Left 4 Dead Left 4 Dead Sun, 19 May 2013 08:28:28 +0000 Sun, 19 May 2013 08:28:28 +0000 ValveTime.net | Valve News, Forums, Steam http://www.valvetime.net/forums/left-4-dead.101/ Left 4 Dead 2 broke a secondary screen and perhaps drivers
Left 4 Dead 2 is like a virus that really seems to **** up computers. Every computer I've ever used to run it, eventually took a big fat clubbing from the game such as broke graphics card, broke drivers, made the computer reboot frequently, bluescreen, etc.

Anyways, anyone know how to fix that bloody "Not optimum mode" screen that is a little box on my secondary screen? It simply won't show the desktop no matter how hard I try.]]> Sun, 03 Mar 2013 13:59:34 +0000 http://www.valvetime.net/threads/left-4-dead-2-broke-a-secondary-screen-and-perhaps-drivers.243223/ http://www.valvetime.net/threads/left-4-dead-2-broke-a-secondary-screen-and-perhaps-drivers.243223/ Wolfy Snackrib Wolfy Snackrib L4D machinima
Anyway, I decided I wanted to try my hand at a spot of machinima, just for something to do. Specifically, I wanted to make it using left 4 dead 2. I've been doing some tests to see what i can do, and so far its all good except for one thing. When I record a demo, it takes it from the perspective of the player that does the recording, which means that I can't have that player on the screen, even if I move the camera around. I've been googling and reading for a while, and everything I've read tells me its not possible, but all the information is old. I'm just about resigned to writing a 3 person story, but I thought I would ask here first.

Is there anyway to use a standard recording and get all 4 characters on camera?
Is there a method for the listen server to record the demo, capturing everything? I seem to remember goldsrc having something like this?
Is SourceTV enabled for L4D2? The most recent info I can find says its not, but thats 8 months old.
Can anyone suggest an alternative method I haven't thought of?

Hope that makes sense, I've been reading for a couple hours solid and am a bit frazzled.]]> Wed, 23 Jan 2013 08:32:12 +0000 http://www.valvetime.net/threads/l4d-machinima.243079/ http://www.valvetime.net/threads/l4d-machinima.243079/ Link Link 2 Co-operative between PAYDAY: The Heist and Left 4 Dead
I'm new here, but i think this will interest you :
"OVERKILL announces co-operative initiative between PAYDAY: The Heist and Left 4 Dead"
Ulf Andersson, Game Director at OVERKILL, has released the following statement:
“As perceptive gamers will have noticed, several hints have recently been dropped into PAYDAY The Heist, which has led to various rumors. We are excited to be able to confirm that an in-depth collaboration between OVERKILL and Valve is currently in production.
We are working on a very cool blend of PAYDAY and Left 4 Dead. I am sure it is so exciting that it will have some players check into the hospital before we are done.”

Between these dates, there will be 4 games of versus, organised for the most convenient times for the teams to take part. Plenty of days between those dates to players to get together. It will be captains responsibility to make sure your team knows when they are playing and available.

As I've mentioned before, the tournament is double elimination. So losing teams in the first round get a 2nd chance and can still win the tournament! If you are not familiar with this system, all will become clear when we add the draws / tournament bracket during next week.

EDIT: Bracket added - see below!!!
[IMG]

PLEASE NOTE: I will be updating this bracket every week, and you'll need to hard refresh to get the most up to date version. (Current version from 17th March)

Lastly, temporary subs can be used if players cannot make a round in the tournament but must be submitted to me or AciD at least 1 hour before the scheduled game starts. Note 1 player cannot play for 2 teams in a single round!]]> Thu, 14 Jul 2011 08:10:40 +0000 http://www.valvetime.net/threads/halflife2-net-tournament-start-date-and-team-draws.152762/ http://www.valvetime.net/threads/halflife2-net-tournament-start-date-and-team-draws.152762/ Hectic Glenn Hectic Glenn 166 OMGLOLWTF STORM!

I was thinking about The Passing and how the original L4D crew meets up with the new guys just before they sail off to the sunset (in the comic). They meet up relatively early in the L4D2 crew's journey and at the very end of the L4D1 crew. This occurs after they've encountered the military and found out that they were a bunch of crazy people who kept them prisoner with poor management and the goal of turning them in to an experiment. So why did they not bother telling the L4D2 people that the military were probably going to **** them over? Instead they leave them to run off through danger and exploding bridges to jump on a military helicopter and probably end up going down the same road that near got them killed.

Just thought it was weird. I'm not even going to ask why they didn't invite them along to their island paradise...]]> Mon, 07 Mar 2011 21:15:43 +0000 http://www.valvetime.net/threads/something-i-noticed.176232/ http://www.valvetime.net/threads/something-i-noticed.176232/ StarBob StarBob 3 L4D installation and Steam account help

1) Is the intro video canon? I was just thinking, because despite fighting hordes of zombies in each other's presence in the intro, at the start of Dead Center they don't seem acquainted with each other or the zombies.

2) In Dark Carnival, at the finale you hear the words to the Midnight Riders song without them being there. Do you think that, god forbid,

Very interesting indeed. A team member will have to sacrifice him or herself to save the rest. Also, the upcoming L4D2 DLC will allow you to meet 3 of the survivors of L4D1.

This is what I call quality DLC.

Valve will be releasing some comics for L4D, giving the idealized interpretation of the events, which means the death of one of the survivors will be canon. My bet is on Zoey, because Valve couldn't be this predictable. Though in the game we could choose who will die.

This is already posted in the news and announcement. Just thought I'd bring some L4D discussion in the L4D area.
