Hi Mark,

Great work! It is nice to see the progress and to be able to play through the first part of the campaign after we have seen here your first amazing Yama video during the "Ropeways and elevators" discussion.

Mapping, custom textures, custom models and light settings are impressive and fits perfect to the theme of the campaign. Well done =)

Here are some issues I notice during I play the maps:

- I also have some trouble with the bots to follow into the ambulance at the end of map1. I have tried to realize a similar situation and I seems to me that if there is only limited space in the vehicle the bots won't follow easily (especially if they have to crouch). Maybe it is an alternative to use a bigger vehicle like the rescue vehicle in the "crash course" campaign.

- As the other testers said there should be a little bit more "guiding" of the player. Especially here in map3 I have needed few minutes to notice that there is an exit in the dark corner of the room.

- All the custom models are very perfect but these doors looks flat and haven't sometimes no thickness

- Always this texture appears I have the feeling something is wrong and doesn't looks realistic with the stone wall. I don't know if it is how the light is reflected or maybe some overlays or blend with an other texture is missing.

Subject: [L4Dmapper] Yama beta


I just released a beta of my L4D2 campaign which includes the first 3 and a half maps. I had a lot of help from this mailing list to get the map to this stage so I wanted to post it here, and get some feedback from other mappers too instead of the general community.

Also I have a problem I never got to fix before I released - particles (all default L4D2 ones) only load half the time, which is especially annoying with the plane crash sequence. They work every time in a local server but online they keep breaking. The particle rain also cuts out at some points which might be related. Are there certain flags or something you need to use?
