So uh... The lights don't really work well, especially when you makes then really wide and far o.o

You can change the skybox to a night skybox. The TF2 wiki has a list of skyboxes, although you can also find other skyboxes on other wiki

Hi, I just downloaded this map and I was hoping to use it for a night scene, any suggestions on how to get that desired effect?

is there like, a night version? or a no light version? for further response thank you

I have the left4dead2 content pack and dlc's, yet the map won't open. Any clue of what's going on?

107 MB !!!!

Would anybody be willing to make this for gmod also?

YOUR BOTH WELCOME LOL ^_^

GORYGIRL1996 thanks!

TO "FOXY102THEPIRATE (ANGRY!!!!!)"

YOU CAN GO TO YOUR "LIBRARY" AND CLICK ON SOURCE FILMAMAKER (DON'T OPEN IT JUST CLICK ON IT ONCE.) AND LOOK TO THE RIGHT AND YOU WILL SEE A LIST OF DLC'S SO THEN YOU CHECK THE BOX THAT SAYS "LEFT 4 DEAD CONTENT PACK" HOPE THAT HELPED.

how do you download the Left 4 Dead Content Pack?

no problem

THANKS :D

usermod/materials and usermod/models

WERE DO YOU MOUNT THE L4D STUFF INTO SFM?

not a problem! :D Thats how it was for me too when I started out working on maps. Youtube videos were my teacher lol. Feel free to contact me again if you need any more help!

Thank goodness you meant the VMF, because have you ever opened a BSP file with Notepad?

I was hoping to avoid bothering you cleaning out the airport, but I can't seem to work out why I can't even open much less edit the map in Hammer like you can.
(Hammer starts to load the maps but then crashes just before it finishes loading them.)

The map itself and lighting are ideal, so I would really appreciate getting my hands on a cleaned version of the map if you can manage to get around to it.

BTW, Thanks for your offer. I've been trying to get help and answers from others on different SFM forums as well, but encountered a lot of rude SFM snobs who aren't interested in helping the new guys at all.
So I've been fumbling around in the dark, and literaly been wasting hours trawling the internet for whatever I seem to have overlooked???

hammer vmf file.

And ill see about removing some of the props in an updated version for ya. may take some time tho cause school started so i have less free time :(

iIs the key I'm looking for with notepad in the BSP map file? or the Hammer VMF map file?

This map's "design layout" is exactly what I''m searching for, but I need it to a basic sandbox with most of the original furniture removed.
For example, I want to turn the aircraft runway into a military evac area, but there is a lousy baggage truck and carts right in the middle of where I want to set it up.
The airport lounge is full of seating and other props that take up floor space, and generally get in the way of props I want to replace them with.


I can't ask you to really clean out the airport of all the furniture inside and empty the building for me.
But I would appreciate your help in cleaning up the map a bit more myself so I can use it.

You may want to consider that there is a key within the file that must be replaced. If you were to open it in notepad++ you may see a key that looks like a small box with "ESC" written on it, that has to be replaced with a comma " , "

In terms of the map not running, I would make sure there are no errors in the map. use the "Check for errors" button. Also make sure you dont have tons of entities as this takes up the entdata, that usually has to do with lights, props, etc. If you are still running into problems, make sure there are no leaks in the map. the quick fix for that would be to just put a big hollow square around the whole map and texture it to skybox.


the cleanup maps themselves, I just take left 4 dead, fix anything that looks broken, change the skybox a bit and the lighting, and we got a map. This one took longer because this was actually two maps, and required a bit of block editing to get the entrances just right.

I would love to know how you are cleaning up those maps.
When I decompile BSP files with BSPSource so I can modify them in Hammer, most of them will crash Hammer when I try to open them.

Some maps will open in Hammer, but then fail to compile when I "run map" after a few any minor modification is made to the map.


Seriously, Hammer is getting old and it's really starting to show it's age now.


Besides Hammer, are there any Map Building software that can make BSP map files that work in SFM?
