Lil late but still can't get textures working, do I need to extract the file for textures? (I tried it but maybe im doing it wrong)

any l4d2 maps?

Agreed. Honestly.

Reading the description is the first thing anyone will do when they have a problem or question about the maps, no one needs you to tell them to do it, if you have to tell people to read the description then it's probably not very good and you should work on improving it instead

absolute madlad, thanks bro

holy shit thanks bro

man now i want this but with l4d2 maps

nevermind @The asdfghjkl, I fixed it, lol.
if anyone else has a problem like me, instead of this method, while good, you can just go into your usermod gameinfo.txt and add your left 4 dead left4dead file directory to it

i still cant figure out how to get the textures fixed though

i know that now i just didnt recognize the codename and the map with the textures missing, but i recognized the bridge and road when i saw it

Yes this does have the maps for crash course in it.

does this have crash course on it

so what are the map file paths exactly?

I guess that helps.

Did a full wipe of SFM and it worked. FOr anyone crashing you may need to delete everytthing and have a clean install sadly. Im happy I got it working.

Verify didnt work, going to fully wipe SFM off my drive and do a clean install from scratch.

k

If verify doesnt work, im going to fully delete sfm from the drive and have a clean install. Ill keep you posted.

Okay so its definitely on my end. Just a reminder its just the apartments map. The other maps work fine.

I can open the maps just fine for me. Can't really think of any reasons why the map wouldn't work...hmmmm

Can you open the apartments map on your end? Maybe its just my SFM installation.

No im trying to load it into SFM. My point is that i think the compile error relates to the map crashing.

If you're trying to decompile the maps I can't really help you there. I'm still a newbie when it comes to hammer.

It actually didnt work. Im not sure what is going on specifically now. Ill delete the left 4 dead folders and verify again.

I also get these errors when converting from .bsp to .vmf:
[warning] AreaportalMapper: Couldn't find valid Areaportal mapping for brush 1628
[warning] EntitySource: funct_areaportal entity links to a non existing areaportal,

@serious goofball have you extracted l4d1 models and materials? If so that might be the cause. alot of models from the L4D2 SFM DLC have the same name as models in L4D1 which can sometimes cause a crash. Just like I said in the comment bellow just download the l4d2_dlc3 folder from SFMlab and delete the l4d1 models and you should be good.

Could this explain the crashing for some people?

Oh ny god I am a complete moron lol. To everyone complaining about missing textures download this: https://sfmlab.com/project/27068/ I literally just realised I accidentally merged that folder and my left4dead2_fixes folder.... Sorry about that, I'm a mororn lol.

For the apartments map, it seems to be crashing for me

Sorry to all the comments that I haven't responded too, I forgot to sub to the thread.... There isnt much I can say for the missing textures. Just make sure you have the l4d official SFM DLC installed and enabled in the SDK. If your map has wireframe textures then that is an issue with shaders, which shouldnt be happening because the l4d DLC should have MOST not all but most of the map materials fixed.

The maps are just missing textures. I have the DLC enabled.

@jaedan you will need to install the official left 4 dead DLC which will include all the models, and materials you will need.

If this doesn't work than I could just give you my 3 DLC folders and you can edit the searchpaths yourself.

Hey man. When I go to the SDK it doesn't show L4D2 or like, anything else besides TF2. If you know a way to fix this that would be super helpful. Thanks!

@a slice of bread If you have the official l4d DLC You should be able to download the maps, and extract the BSP files to

C:/ProgramFiles(X86)/steam/steamapps/common/sourcefilmmaker/game/left4dead2/maps

Just in case you made some sort of mistake installing the DLC

i installed the maps in the correct folder and installed the Left 4 Dead DLC, but i can't find the maps. is there a specific DLC i have to download, or is the L4D DLC just general and i did something wrong?

for some reason even though i had the Left4Dead 2 content fully installed the maps still showed missing contents and stuff

What i did was i made a folder in the SFM directory and extracted content from the first Left 4 dead 1 and afterwards ticked the lil box in the SDK's search paths
that somehow got it to work

i assume SFM's content packs are malfunctioned or something

Blackpanther117 to install the maps you must have the l4d2 SFM DLC installed. Once you have that ready,go to the google drive link in the description,download the zip file,extract it and copy all of the BSP files inside TO the left4dead2 maps folder.So put your maps in

C:/programfiles (X86) /steam/steamapps/common/sourcerfilmmaker/game/left4dead2/maps.

Hope this helps,if not you can PM me or comment again.Maybe I'll add a link to a video that'll show how to put the maps in just in case my explanation wasn't clear (I'm not the best at explaining things.) anyways hope this helps!

I'm sure this is a stupid question, but I am not too tech savvy. How does one go about downloading and installing the maps?
