Another update.

Well maybe not for long, based on what information i found (and more than what I shared).
Sounds like he never owned anything. Even if he did port, he's been shady for over a decade.
Even gave some trouble to "Game Maps" with the original port from the first L4D.
I'm confident we'd have Age of Chivalry's blessings to make a proper L4D2 port.
Considering the trouble Daniel gave them and lack of communication even back then.
They'd probably be very happy if someone made a safer and better port.
Thinking about contacting "Timelord Magnum Dave" about it, he's ported survival maps.

I just fixed that, I apologize. There has been many negative changes on the Helm's Deep Reborn addon that affects your ability to play L4D2 and how you wish to play.

i am confused rigth now, but i was not able to coment on your profile to you mr Xanaguy but asyou read this my coment on the adon is still present, but i want to know a bit more.

This map was created by Team Chivalry, designers of the first person online medieval Half-life 2 MOD Age of Chivalry. It was ported to L4D by serious_samurai. Age of Chivalry can be downloaded for free (assuming you own L4D or another source-based game) via Steam

So... Daniel doesn't own the rights to shit... and anyone can take it and modify it.
No more of his abusive malicious behavior taking advantage of users.
I found that after being curious about the version from the first Left 4 Dead.
Also, it's on a different account in the first Left 4 Dead section.
He probably dind't really do anything for the first version.

that sounded like a promising reply they gave me so I wanted to share.
if anyone else out there can provide us any more information I can forward it.
you'll see I also shared it with Jaiz on his fix as well so we can get it out there.

I'm surprised that they didn't take action long ago. Shutting down servers just for using plugins, according to Mr./Ms. Andrew should have been reported to steam immediately.

Thanks again for this report. I have passed on all of this information to the L4D team for further evaluation.

Disabling features is something we discourage, so thank you for bringing it to our attention.

Additionally, if you do have proof that anyone is crashing, hacking, or modifying other admin's servers, please let us know.

Update: Finally figured out the problem with the other mutations and have restored them.

oh tell me about it.
i don't know how familiar you are with "Game Maps".
but i'd get that same label all the time for understanding the guys who fix/port shit.
some how me simply understanding and explaining why they do it is defending them lol.

It's so easy to be.

i heard he was against the disabling of addons in versus.
which, of course, we all know a large amount were created for cheating.
he is such a fuckin hypocrite i absolutely love it.

It's just another attempt to further his control of server settings via vscript. Local or otherwise.

Improved the anti-cheat against gamemodes.txt file convars. Specific external addons which for instance change the move speed of Common Infected and Special Infected, allow crawling for survivors, change adrenaline stats etc. should no longer work.

yea our boy's gone, if he thinks that's cheating. lmao.

Oh my bad

I didnt update the addon.
It was Helm’s Deep Reborn that recieved an update.
This was just a PSA to those who may find that the fix no longer works.

thanks for the update-

An update was released for the main addon. If for any reason you find that this addon no longer works, then unsubscribe to both addons, quit L4D2, resubscribe to the two, and restart L4D2.

Yeah.

correct, they're better than its creator. lol.

@Tucker2.0 JAiZ & Xana aren't the original creators but glad you enjoyed the map though.

beat the map today great job on it

his sock puppets probably caused my last topic to be removed.
guess valve wants a court case and legal matter of this then.
so be it.
we could always go to the GDPR

bots are finally useful! thank you so much x3 it's now much more fun to play with the bots, since they will use the magnum when they run out of ammo so they can at least damage tanks and not you know, karma charge right for them <3

Thanks for the updates Xana.

Updated. Due to the many noticeable griped about bots and melee weapons (at least for the intended map), I have made magnums available at the start. And bots will no longer be able to pick up melee weapons.

Uploaded and fixed. I am sorry for the late reaction. I should have done frequent checks.

Main menu files are still present.

It is likely that Jaiz's fix is still required to fix the actual modes as bundling the files together seems to make the script malfunction.

It turns out one of the files that were included in the vpk seemed to have broken the entire fix altogether. Will upload an update very soon!

The update is live, please be sure to unsubsribe from Helm’s Deep, exit the game, and resubscribe accordingly

Don't forget about at&t

I’ll be fixing the default weapons tomorrow for every player to have a magnum. I will also be including commands for players to get whatever map exclusive melee weapon is available.

The upload time is unknown, since comcast is infamous of doing the exact opposite of their job.

Valve has done alot. but that Helms Deep dev? he is horrible. pretty much forces that map to be played with 4 real people is just dumb.

trust me, i went on an alt account, went into -insecure mode and tried to use an aimbot to see if i could beat it. nope. i couldn't beat it at all. why? because the bots do NOT get ammo or heal when a tank is nearby, and if they have a melee weapon (that the dev forces them have on) they rush straight at a tank and get downed.

leaving you to fight like 3 Tanks alone.

Look at his requests for "fixes". I'll just let it speak for itself.
Scroll all the way down to the last post.

Valve should completely delete film grain from the game. It increases the chance of your game crashing and lowers your fps. Experienced players will disable it since it makes it harder to see enemies, items etc.

Block players from being able to edit the "gamemodes.txt" file in the "scripts" folder since players can delete game modes and players can cheat by adding any convars they want to any game mode.

and he wonders why so many of us hate him so much.

shifty game mode and convar stuff huh? the irony and hypocrisy of that.

and then he begs us to beg valve... when valve should be stopping him.

Yeah, duel pistols is a must for the bots. just had a solo run end because 2 bots with melee weapons ran out of ammo and charged at 2 tanks.... and i was on Easy as well....

well since you can pick up melee weapons inside the armory area before you start the map... maybe have all 4 players spawn with duel pistols?

only reason im saying this, is in the event someone wants to play the map solo, or even with 1 friend, the bots can at least have something else to use if they run out of primary weapon ammo, instead of blindly running at the infected and dying right? x3

The laser sight box appears at the start area by an unknown % chance. Which is even dumber.

Plugins can have ammo piles being placed anywhere as determined by the administrator/server manager.

Everyone starts with a katana, which can be interchangeable via the script. If you have any suggestion on what the starting items should be, let me know.

The armory only has medkits at the near end of the entire survival round. You can still use plugins to place said items anywheres.

it's even more dumb that he does not have a laser sight box spawn at the start of the spawn area when you are literally in a VERY wide open area. it only spawns after you are inside a close quarters area. like seriously?

also, when you fall back for the second time right? if you do not get ammo before that, the ammo pile disapears and you might as well restart unless you got ammo before going up the stairs.

the duel pistols would be perfect for bot games, as the bots are horrible with melee weapons.

and what kind of Armory doesn't have medkit spawns? it only has like.. 1 or maybe 2 pills there, and like.. erm.. i think 2 molotoves..

also, new discussion, with stuff and things you could answer.
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/550/discussions/0/3140616601467048598/

Bot enhancing mods are blocked and Helm's Deep Reborn does already improve the bots. Dual pistols can be used to crash servers by picking up a melee and then quickly picking up pistols to spawn a new pistol
seriously, what is he smoking?

i've been spreading the word to anyone i see on Twitch playing this or other customs.

No worries i will.

No problem. Be sure to get Jaiz's fix so the main menu UI can be restored too

Alrighty just wondering, thanks for uploading this.

It's just the name which has no real meaning.

Why Limited edition ?

two comments from today about shit he removed weren't deleted yet.
has he gone crazier than normal lately? i'm sure he'll delete them eventually.
lol.

The public rightfully needs to be aware of everything that is in the addons they're subscribing to.
