**********************VuTalers**********************WARNING: Check your system specs TO SEE IF YOU CAN PLAY THE GAME using
System Test – Find Left 4 Dead – PC in the drop box menu. If you pass, great. If you fail… post your specs here.Interested in playing but don’t have the cash? Download my
survival pack.To install leftfordead, unzip/rar the folder to C:, so you’ll have a folder set up like this:
C:L4DOpen up the RUNTHISTHINGONLYDONOTTOUCHANYTHINGELSE.bat (batch file) – contents located below. THERE IS A FIX TO BE INCLUDED INVOLVING THE HAMACHI KEY PART, IT’S NOT IMPORTANT, BUT IF YOU WANT IT TO WORK PERFECTLY, COPY THE QUOTE BELOW AND REPAIR THE BATCH BY EDITING THE CONTENTS AND SAVING THEN RUNNING IT.
NOTE: MAKE SURE YOU INSTALLED L4D in C:Left4Dead. Follow skullptura’s instructions on how to do that.
It’ll teach you all you need to know on how get/play the game – single or online. That teaches you specifically to play online with other random people – to play specifically with VuTalers, follow the guide(s) below. THIS IS ASSUMING YOU FINISHED RUNTHISTHINGONLYDONOTTOUCHANYTHINGELSE.bat ALREADY
VuTales L4D – CO-OP
For this method to work, you MUST have Hamachi installed and Firewall disabled. VALVE IS VERY STRICT ABOUT LAN RULES. If you do not know how, google it.
Steps for playing online with VuTalers:
1) Power up Hamachi, join network MMOTL4D | Password: 123123. (I have to be online at this time though, if you guys want to play while I’m not online, create another network.)
2) Go into Preferences (bottom right button like a cog), under Window – check the box [Show “Advanced… ” peer menu item.]
3) Press okay. In the network, find my name – It’s David
4) Right click on it, and choose Advanced ..
5) Under Peer VPN Alias: put 5.229.198.xxx -> xxx IS THE LAST DIGITS OF YOUR HAMACHI IP Address:
So say your IP is 555.666.888.999
Then you put under Alias:
5.229.198.999 <- Note, this is for my server only – if you host one yourself, read the next section.
6) Double check to see if your firewall is disabled. Then PING me and other people on your list, you shouldn’t get Request timed out. If you get that, either they don’t have their firewall turned off, or you don’t.
7) Start L4D.
8) Open up the console with the tilde: ~
9) Type into the console: connect 5.229.198.165Hosting Your Own Server
1) Power up Hamachi, create your network.
2) Get people to join your network.
3) Go into your L4D folder, make new text document, paste this in:stuff said: left4dead.exe -game left4dead -console -novid +sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 0 +z_difficulty Easy +map l4d_hospital01_apartmentSave that as a .bat file – or batch file. Name it Launcher.bat
Create a shortcut and put it somewhere accessible.
4) Make sure you did steps 1-4 in the previous section (Playing online).
5) To set up alias:
Game Host Hamachi IP is : 111.222.333.444
Guest hamachi IP is: 555.666.777.888
Host must click on everyone from his hamachi list : Right mouse button > Advanced > Alias (VPN) and put there under guest IP to VPN place :
Guest IP: 555.666.777.888
VPN: 111.222.333.888All the guests must turn their Alias IP to VPN, but the last three digits is their hamachi IP.
So for guests, right click on the hoster and:
Guest IP: Leave it as it is.
VPN: 111.222.333.XXX -> where XXX equals the last digits of your hamachi IP.
6) Hoster start .bat file. Refer to notes to change difficulty/map.Notes
You may all have to have hamachi set as your primary network. See spoiler for more information.
-> To do this in XP go to your network connections (not my network places) and choose advanced from the top toolbar -> advanced settings -> then on the list with your network connections move hamachi to the top.-> To do this in Vista Start -> Network -> In top toolbar, Network and Sharing Center -> Manage Network Connections (Left side panel) -> Top top toolbar, Advanced -> Advanced Settings -> Use the arrow keys to move hamachi to the top.
NOTE: There can be some lag doing it this way but it is the only way I could get it to work and it’s playable.
I or the hoster can can change map/difficulty/game mode by typing into the command console that comes up when the server is running.
map l4d_…. – to choose maps
z_difficulty – to choose difficulty
mp_gamemode “coop,versus,survival” – choose game typeUseful Console Commands
sv_cheats 1 – enables cheats
z_spawn “hunter, smoker, tank, witch, boomer” – spawn special infected
z_spawn “common, mob” – spawns a single infected/horde respectively
god 1 – godmode for all
noclip – fly around the map
nb_blind – zombies can’t see you, but can on touch, hordes are still able to find you
give weapon_”shotgun, smg, rifle, pipe_bomb, molotov, autoshotgun, hunting_rifle, pistol” – gives weapons
director_no_survivor_bots 1 – no survivor bots
director_no_mobs 1 – no hordes
director_no_death_check 1 – single player game continues regardless if you’re alive or not
thirdpersonshoulder – toggles 3rd person view
give health – heal
sv_infinite_ammo “0, 1”- infinite ammo 0 means off, 1 means on
survivor_walk_speed 85 – change it to something insane for fun. 🙂My batch file
