Part 2:

The worst part of map 3 is that there isn't really anything telling you what to do or how things work. You press the button in the Dam, and a Tank and Horde appear, and there seemingly is no way to go forward. However, then for no apparent reason a door that I checked before that looked like it was just there for decoration suddenly explodes open, revealing the way forward. In Single Player mode, this is unfeasible on any difficulty higher than Normal because the hordes are so large and the Survivor bots just can't keep up, even with Left 4 Bots 2.

I know this was an unfinished map, but I think it's worth a discussion over whether or not it should have been released in this state at all. Just because you could doesn't mean that you should. I hope the Complete and Remastered versions turn out to be better balanced.

Part 1:

I know this is basically just the released maps with a few tweaks to make them work properly, but I'm going to judge the product as I received it.

The current state that this campaign is in is pretty garbage. The first two maps are okay, but they go on for way longer than necessary. It doesn't help that the Survivors don't have any dialogue to say, It makes it even more boring. The third and final map is a total shitshow. It has two events that spawn simultaneous Tanks and Hordes, and in addition to that a random Witch or Tank can still spawn anywhere on the map. That means if you are unlucky, you could have to fight three Tanks before you even reach the finale. The finale is actually decent, but it feels off with how it just ends abruptly. There's nothing to protect the Survivors from everything chasing them out of the dam, so how did they escape?

good

A question, wha survivors it use?, L4D1 or L4D2 survivors?

"The first 2/12 maps were fun tho,"

2/12 usually means two out of twelve

Content on the workshop is usually known as "items" which is why I said that
Is English not your native language?
Nobody's arguing but you apparently

You have two comments here, but I know you've deleted others
Anyway, nobody else complained about that
Nor have I experienced that in other Dam It campaigns
Maybe something's improved with bot mods, who knows

I didnt say it had 12 maps i said "on the third map", and i said this was my first comments not "items" i dont feel like arguing. But the bots can't go in the elevator which seems to be a common issue for Dam it maps.

Rey, it sounds like you have the wrong campaign
Nothing you described is a part of this from what I remember
It's definitely not 12 maps nor does it have an insta kill door
This is why your previous comment was removed
As you claimed, it was your first item commenting?
Maybe you got confused what you downloaded
I'll give you time to clarify before deleting again
As we don't want people getting the wrong idea of this item

The first 2/12 maps were fun tho, these were my first comments I've ever made. Just a bit frustrating couldn't pass a part after spending a long time on expert then changing to normal still couldn't get pass due to broken bot path ways and a insta kill door so i quit after that lol

Hey, "RogerDatSoldier",
Sorry for the late reply! To answer your question, this was the first official port
It was simply picking up where Turtle Rock Studios left off
We ported it right into Left 4 Dead 2 from the first Left 4 Dead
Only fixing whatever we found absolutely necessary to fix back then
(Considering it's still debatable to many if anything after Last Stand fixes or breaks)
That being said, look back at my previous comments from November
You would definitely enjoy "Remastered" and "Complete"
"Akira" and "Atomic Cat" did great work with their versions
No other versions would be supported or recommended or even necessary

Question @Trunten. There's like so many version of Dam It in the workshop. Is yours different from all the rest or does it have different fixes?

This finale is about moving to the switch at the opposite end of the dam
Not killing zombies. If you stay at the start, you will die
When you hit that last switch, you can get to the escape area

Can't find a way to finish the campaign. Endless hordes with endless tanks... killed 7 tanks... replaed several times... am I missing something?

"King David" (their current name at this time) was the first to make a real port
At the time of the port, they may have been previously known as "Lee" or "Brian"
Regardless of the creation time of the re-upload, ours was still the real version
The other version, knowing the history and reputation of the user, is questionable
Most likely has unnecessary changes, including to the events including the finale
It does not remain faithful to the original from Turtle Rock Studios
Out of respect for Turtle Rock Studios, ours was simply made L4D2 compatible
Be further advised, the reuploader attempted infringement towards us
Infringement against us Akira, and Atomic
Reuploader took the Remastered item, and Complete's screenshots
They had also modified the finale
Multiple infringement had occurred
It's always best to do research and support original creators
Especially when certain users already have a track record behind them

Also, no extra hordes
Finale already worked
We don't have any unnecessary tampering
This version is 100% pure and legit
Unlike a certain other plagiarized theft
I make these statements due to an unnecessary edit being re-uploaded
Someone attempted to question them but I don't expect honesty or transparency
Regardless, no denying by upload date on my item what the real truth is
Created by Turtle Rock Studios, original developers of Left 4 Dead
Myself, "AkiraTea" and "RomanMV" (currently "AtomicCat404") did original work

Friendly reminder:
As far as originality, and support and respect for original developers and their work...
It must be reminded and stated: this was the very first proper fix and port of Dam It
We kept Turtle Rock Studios vision completely intact
Only changed and fixed what's necessary for Left 4 Dead 2 compatibility
This version remains the first real port as well as having actual fixes
No major changes out of respect and support for Turtle Rock Studios
Some of us actually know the story and what it took for us to have this campaign
"Complete" and "Remastered" edits are exactly as their names imply
Remastered and Complete offer more polished and completed finales
However, as stated by at least one of them, our version inspired them
"Buried by the Flood" was officially finished by my team and Complete/Remastered
Very unfortunate to see plagiarism and theft with broken stolen versions

How many years and I only find out about this tonight on a video?? Wow... a game I played as a young teen, now I can finally experience something "official" again for the first time in L4D2. I'm gonna cherish this play-through! :D

gg

@Bruh Cat It is, yeah.

