My L4D2 Map: Field of Screams

[squidbuddy99Member]

As some of you might already know, I am making my own custon Left 4 Dead 2 map! Since I’m going into college soon for game design, I figured this might be a good introduction and a way to spend some free time. Despite some small issues, it’s going along well. It mostly takes place around and inside a baseball stadium:
1: Highway Roadblock
2: Chinatown
3: Parking Lot
4: Stadium Indoors
5: Diamond

While it is going along rather well, I would like a little help on the side. For instance, anyone with knowledge on using L4D2 Authoring Tools or anything of the sort would be a big help for advice on problems. Also, I am in need of someone to make an introduction poster design for the map along these lines:
-All 4 survivors on a baseball field
-the title of the map, Field of Screams
-Some kind of witty tagline having to do with baseball :P

Any help with making custom designs for grafitti for the saferooms and for the actual stadium would also be awesome if anyone can help. Anyways, I hope this thing gets done soon so you guys can play it!

What kind of graffiti are you looking for? I’m not a graffiti artist but I can probably whip something up in Photoshop and submit it for review :)

Are you looking for VGA memes, references to the community, easter egg-like stuff, generic graffiti or something else?

Well, for Chinatown, I need some Chinese language grafitti, maybe one with some made-up chinese figure with lots of other grafitti near it berating it on racism. Other than that, general grafitti would be cool, plus maybe one or two vga memes. It’s not meant to be directly related to VGA, but it can still get a giggle from those who know it well.

The first stage of my map is done! It works really well, zombies are randomly spawned, the director even spawned a very convenient Witch somewhere I never told it to! Still, there’s one part where the bots get all confuzzled, and making a map that requires you to jump onto something is hard to do with bots, since they’re extra stupid. I don’t think this is a good map to go in solo, is what I’m saying ._. It’s still better than Crash Course, though XD.

Nice! I didn’t know other Turbos were making Source engine maps!
