Green highlights are safe houses, where the map will change.

I can't help it. L4D is incredible.
I need to do a whole campaign.roughly 0.87 miles (1.40km) passing several iconic Glasgow locations and finishing in the wonderful Glasgow Central Station, where survivors will escape via Train.

If it's done well, it will be truly epic.
I keep forgetting how there needs to be a 'series' of maps for L4D levels, making there so many possibilities.

I really hope you can suggest to the director where tanks should spawn, because the large carpark (which will be a tad less densely populated) would be a hillarious tank fight.

hmm. i wonder if it automatically adds that blue glow around interactive items. Could be a little difficult to make buttons obviously interactive if it doesn't, since that's what players are used to.

This is a great idea for a campaign, and now you've said you'll do it, you have to do it, otherwise TWHL will rise against you.

tsk Hunter my man I thought you of all people knew by now you shouldn't declare you are building this and this before actually having much done.
What happens if you get bored? Will you finish it? What about that source Mod you showed us for example?
I'm sure you'll do it but try to keep the declaring to a minimum ;P I'd help in small bits but I don't know anything about that area so

Hah that's not too hard to do. Like a rounded box with some gay curve bits. Only pain is a texture since I don't own one but I'm sure I could find one somewhere.
Erm but for now I'mma play some L4D since I haven't done so in a while
Speaking of which when you say "Microplay" do you mean the map or are you putting that in your L4D map

Besides I could really do with building on my Source mapping skills.**
After playing through L4D I feel I have a real eye for gameplay mechanics and how to make a functional yet challenging set of maps.***
* Urby has never been to glasgow
** Since release of the Orange Box SDK Urby has put a serious amount of work into thinking about using it.
*** Yeah...I'll playtest.

Why dont you just call it "Glasgow" and seperate the whole campaign in different chapters. Whould be much more awsome. Me and 3 friends just finished the last campaign on expert in 5 hours We killed 6710 zombies.

Is it me, or does it seem that the run from Saint Enoch Shopping Centre to the next safehouse is going to be a hike.
But the whole idea of escaping from a train at Central Station is great.

If i put the final safe house closer to the shopping centre, players would get annoyed having to replay the final section to replay the final? (I know I do in 2 out of 4 of the official campaigns) and the centre itself is really too open for me to cut a section off to be a safehouse.

Sounds like a good plan, but don't be too worried about making it like the real city. Real Life locations aren't always that great for gameplay- hallways in games, for example, are usually 2-3 times wider than they would be IRL. Just make sure that gameplay > realism in your work, because 99% of the players won't have been to Glasgow, and won't care how much it looks like it. They just want to play a fun level.

Thought you might want to see that the first test compile was a complete success, testing the scale and new textures to theme Microplay.
The infected die...
and the map itself:
work in progress!
note that it's been compiled in the Ep2 engine because Left 4 Dead's SDK has yet to be released.
I've been very busy.
The ones taken in Central Station all feature my estranged friend because you're not allowed to take pictures in stations. We pretended to be foreign and taking holiday snaps. it worked.

The unquestionably fantastic Habboi has contributed a lot to this campaign by creating several rather splendid models.
One of which is this rather dashing entertainment system.
and because i'm good to you, have a very WIP screenshot from the inside of Microplay

I love the white wall textures because they remind me of Mirror's Edge. All nice and clean. I'm sure it'll look fantastic when the final compile is hit

Hunter has the right approach I think, I definately find it easier making something as it is THEN destroying it, it helps to keep it realistic and you can focus on areas alot more, rather than planning how it's going to look all messed up and getting dissapointed that it doesn't look like the building.

Never noticed the Call of Duty joke. Lolled when I did.
Also, lets not forget that with the infection spreading and Glasgow being, you know, the way it is, Microplay may very well have been raided by now.
Consoles and PC's will have gone.

I need some input please.
I'm debating whether or not to add an appartment and rooftop section.
while this would offer welcome variance from the streets - location - streets - location repetition, it is already present in almost, if not all of the official campaigns.
Opinions?

2) as a DVD/game box with title and imagary of your choice.