Is this the original unfinished version?

no, as the names imply, they're more "complete" or 'remastered" in their own ways.
for example, more improved finales like the other traditional Valve campaigns.
our version was just the first port only fixing up enough to make it compatible.

So.... the "complete" and "remastered" version is just this, but textured slightly better?

happy to help, you're welcome

ok, i found out what was wrong: i had the "remove dead bodies" mod turned on. Thats why i couldnt find the button. thanks . it was fun

hmmm... perhaps. I'll look into it. thank you. I'll let u know

it's in the tower next to the dead body.
you might have other add-ons causing a conflict.

no device was present. must have been a glitch

Use the device in the tower.
Then you go to the generator up ahead.

went to the tower and nothing happened. stayed up there for eternity until i was killed and then i just quit. uninstalled...

it was never originally completed.
Turtle Rock Studios was kind enough to release what they had finished.
all we did was simply make it compatible enough for Left 4 Dead 2.
you can get the "Complete" or "Remastered" versions if you want more texturing.

I rate it 8/10 some parts are untextured for some reason... and the chapter 3 was confusing to finish. Its stil good tho

这个dam it创意工坊搜出来有三个版本，分别是Dam It (Buried by the Flood)、Dam It [Remastered]、Dam It Complete。根据介绍，Dam it是求生1代的制作组Turtle Rock Studios做的图，但是没做完。所以Dam It (Buried by the Flood)是未完成的原版。Dam It [Remastered]和Dam It Complete是由不同粉丝把这个图完善的版本。

2nd map has its event broken - it's presumably supposed to instantly clear the way and it doesn't do anything at all.

This Is Lost Left 4 Dead Content Revived By Jake, Ryan, Mr. Sangheili

8/10

"Turtle Rock Studio's last Left 4 Dead campaign that was never finished."
It even says in the description it was never finished. There were others that made complete versions. This is mostly here for anyone wanting to check it out on L4D2, as it was only released for L4D initially.

Yes definitely, this version actually can't be updated right now, but the GameMaps version with L4D2 Survivors and my own version with L4D1 Survivors are both being updated. I'll link them both below:

GameMaps Version with L4D2 Survivors: https://www.gamemaps.com/details/17579
Workshop Version with L4D1 Survivors: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1372576009

Will the same fix be done for the l4d1 survivors version?

Hey sigsegv, thanks for pointing that out, as well as providing a explanation/fix for it. I've updated the VPK and sent it off to Ryan so he can update the map once he has the chance.

@Ryan @Jake @Sang When people load this campaign, they get an error in console:

KeyValues Error: RecursiveLoadFromBuffer: got EOF instead of keyname in file missions/damit.txt
mission, (*modes*), (*versus*), (*3*), (*versus_boss_spawning*),

It's due a typo at the end of missions/damit.txt, where the survival-mode-related stuff is commented-out: one more close-brace character was commented-out than should have been. (In effect, the close-brace for the entire "modes" block was commented-out, not just the close-brace for the "survival" block.) So, if you simply remove the '//' from line 147, the file becomes fixed and the game parses it correctly.

Would you guys mind applying this small fix to the VPK and updating this workshop item? I know it hasn't received an update in a few years, but it'd be appreciated. Thanks!

ayoo.

i like short map
its interesting event. challenging coz lots of tank
but fun short map
which it had more detail but basic is ok for me

It's a campaign from the creators of L4D, Turtle Rock Studios. It was planned as DLC but didn't make it. They released the files a couple of years back and we brought it from L4D1 to L4D2 with very minimal changes.

what is this

Cool

Ah, yes. A long time ago I found where to edit survivor names.
Helps me keep track of which Zoey is who.
It will even reflect every where else in the game, it's a complete rename for everyone.

I literally just wanted to leave a comment here to say I died laughing when I saw that TRS Zoey has "Beta" as her name in the screenshots. Lol, nice map too by the way.

What is your problem with me and my team?

Why are you trying to steal our work?

What were you thinking trying to get away with claiming ownership AFTER we created it.

Why even try to take 2015 credit for Dam It which didn't exist in the public until 2016!

I think somebody already made a completed version of this map. It's called Dam It Complete if I remember correctly.

Would you ever consider attempting to make a "completed" version of this campaign using the L4D1 survivors?
