2 things:
-There's so much going on in terms of what the computer has to generate. It doesn't feel friendly to players who may also have somewhat aged PCs. Mine is about 4 or so years old. Not exactly top notch, but I can play WoW raids and such just fine with it, so that's kind of my bar for comparison. The part on the third (I think) chapter where you have to go down the really long umbrella elevator was an absolute nightmare. All the way to the laser room. Can't really fight a horde, much less a tank with so much lagging and rubber banding going on.
-The laser room was really nice. Loved it. However, I died to it. The only reason I survived it the second time is because I found a way to cheat it. Maybe it should just incap the player rather than outright kill. Due to the previous lagging issues and such, having to make it back to this point made playing feel like a chore for the rest of the campaign.


Brilliant idea and design, but I can't say I'd ever play this one again.

@attlich cope. The first movie is an amazing film

This map is straight up unplayable half of the time in single player.

@RF thanks for bringing this to my attention, it appears he tried to fix some of the issues with the campaign; he didn't ask for permission but he did link back to the original campaign and as it's for the benefit of the community I will leave it for now :)

Thank you again for letting me know and I hope you didn't have issues with the campaign! <3

mapa troll, no lo jueguen inicias y te caen como 200 zombies y 20 especiales de los cuales 4 son hunters . Pesimo

Broken ass map. Spawns like 100 infected before you even get out of the first room.
Emi1iaya Jan 19, 2022 @ 6:27am 
same problem with RF,map 4: ED_Alloc: no free edicts. And without addron still can't run the map 4

Second map, the door for entering metal tanks room has a bug. if it closes while ure outside the room there is no option to re-open it.. leaving players,or potentially entire team stuck outside the room and unable to progress.
For now gets "unplayable" for me. Until fixed.

all ok bro. just any guys dont were inside room)
throught this map, so crazy sh*t bro, i like it :steamhappy:
Texeon NURV  [author] Nov 16, 2020 @ 3:39pm 
can I confirm if all players were inside the room where the EMP had to be picked up? There is a trigger to prevent it being grabbed if the whole group isn't inside the room.

Otherwise, can I confirm if you no-clipped to the room?

为什么我要把那三个AI队友全杀了才能过一部分必须要全部人都到场的场景
R󠀡F Jul 9, 2020 @ 3:46am 
it does it on load, but i managed to fix it anyway with a workaround.
Texeon NURV  [author] Jul 9, 2020 @ 12:21am 
Could you please tell me at what point exactly is it happening, is there a specific area that it is crashing. Does the map load at all?
R󠀡F Jul 8, 2020 @ 8:01am 
On local yes, on server no, and it happens on both.
Texeon NURV  [author] Jul 8, 2020 @ 5:53am 
@RF: Can I confirm if you're spawning zombies, molotovs, pipebombs or other dynamic objects?

map 4: ED_Alloc: no free edicts.
Texeon NURV  [author] Jul 8, 2020 @ 3:01am 
Thanks, that's super kind of you :) I hope your friends enjoy it and you have fun playing together!

Take care during these times

Thanks for taking the time to respond! I really appreciate it. Regardless of what changes you do or do not make, thanks for taking the time to make the campaign; it is definitely the most immersive campaign i have ever played and I'm looking forward to sharing it with some of my other friends :steamhappy:
Texeon NURV  [author] Jul 7, 2020 @ 12:15am 
Thanks for the constructive criticism. I had added the the voltage signs in one of the new updates thinking that would deter players from jumping down, but as per the points you made sometimes it might be that you get charged off the ledge or a boomer explodes, so I agree with you that I should think about re-working it.

I'll have to check the clipping setup on those doors to the gas offices because it shouldn't be able to jam you and kill you, so it's a shame it did; I'm sorry about that.

Thank you for taking the time to play and review the campaign :)
Omnigryphon Jul 6, 2020 @ 9:11am 
Second, the train tracks. I get that they're electrified and deadly, but I would recommend just putting up an invisible wall there and not letting people step on them. Not only are the high voltage signs not really big enough to make it obvious. A boomer exploding can make you step backwards off the ledge. While thematic, it just really sucks because it's not really a big sticking point of the movie to kill someone for stepping on them like the laser hallway is.

