<div class="IPBDescription">go! make!</div>so if you go to the tools tab in steam you'll see that you can install the l4d sdk. the update to l4d to distribute these new maps won't be out for a couple weeks, but theres everything set up to make maps, infected, and what have you. also there's a pretty nice tutorial that you can access through the sdk on how to do pretty much all of the things that are done in the official maps. the only thing i didn't see was how to make a survival map, but i'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult after some tinkering.

    Well, then do so? And leave the mapping to those who actually want to?

    I like this. I will start mapping again! I havn't released a map since Pvk_loot.
    This time though, I will follow through and update it, and not get bored after beta-release.




    I know I can!

    We need some L4D/NS crossover. Someone recompile an NS map in L4D and replace normally zombies with skulks, hunters with fades, boomers with giant gorges, tanks with onoses and smokers... with... lerks... yeah, well, just do it. Go go go.
