

pretty cool.

some1 post some fort ss's!
