Demo hacked! Zombies playable! - Scary Womanizing Pig Mask - 11-07-2008
Backfire messed around with the cvars of his server, and unlocked the zombies :O They're pretty fun, especially the Smoker's snare traps. Only bad part is the Witch isn't playable, but we could still spawn her. Zombies can also fight each other, so a couple scuffles ensued, until Backfire brought out the Tank XD Don't have any screenies, but Vandam recorded a demo, which should be up later!
My apologizes for the briefness. I'm a bit tired out by the whole ordeal
Re: Demo hacked! Zombies playable! - backfire - 11-07-2008
That was really fun. We messed around for a good hour or so. We only had 5 people, but potentially we could have had a full 4v4 server going. Though there aren't any limits to how much you can spawn. Tank spam anybody?
Worked pretty good though when we slowed down on the bosses.
I spammed the safe room with witches... got some blood one the walls :

Anyone got any more pics?

I liked playing as a hunter..mainly because you can move so fast and stealthily. Twas awesome.

Crazy!
Valve will probably fix that soon. D:

When the full game comes out, I'll be picking hunter a lot. I like bouncing around on walls, then going up to the survivers and dropping masses of medkits and propain tanks.
I'll do this again sometime, either tomarrow or sunday, if anyone's interested in playing some good old humans vs zombies. I'll see if I can bring in some maps from other games. de_dust or something.Â

sv_cheats 1 -duh
ent_fire !self setteam 3 -that'll put you on the infected team. Setteam 2 will put you back on survivers.
director_force_versus_start 1 -restarts round and sets gamemode to versus.
While you're specating, type ghost to enter the spawning mode. Or you can just look to where you want to spawn and type z_spawn boomer, or hunter. It isn't really spawning yourself more as spawning a boss zombie then you automaticly take control of it. We found that out tonight where me and 3clips were spawning each other.
Multiplayer gets a bit harder. You gotta set up a dedicated server with cheats on, but you have to have at least one person there who got there from matchmaking otherwise you can't join your own server. Passwords don't seem to help against mm either.
Re: Demo hacked! Zombies playable! - WTF Joel - 11-08-2008
the making of servers and getting on them with friends is something I got down pat. Thanks for the commands though, I seen those in the cvar list but never actually tried them.
Re: Demo hacked! Zombies playable! - WTF Joel - 11-08-2008
got some footage, gonna upload tomorrow most likely
Re: Demo hacked! Zombies playable! - cbre88x - 11-08-2008
I didn't even realize you could wall run until I saw that video on L4D411.

Haven't tried this myself and I don't really fancy it. From RPS:
Quote:let me stress again, in a broken and unbalanced way - you can in no way get a feel for the real thing with this. Is this message clear enough? Itâs nothing like proper Versus.
Fuck ruining the experience of Versus mode playing some shitty hacked together game now.

It's random selection, the last I heard and I'll be fucked if I'm playing on a server with cheats enabled.

The first player to join just connects via the console.

On the subject of Left 4 Dead movies...
Wouldn't the film grain effect make it harder for the encoders to compress the video? Would it be a good idea to turn off the film grain unless you really want it for the effect... which could probably be replicated better in post-processing?
P.S. I'm kinda surprised the game's film grain effect doesn't include superimposed film scratches and dirt... it's just a mild "static" effect.

+1
also agree with second observation .. but i dont think they would implement it at this point
Re: Demo hacked! Zombies playable! - backfire - 11-11-2008
Well, fun while it lasted. Last update fixed the demo exploits, which means no more playing as infected. :-[
They also took out the pc splitscreen exploit... I have no idea what that was for...
