There, the Survivors see a C-130 Hercules plane that has run out of fuel, and needs help refueling.

On the PC version of the game, custom community-made campaigns are also supported, which may vary in their structure compared to official campaigns (for example, some may simply serve as "map packs" for modes that only use a single chapter of a campaign per game, like Survival). The Director-based gameplay of the Left 4 Dead games encourages players to enjoy any campaign multiple times. The majority of the official campaigns encompass a larger narrative when played in a particular order, but this is not enforced by the game. On Xbox 360, downloadable campaigns must be purchased (excluding " The Last Stand" for the first game, which is available for free) and manually downloaded from the Xbox Live Marketplace. On Steam, downloadable campaigns are added to the games as free updates and are playable simply by purchasing and installing the games. Left 4 Dead initially released with four campaigns, while Left 4 Dead 2 initially released with five campaigns, with both games receiving additional downloadable campaigns after release. The exact process of experiencing a campaign's content depends on the gameplay mode being played, with some modes utilizing single chapters of a campaign for each game rather than progressing from one chapter to the next. Chapters are typically played in order, following a narrative in which the Survivors travel from a start point in the midst of the zombie apocalypse to an end point where a rescue vehicle to safety awaits, surviving the onslaught of the Infected as they go. Campaigns are aesthetically presented as if they are individual zombie movies, complete with a poster and a tagline on the loading screen for each one, and usually consist of several chapters (also referred to as "levels" or "maps"). It was designed with the inspiration of horror movies and games such as F.E.A.R, Resident Evil, Silent Hill and more.Campaigns (or movies) are grouped sets of environments used for gameplay in Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2. Campaign is fully playable in any case.ĭark Wood is a L4D2 campaign composed of 5 full-length maps. So it's up to server's owner if they want new zombies to spawn in the campaign and edit the filenames. There should be no conflict or anything, but my custom population file will simply have no effect. At least that's what I found during testing.
Otherwise other campaigns that use custom populations and load before Dark Wood will take priority over it. For this to work, the vpk file has to be placed first in alphabetical order in your addons folder on your server. IMPORTANT NOTE: Campaign now uses a modified Population file for spawning new uncommon infected. New uncommon have a slight chance to spawn throughout the whole campaign
Added a new type of uncommon zombie that replaces Jimmy Gibbs model Added more wandering commons throughout the whole campaign Adjusted item spawn rates and positions Some areas redesigned for the sake of better looks and/or more challenging experience