Overall, I really enjoyed this one and will likely play it again, but I wanted to give you my honest feedback; thanks for creating this awesome content!
Omnigryphon Jul 6, 2020 @ 9:11am 
Hey Texeon; we just played this recently and I have a few things I wanted to say about the campaign.
Overall I absolutely loved it. I am a resident evil fan and I enjoyed how true to form so many of the locations were. The atmosphere was beautiful and I can't wait to share this with one of my other friends who really enjoys the franchise. I did not enter the laser hallway and my friends did. I don't know why, but we all know how that went.
That said, I do think there are some issues that I wanted to point out. First, we had a lot of deaths that felt really bad. The first was in the room with the gas doors (from the opening scenes of the movie. The doors closed on me as we were leaving and killed me outright. I'm don't believe that was intentional, but as I'm not familiar with making maps it does seem like something that is avoidable, but I don't know for sure.
(continued)

@Clandestine Jones: hey, can I confirm if this is a local server or online dedicated, and if it is a local server are you guys using cheats such as noclipping to fly around? That is the only reason I can think why the triggers would fail out of order
Bloody Magpie Jun 25, 2020 @ 10:21pm 
Ugh, the last two times I played this I have been having issues with events triggering. First time was on the second stage (Descent) in the large area where your door bypass fails spawning a horde + tank. Second time was right at the beginning of stage 4 (Escape) when the first door bypass failed to do anything but keep repeating to gather the party even after we were all hugging it. Even tried a party kill and reset to the safe room on that last one and got a different event (prying open the elevator doors) but that ALSO failed. Very frustrating, this was one of my favorite custom campaigns. I only have weapon and PC appearance mods enabled so I don't think it's them but I'll try one more time with all mods disabled period just to be sure.

Any plan to make Resident Evil 7 campaign?:)
Texeon NURV  [author] Jun 17, 2020 @ 4:23pm 
@HardC0re: that's weird, the only reason I would say that it's not showing up is that you don't have all the parts of the campaign. If you do then I actually don't know what's wrong.

Can you go into the developer console and see if it offers the maps to play, e.g. map the_hive_m1?
МакТрахер Jun 17, 2020 @ 8:23am 
i know how to use addon campaigns i have other campaigns like build a rocket and others but yours not shows up.
Texeon NURV  [author] Jun 16, 2020 @ 6:12pm 
@HardC0re: hmm, ok. Can you please ensure that when you go to select the campaign you're clicking on the 'addon campaigns' button at the end of the campaign selection list? It should show campaigns installed. If not then there is a chance you're not subscribed to all 6 parts of this campaign to make it work.
МакТрахер Jun 16, 2020 @ 9:21am 
yes
Texeon NURV  [author] Jun 15, 2020 @ 4:49pm 
@HardC0re: Hi mate, can you please provide me some more details about the issue? Are you saying you subscribed to this collection but the hive is not appearing as a campaign you can play?
МакТрахер Jun 15, 2020 @ 10:16am 
I have no campaign
Texeon NURV  [author] Jun 12, 2020 @ 4:42am 
@Disinterred: To troubleshoot this, I would recommend you either:

1.disable the licker model
2.unsubscribe from it in steam workshop
3.do a 'verify integrity of game cache' for l4d2 (you can find guides on google)
or
4.use the developer console to disable mod checking using the command 'sv_consistency 0' (there are guides to use the developer console on the internet)
Disinterred Jun 12, 2020 @ 12:30am 
Everytime i start it up it wants a hunter model but i have the licker so i dont know whats wrong
devlos Jun 3, 2020 @ 1:22am 
The .VPK files enforce certain on dedicated servers. It changes all infected models to L4D1 variants no matter what map it is. To bad , can't keep this on the server because off it.

10!
Texeon NURV  [author] May 27, 2020 @ 7:46am 
@Suwako: The bot behaviour shouldn't be affected by campaign but I'd hazard to say it's got to do with the nav mesh. If you mean they run away and disappear to some area below the floor that's because the safe room is right below you and I guess they're ignoring the fact the door is closed and warping forward. Otherwise I'm not too sure
Sákuyá May 27, 2020 @ 7:21am 
is there a conflict with the improved bots or is this purely a multiplayer only mod the bots seem to just run away when entering the emp chamber and i cannot interact with the emp device
Attlich Apr 29, 2020 @ 9:57pm 
By the way, I hate to be a bother, but can you also put in an option to turn off the audio quotes from the movie and just leave the movie soundtrack? I think that the soundtrack fits this map very well and compensates the action, but the movie quotes kinda break the immersion.

Not to mention it reminds me that the adaptations exist in the first place.
kvxvc Apr 25, 2020 @ 10:41am 
i am so mad that the licker wont work like it looks so cool
Texeon NURV  [author] Apr 18, 2020 @ 2:42am 
@JackClan: Thanks so much for the comment :)
Texeon NURV  [author] Apr 18, 2020 @ 2:42am 
@SirAttlich: I honestly reckon if they didn't call the movies 'resident evil' and didn't relate it to one of the best game series of all time then the movie wouldn't have got so much flack (and it's justifiable flack :D )

Thanks for your comments
