Description




Have you ever wondered what the 2011 version of Crash Course looks like? Do you miss the old map tricks, glitches, and exploits that were patched by .lmp and commentary.txt files? Did you ever want to show your friend the original version of Crash Course without both of you downloading the v2.0.9.1 version of the game?

Well look no further as I have uploaded the 2011 version of Crash Course with the original navigation, commentary, and .lmp file. All the old exploits you used to do and love (or hate) before they were updated by Valve or the Community Update Team.

This has been fully tested to make sure everything works! Do not report map exploits or glitches as this is very intended for this addon.

NOTICE: Even though this is the version from v2.0.9.1 you will not be able to do everything that is possible from that version. This only revives the original untouched level design, navigation from 2011s release.



Question
Why does the workshop addon have a .lmp file?

Answer
I needed to modify the changelevel trigger so instead of loading c9m2_lots.bsp it loads c9m2_lots_original.bsp

Question
Did you recompile the map using a decompiled version?

Answer
No, This is the version shared by the speedrunning community from Left 4 Dead 2's initial release back in 2011.

Question
Are you planning on doing all original campaigns?

Answer
Yes, I am currently working on making sure everything works like this version.

Question
Why don't these look any different from the official versions?

Answer
Valve never (really) recompiled any maps since 2009 (excluding c2m5_concert.bsp). So its exactly what it looks like today but with no fixes. (ex: Skipping events, etc.)

Question
Why don't the god spots, infected ladder climb, and any other exploits from the older versions work in this addon?

Answer
Even though all files come directly from the 2011 version of the game. The engine and internal coding have been updated in the current build. So this means some things will not work as you remember them. There is nothing I can do on my end to fix this currently.

Question
Is there a way i can play older versions of Left 4 Dead 2 minus this addon?

Answer
Yes you can join the Left 4 Dead Speedrunning Community Discord Click Here. [discord.gg] From here you can download the older versions from there, but please read their instructions carefully as you will be fully responsible for any actions that happen from running these versions.

Hello, thank you for your comment.

I'm sorry to inform you that I'm not going to look into anything related to (Sound, Music, Talker) issues.

My original purpose was the upload these for people to play the original layouts & use map exploits like in older versions.

These add-ons are not re-compiles in any shape or form. they're "Ports" from the version of the game listed from the add-on itself.

Only thing I'm worried about is if you can complete the campaign from start to finish and play any mode properly.

Anyone is more than welcome to fix / alter these versions how they want.

just saying but every l4d1 campaign used to use the l4d2 soundtrack except no mercy.
and the horde alerts on the l4d1 campaigns aside no mercy did not work.
although they use l4d1 rabies and there campaign specific rabies but they only worked in the first chapters. and you still heard the l4d1 campaigns pray for death but only on the first chapter after the main campaign theme but not in any other chapter but it worked properly in no mercy
