thanks for that. I would like to continue working on it, but there has been some developments that might put this project on hold.

before you play the game, type in "sv_consistency 0" without qoutes into the console.

Disable all of your other mods before you play this.

I have thought about it, yes.

There is no third level yet, sorry! Thats the end of the campaign.

Hit F3 and search for your folder called "addons". It should be under steamapps and Left4Dead2. Put it there.

Flame thrower is looking good.

Lol, I spelled it prechache.

DEATHWING is broken at the moment because of the new L4D2 file structure. Ill try to get it fixed as soon as I can.

Hey guys, Ive been getting a lot of people with prechache errors. This is because L4D2 folder structures have been altered by Valve and its caused mayhem for the mod. I will try to find a solution and post an updated mod as soon as I can. Thanks for the patience.

type in "sv_consistency 0" into the console before you run the maps, that should fix it.

I agree. The genestealers in DEATHWING are only loud if you play with the wrong settings. We have disabled 90% of their whines and squeeks, so if they are quite loud, then you havent started the game correctly.

As far as deaths, I might be able to do something similar.

exterminatus is based off the sdk, so they have free reign of everything they make. L4d2 is still locked down, so what we see is what we get. There are some tricky things I can do to the flamer to get it to work better, but they are fairly difficult to implement.

Thanks very much, glad you enjoy it.

you only type in exec once, should be "exec deathwing_coop"

I would say this more is more intensive than regular l4d2 because its not optimized to the same level l4d is. To compare; I made and play this game seamlessly on an ancient core 2 quad with 4 gigs of ram and 9800gt. If your specs are lower than that, then it may have some issues.

Oh sorry to hear that. What computer specs are you running?

Ive got you covered.

Yes I looked into this but it requires sourcemod to run. I am currently looking into vscripts to get the flamethrower to behave.

This is great, thanks so much. New update is coming soon so the bots actually pick up weapons now :0

Its possible that the mod is conflicting with other mods. move your other addons to another folder temporarily and try it out.

Ya its in the works right now.
Those are some pretty good ideas. I would love to have the termies doing space walks on the side of walls, but just isnt a thing source likes to do.

I like the idea of cross pollination of various ships. I may incorporate that into the campaign when I can.

Thats whats funny about moddb. I released some test demo of the mod in its worst state, and they put me on the front page, and I get 2000 hits in a day. I release the actual game, and all I get are crickets. The mod is now on steam workshop, which has picked up a lot of interest.

Working on level 2 right now, gents.

Ya its slowly making its way through the internet. Random or not, glad you found it.

You will be pleased to know that your words have inspired me, and Ive spent the whole evening toiling away at level 2 so good folk like yourself dont go empty handed. Not going to lie, doing this mod is hard work, and the source engine doesnt make it any easier, but as you can imagine, this is a labor of love, so I must go on.

I cant promise anyone when this thing will be done. Ive got grand plans for the mod, and while I would like to see them through, I also have to feed myself from time to time, so life gets in the way.

I checked out your game, and its looking really great. I love the Titan-esq mechs. I was never into the "Epic" 40k, but I used to watch my friends play it. Relic left a lot to be desired with dow2, so maybe you guys can fill that void.

This is great. I have to apologize for the bots though. Maybe ill get a steam group running.

Sorry guys, nothing yet. Just got back from vacation.

Sure, that would be great.

Theres something weird about how moddb works in regards to promotion and advertising mods. About a year ago I released a short clip of the mod being tested in some default levels. That post went to front page for a week and I got over 2000 hits the first day. I release the demo, and it doesnt make any page and gets maybe 700 hits from updates notices. All this mod needs is to go back on the front page of moddb again, and the rest is history. Maybe if I ask nicely?

Cyclone it is!
