Left 4 Dead Blog - Custom Campaign Support
An update from the L4D blog talks about the new system being added to Left 4 Dead to support custom campaigns made with the authoring tools Valve released a few weeks ago. The update will be available on Steam next week. Important additions:
  • Add-Ons - Third party campaigns are designed to be installed using a new Add-On framework. Content authors will be able to package up their new maps, along with new posters, models, and textures, into a single .VPK file
  • Matchmaking - When creating or searching for a lobby, a new option named "Add-on campaign" will let you select from among the add-on campaigns that you have installed. You can then find games or lobbies as well as create a lobby for that campaign. You can invite your friends, too. If they do not have the campaign installed, they will automatically be offered and an option to download it.
The authoring tools are also officially coming out of beta, and for details on packaging your new campaign see the developer wiki. Full blog update here.

I'm sure a lot of people will be happy about this. I'm sure many will find something to piss and moan about.

OMG, this update is too soon. It's totally unlike Valve, and I'm not going to pay 0$ for it.

I'm happy that they now have something to make those L4D2 haters shut up. Valve supports their games - but they also make new ones!

This is acctully really cool, I would like to see this added to all valves future multiplayer titles, being able to package all specific map related assets with the map in a pak file similar to early ID engines, is so much cleaner and easier to move/remove.

You know what? I'm tired of Valve being awesome. TIRED OF IT. It's so stupid that they always listen to the community and sometimes post on this site. I mean, why waste our time with telling us how a Left4Dead update is coming along. I DON'T WANT TO KNOW! I want to be left in the dark about everything, take away that stupid update thing that always pops up when I start Steam. IT'S SO ANNOYING.!. Also, I think it'd be a brilliant idea to just take away stupid Steam anyways. IT'S SO STUPID!! Pointless, retarded, waste of time, energy, space and sperm. I say that because the damn pop ups from that always come up when I'm watching porn. Jesus you'd think a bunch of computer whizzes would know when a dude is jackin' his shaft.

I HATE VALVE.

This thread is ridiculous.

People are complaining about possible loss of content. No one said Valve was going to stop updating L4D all together.

TimoJay gets it.
