Taking longer than we'd thought

Taking longer than we thought, so may be a bit later. If things speed up you could very well see an 11pm release still. We'll keep you in the know.

Valve Time is the new infection. :(

Do megaupload links 'stop' or 'die' after a certain time/number of downloads? I might upload it to the ftp thing I use if that's the case.

I'm not sure but I think they limit users based on the number of downloads they make. Like, if you're a free user you can't download too much at once. They don't remove files etc.

Oh. I might put it up anyway, most people tend to dl faster.

On that Tank, I wish I had picked you up when the tank started tossing his rock at Sanjuro..I think I could have picked you up, but he was really close to everyone. :(

Well you still handled it way better than I would have! I would've looked away for two seconds, screaming, turned around, and found a rock flying at me at unbelievable speeds.

'Cause I'm pro. O;

I'm just surprised those trees worked so well. Cold Case has 15 maps? And the other one has..?

Guess it's a good thing I woke up about 2 hrs ago.

Dead Before Dawn hit a snag

Well, nothing ever goes as planned does it. There will be a delay in release again, problems have arose and we are currently in communication with tech support on our servers.

A new time will be announced soon.

Stephan has personally apologised on his behalf, none of us expected this, but hey things like this happen.

Once again sorry for the delay, stay tuned for updates.

There's a readme!

teehee

i read it. It just says throw it in the addon folder. I looked into the cc folder and there were other stuff like sounds and etc. I'm used to just putting one file the vpk in that folder. Just wanted to make sure.

And kind of a doozer. I think I've got it working. I alt-tabbed out of the game right now to hopefully skip the intro.

Not the readme in the addon folder. The readme along side it. It has some command you have to type into the console to compile the audio. Then restart.

EDIT: And the intro is still going. How long is it?:lol

I'm ready to go, too. I'm not gonna play by myself, because I'll give myself vertigo if I keep walking in the same circle over and over. Hopefully more than 2 eyes will spot something I'm missing.

Oh shit. You can skip it by pressing e?

The first level isn't. At least I was too stupid to not keep walking in circles in the HL2 prison yard.

I couldn't figure out how to get past the very first screen, with the instructions on the wall about the intro. 'Cause I'm dumb.

Yeah. I was also completely lost.

You should do what the readme says to do :p

Put all your files in the data.7z files. Files must be as seen in the cc folder.

That's all the readme says.

Gonna give it a try, zip still has awhile to upload though.

there is another readme outside of the cc folder. That's the one which says to rebuildaudiocache.

Dead before Dawn releasing by torrent for now.

There are currently DNS issues, so we will be releasing this as a torrent only for now. If you dont know how to open and download a torrent, you can download a program such as bit torrent to do this for you. Torrent is coming soon of which will be seeding of SEVEN servers for high speeds. Stay tuned

I overwrote it, so the one from Cold Case comes up as being from 2 days ago, I already did the cache thing. Seems to be working fine.

Don't see the torrent for DBD though.

A friend of mine wants to host and says it should be fine for him to, and Vol wants to play, so we are looking for 1 more for Cold Case.

I was for a second, since Cold Case just finished uploading.

How did that go?

My ping was way too high to play while uploading.

If that megaupload is too slow, you can grab Cold Case from the ftp thing I use:

http://redscarlet.paragonsigma.com/L4D/cc.7z

Not sure. After we all died, my connection timed out. I'm getting DBD right now and it's taking forever on torrent. It is a big file though. 1 GB

Yeah, I have about 3.5 hrs left. I won't upload that until I go to bed. I want to play the maps tonight, not tomorrow!

At least the World Series is on, so that should bide the time over.
 

Tremis

This man does his research.
we are still doing cold case. its ridiculously long. i'm sure you'll find it interesting. we aren't taking it seriously though, since its just the two of us left and its waaaay to hard. just checking it out, plus we got stuck and no clipped since the puzzles are crazy with lots of backtracking.

Gaf, I am so disappointed we only got one game together tonight. Soo disappointed. The one game was great though. I love you all.
Well maybe if you'd play like a man instead of a manbaby more of us would join in!

That's right.

I went there.

Again.

Well, I got them both installed..however I have an inkling feeling that neither are going to be worth it, at least Cold Case doesn't seem to be.

Cold Case gives me that impression, as well. Dead Before Dawn seems more promising, if only because it's not as pretentious.

Of course I've played up to this point zero custom campaigns. O;
