True

Well, the solomode certainly isn't meant to be played with more than one human player lol, hence the name.
TSito  [author] 12 Oct, 2023 @ 10:26am 
that may be true, who knows lol

Ironically I don't think the chapter restart when a player dies is a "feature" of solo mode necessarily, considering the name of the mode implies an obvious single player aspect, I believe the restart is simply a fail safe due to the strange bot SI shuffling the director does, otherwise you could get soft locked if you died and the director had SI in queue to drop in.
That would of course be if the game didn't just crash before that could ever happen.

You are right, the solution is not failing

Sorry but sv_permawipe kicks you back to the mainmenu
TSito  [author] 14 May, 2022 @ 2:01pm 
the game should kick you back to the lobby after failing, that's a cvar called sv_permawipe or something

I would like to know if there is any script that if a player dies, the game restarts the chapter, this is what this mutation does, right? But there is no script?

interesting

Okay, so if any of you have L4D1, and listened to the commentary, i think this is why this was scrapped, and i quote:

"Players need to learn from their mistakes as quickly as possible. In early versions of Left 4 Dead, if the survivors failed a campaign at any point, we just put them back, right at the beginning, and made them play the whole thing over again. That meant if the team dies in the last level, it'll be close to 45 minutes before they ever get back to that map to try something new. This made it hard for players to remember exactly what they'd done wrong, and so it was hard for them to decide what they might want to do differently. So now when a team goes down, we just reset to the beginning of the level they died on. This gives them a lot more freedom, and flexibility on how they approach the most challenging sections."

I think "Solo Mode" was basically the name for the campaign mode while they were working on it...

TSito  [author] 16 Mar, 2022 @ 6:51am

Lorik 16 Mar, 2022 @ 3:14am

SIs spawns are map dependant, they also spawn in numbers ( 2 hunters for example ), sometimes they briefly join your team and lag your game before spawning
PeopleLikeStuff 10 Mar, 2022 @ 1:16pm 
"It handles everything very different (even SI spawns)"
Could we get a bit more detail on that?
Souper 10 Mar, 2022 @ 1:08pm 
Fair enough.
TSito  [author] 10 Mar, 2022 @ 1:08pm 
we don't know about that.
Souper 10 Mar, 2022 @ 1:04pm 
Pretty sure saving's supposed to be disabled as well with maxplayers being greater than 1. Which could also be preventing you from loading saves.
Souper 10 Mar, 2022 @ 1:03pm 
Oh, yeah, loading saves is just disabled "in multiplayer games". Wonder if that's determined by another hidden cvar.
TSito  [author] 10 Mar, 2022 @ 12:59pm 
ouper Marilogi, In l4d1, the director keeps track of the map you are in, and it adds you bots around map 2-3 then the next map and hopefully you would get the 3 bots by the finale, the save system does not work but it does create a "save" file but it can't use
Souper 10 Mar, 2022 @ 12:42pm 
I'm assuming the original idea here was that this would be used with one being the only player? As for the HL2 save system, how much of that actually works?
Typical 10 Mar, 2022 @ 12:41pm 
More beta content awesomew
