Full story here.

Its called “Crash Course” and apparently will bring some other changes to multi-player beyond just a new map.

Community L4D Campaign, Death Aboard uploaded to DWL Server

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

You can download it from the server when you connect (I think), or you can grab the vpk file here and put that in your “Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead\left4dead\addons\” folder.

I hear its pretty good.

Alienware L4D Event.

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

In the opening phase of the tournament, August 10th – September 3rd, up to 256 teams will compete in group play matches with up to 8 teams per group. The top team from each group, 32 groups in all, will advance to the double-elimination finals bracket running from September 10th to October 8th.

Details Here.

We’ve got some more time to polish our VS tactics before it starts, I created a team, so register if you’re interested :)

Alienware will also be at Quakecon apparently, games TBA.

And there is a currently running league we might be able to get into, check that out Here

Tonights match, DWL vs NSF on Death Toll

Monday, July 20th, 2009

According to Newegg these are the names of our competition:


1. Lordcodin
2. Respectable (Captain)
3. Cripple-Killer
4. Cripple

Doesn’t look like they play much L4D. Lets still get together for a practice run tonight around say, 7 ?

L4D Updated with Lobby Browsing. DWL Server Restarted.

Friday, July 17th, 2009

Hey I restarted the server just now to apply the patch, so it should be up and running for anyone who needs to use it.

DWL Server, now with actual working!

Read a lot more about the different cvars, and realized sv_searchkey was fucking us. Apparently every client has to have an identical search key to connect.

The trick is for the lobby leader to issue the following into the console

ms_force_dedicated_server “68.232.166.80:27015″

or put that line in your autoexec.cfg – we tried putting it in the config.cfg but steam cloud kept clearing it out!

Big thanks to Krackin for helping my troubleshoot this.

L4D server rented, competition config uploaded…

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

Now we’re ready to start practicing for real. I’ve rented a L4D dedicated server in the Dallas location of Gameservers.com, uploaded the official CEVO configs (which the newegg tourney is using) and I *think* set it up such that you have to be in the Deft with Lead steamgroup (or at least 1 person in your lobby does?) in order to use it.

More info here.

That link won’t work if you aren’t logged into Wordpress, it will just show a 404. This is because its got the password for the Vent server :)
