It's impossible if you play on Expert difficulty. I play on Advanced & it's hard but not impossible. You have to play it this way. First get 4 guns. The first gun you get, shoot a bullet, then you can equip another gun. Then get a bile jar & throw it over the wall. Keep throwing bile every 20 or 25 seconds, this will paralize the common zombies. Then build the medicine locker & open it. The idiot bots will keep getting hammered by chargers but they will survive if they have the pills. Then unlock the gas can if you have time. Use it to burn the Tank when it appears. Then unlock the ammo pile. Then you are in a good position to win. Don't waste time building the rocket until you have some good protection & fire power. Don't stay in the warehouse for too long after the Tank dies otherwise you will get overwhelmed. So remember, Guns, Bile, Pills, Ammo.

I think it would be worth it. I've seen a few confused players. Me included until recently. Also it would make the completed board more uniform. No green except for the barrel spawner. It's ultimately up to you, I'm just giving suggestions to continue to make it Better™ than the original.
Also is the following a bug or intentional?: if the bile jars are overused, they stop attracting the zombies until pipes are thrown. I can see it being intentional to discourage complete reliability on them. Like how you buffed the M60.

It wouldn't be difficult to do but would it be worth it? I can't see any use for it unless I see people wasting time trying to activate the electicity when it's already activated. Generally speaking people can see the fence is elactrified.
loop321 10 Dec, 2024 @ 10:58am 
What at first I thought was a bug is instead a feature: the Electric fence prompt not being filled out/black. It only applies to fences built and not ones that haven't been built, so if anyone missed parts, they have a chance to build them and make them electric.
In that case I have a suggestion, when all of the fences are built AND you activate electric fence, then it should be black/used.

It originally was L4D2 characters, I changed it to the old characters. You can make your own version with the new charecters, it's easy if you know how to unpack the .vpk files.
teleportals 17 Oct, 2024 @ 1:55am 
sick map, but can you make another version so you can play as the L4D2 characters instead of L4D1 characters?
icecooler21 8 Oct, 2024 @ 8:00am 
good map would play again triple times
ArgentAbendAzure 9 Mar, 2024 @ 11:05pm 
You've done a good job on making this playable with bots.
The difficulty level is fair in a standard game.
The pill locker, and ammo pile placements are improvements.

Wow! The AI teammates feel more like toddlers I need to take care of more than they do in the base game!!
kurochama 9 Dec, 2023 @ 6:53am 
I see. Looks like I missed something when checking the list on upgraded technology, as I looked around the laser sight upgrade. Thanks for the info.
Grumpy  [author] 9 Dec, 2023 @ 6:51am

There is an "AMMO PILE" button on the left side of the Technology panel, it's just under the "AIR TANK". This creates two ammo piles on the ground in front of the control desk.
kurochama 9 Dec, 2023 @ 6:25am 
I wonder if it's possible or not to add "ammo spawn" on the upgrade list? Because when playing with bots, you'll have no choice but to pick the weapons for bots when they're running out of ammo. & picking weapons again & again could increase the number of item entities. So, if there's something like "ammo spawn" on upgrade, that will save the number of entities as players won't have to spawn weapons again & again (especially for bots).

It should update automatically. If it doesnt, then un-subscribe to it in the Steam Workshop, re-start the game & re-subscribe.
NuhNeal 25 Nov, 2023 @ 2:02pm 
How do I download the new version?

I am busy with a lot of stuff
BatZman 27 Oct, 2023 @ 6:48pm 
I understand i just wish you make more
Grumpy  [author] 24 Oct, 2023 @ 3:57pm

It's too stressfull. The problem is making a map that is intersesting & exciting that works with bots. If I want to make a map in which the bots don't do stupid things all the time I have to make it boring, which I don't want to do.
BatZman 24 Oct, 2023 @ 3:41pm 
I wish you can make more maps
Grumpy  [author] 8 Oct, 2023 @ 5:51am 
@C1TY
Usually the map I think. It often happens to me with my other maps. I seems suprising to me that I can't join my own map.
C1TY 8 Oct, 2023 @ 3:52am 
@Grumpy
the map, game version or both
Grumpy  [author] 7 Oct, 2023 @ 4:43pm 
@C1TY
That usually means you are trying to join a map that is a different version.
C1TY 7 Oct, 2023 @ 3:23pm 
I get error that says "server is enforcing consistency for this file scripts/weapon_propanetank.txt"
C1TY 7 Oct, 2023 @ 3:17pm 
@Lithium it would but there isnt a way to make it much nice with the bots
Lithium 4 Oct, 2023 @ 6:31pm 
Love the new update
Feels so much nicer to run in single player!
Grumpy  [author] 4 Oct, 2023 @ 7:10am 
@C1TY
Try it now. There are still a lot of zombies but I don't think they are overwhelming.
C1TY 4 Oct, 2023 @ 5:59am 
@Grumpy
alright i will wait until the crash will be patched
(also put "@" instead of "to")
Grumpy  [author] 3 Oct, 2023 @ 5:26pm 
To C1TY
I will see about reducing the zombies. It doesn't crash my game but it does make it lag.
C1TY 3 Oct, 2023 @ 4:27pm 
it crashes my game because alot of zombies
Master Wozzaa 28 Sep, 2023 @ 12:19am 
make rocket long ver kinda rocket short

I can't make any changes at the moment to any maps, my copy of Steam stopped working last week & I can't fix it. After a few plays of the map you get to know what the buttons do without having to read them but I do agree with you that the computer station should be bigger & less cramped.
Tabbs 2 Sep, 2023 @ 2:49pm 
make another map!
Tabbs 2 Sep, 2023 @ 2:49pm 
Can you make the font on the computer station bigger? hard to read and have to just move mouse around to try and find the right item.
Lithium 9 Aug, 2023 @ 2:47am 
Put the fear of indices in 'em!
Melts rotting flesh and all the dust out of my computer

To Lithium
I could reduce the number of common infected, but would it still be exciting?
Lithium 8 Aug, 2023 @ 7:56pm 
Apparently you can Molotov so many zombies at once that it crashes the game. I didn't expect that of all things to change my strat
Engicop 22 Jun, 2023 @ 3:35pm 
Yes please add a description with the list of changes.
Agent BidOofers 19 May, 2023 @ 8:43pm 
Needs more pictures and an actual list of changes.

For god sake man, it's the bare minimum, jesus christ.
BatZman 11 Mar, 2023 @ 12:29pm 
Yeah I had to kill them.
Freedom✠Puppy 19 Feb, 2023 @ 6:57am 
So, not only were you too lazy to write a description of the changes you made, you made the M60 nigh-impossible to get out of personal taste. We don't care about your opinion, and looking at the ratings, nobody does. This is hardly "better".
Sgt. Tittyfist 4 Feb, 2023 @ 5:55pm 
For everyone that doesn't want to load up the map for themselves to know the changes:

- There's a single new upgrade called "Electric Fence" (does exactly what you'd expect)
- Fences can now be opened by interacting with them
- Bot and zombie pathing seems to be improved, bots will now actually enter the rocket once it's done
- Finishing the rocket causes the game to spawn a massive amount of tanks to force you to leave
- Constructable items inside the building make more sense and are actually worth doing
- Constructing barriers in/near the building takes less time
- Equipping already unlocked items now takes 3 seconds instead of 5 seconds
- Building the rocket went from 20 seconds to 14 seconds per piece (thank god)
- The M60 is now unusable (unlock: 35s to 60s; equip 15s to 60s), very bizarre change

Overall: This is a very slight reworking of an old, iconic map. The changes are an improvement, but not massively so.
