[satannuts]

seems i missed a few language files...
so if you use another language besides English, you might want to re-download the update posted above..

anyone tested this on a v1.0.1.4 server yet?

[ToDieFor]

i have updated my test server and its startup ok (no crashes with revemu 2.4 linux), have to test with updated client. If someone has it already PM me and ill give the address to test.

[n0limit]

70.87.141.170 is already running 1.0.1.4.

[n0limit]

For windows server admins, I've posted the cracked engine 1.0.1.4. dll here: http://www.epcgaming.com/smf/index.php/topic,13143.msg50925.html#msg50925

[Giii3]

lol where is this file nolimit in the link I do not see it

[joni]

Scroll down to the end of the post and you'll see an attachment named "engine.1.0.1.4.cracked.zip".

[Giii3]

OK THX

[Captain Bong]

Thanks guys . . . I must be getting old.


Yarrr . . .

 

[KKHfai]

Thx Satannuts

[Corza]

let hope it fix's my l4d from the last patch lol

[SpecOp0]

THX for the patch, but i have some issues with the server browser or rather joining a server.
When I have version 1014 the campaign loading screens aren't displayed if I join a server, unfortunately if I host a server myself the screens were displayed. This hadn't happened with version 1013^^
This screen (I think for custom maps without a own loading screen) is displayed):

The console displays at startup:

MissionManager:  Mission file "missions/airport_vs.txt" is missing name and version
MissionManager:  Mission file "missions/farm_vs.txt" is missing name and version
MissionManager:  Mission file "missions/hospital_demo.txt" is missing name and version
MissionManager:  Mission file "missions/hospital_vs.txt" is missing name and version
MissionManager:  Mission file "missions/mission_manifest.txt" is missing name and version
MissionManager:  Mission file "missions/smalltown_vs.txt" is missing name and version

(The screens weren't displayed by joining a coop-server, either)

Any solutions?
Maybe it is because of the missing loadingscreens and outroimages in \left4dead\materials\vgui\missions which are needed now o.O?

[joni]

That also happens with the original game when connecting to cracked servers, so I guess that's a server-side issue.

[SpecOp0]

okay, than it's the hoster's fault
and my game isn't broken
thanks 

[LeVin]

Have anyone played any custom campaing online  (coop or versus)?
thx satannuts, you are always so quick ReSPECT

[-]July 16, 2009 - Left 4 Dead Update Released

Left 4 Dead has been updated to include a lobby browser. The lobby browser (under Play Online) will show you a list of optimal games available for you to join. The browser pares down the thousands of lobbies and games currently being played to show you the best list of games available to you. This list includes official and add-on campaigns, including add-on campaigns you have not yet installed, making it a great way to discover them. You can filter by difficulty, official and/or add-on campaigns and by lobbies and/or games in progress. The specific changes include:

Left 4 Dead


The Play on Steam Group Server screen now displays which Steam group it's searching while updating the list

After calling a vote to change difficulty in game it is now correctly updated in matchmaking


Add-on Campaigns

When downloading a new version of an add-on and installing it (by double clicking the .VPK file), it will now correctly overwrite the pervious version, even while Left 4 Dead is currently running

Addressed a crash when two mission files with the same name are installed

Steam Group Servers now will now correctly offer download links when running add-on campaigns


Server

The server will now warn if the public or private tags exceed their limits. Public tags are limited to 63 characters. Private tags used for matchmaking are now limited to 1024 characters. Note that the private tags include the name of each add-on campaign installed on the server, so an excessive number of add-on campaigns can hit this limit


SDK

The VPK tool should be able to handle campaigns larger than 500MB now

You can now drag and drop or pass a VPK file to the vpk.exe tool to have it extract the contents of the add-on to a folder. This mirrors the functionality of passing a folder and having it create a VPK file

Detail.vbsp and lights.rad have been added to the distribution

NOTE
This doesn't change the protocol for l4d. The version is still 1.0.1.4.

Code:

] version
Version 1.0.1.4 (left4dead)
Exe build: 11:47:01 Jul 16 2009 (3904) (500)

For those who are @ v1014 - june29th:

    * Restored Find a Game Lobby/Find a Game in Progress to the Create Lobby screen available from the Lobby Browser
    * Updated localization text
    * Fixed an issue where VPK.EXE would not extract all files

THX Satannuts, I Love U So Much, U R The Best

[KKHfai]

Help Satannuts I Got Engine Error (Steam is not running. You must start Steam in order to play this game) With The Hotfix 2.

[Alko]

You've got to re-apply the rev-emu everytime you patch your game.

[KKHfai]

You've got to re-apply the rev-emu everytime you patch your game.

Before That, Everytime I Patch Up My Game But I Dont Re-apply The Rev-emulator And The Game Still Work Proberly. WHY

Now I Got This Error

CSteamClient::GetISteamUserStats error:
STEAMUSERSTATS_INTERFACE_VERSION006 not defined! Please update the
emulator.

HELP

EDIT: I Trying To Install The New Rev-emulator v9.78 RC3 hmm....................... Not Work

SOMEONE HELP

[Blabla]

With this new update, nobody joins my "home" server from lobby

Thanks for the hotfix 2

[jynx1973]

This could explain why my server dll's kept getting changed on my payed for server yesterday...
i hope that this is what cause the issues because it seems to have stoped now at any rate.

[chinni]

Satannuts you are the greatest man alive. You have guided me through L4D installation, thanks. Oh and thanks for the update.

[pspam]

Greetings:)

Patched engine.dll: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8GGS4SO2

All credits goes to n0limit, I just patched the new version again....

Have nice weekend:)

[pspam]

with this latest version, (for me) the REV-EMU is not working anymore

[satannuts]

for those having issues with rev-emu...
hotfix 2 includes the original steamclient.dll... it will overwrite your rev-emu dll.
After updating with the hotfix please rename steamclient.dll to steamclient_ori.dll.
then apply the latest rev-emu and set the ClientDll=steamclient_ori.dll.

you should be good to go...

EDIT: nevermind seems we need a new rev-emu...
same error here... please refrain from updating to hotfix 2 for the time being...

For those who have already updated to hotfix 2 and cannot play L4D,
Here's the rollback to the june29th update:
RapidShare - FileDropper - MediaFire

Before That, Everytime I Patch Up My Game But I Dont Re-apply The Rev-emulator And The Game Still Work Proberly. WHY

some previous updates included the rev-emu already...  some updates don't.

[KKHfai]

EDIT: nevermind seems we need a new rev-emu...

Yea Same Error Will Rollback To Previous Version With Ur Rollback June29th Update
Anyway Thx To U Satannuts

some previous updates included the rev-emu already...  some updates don't.

O............ OK Now I Know

[pspam]

Hi...

What do you mean by "never mind........same error here" Did you just uploaded something what you never tested?:DDD

anyway, here are the files what's preventing the new version to work with the rc2 rev-emu...Those who applied the hotfix overwrite their client with this to have it working again... I didn't test all the game functions, but at least we know that if you have this three older files.. your game will start (actually you don't even need the client.dll, but game pops up the same error before it continues, so its better to have)

Why Do This Better Wait For The New Rev-emulator That What Satannuts Says

[pspam]

Than don't do it... but if somebody doesn't have a clue about computers and files, just wanna play and already applied the hotfix..do you think she/he got some backup of the old version???

and you missunderstud me, if you extract the whole rar you wont have any error, and the game works perfectly like b4, and you will have most of the new functions as well.. With the new emu, you just reapply the hotfix2 and install the new rev-emu.. what do you mean by "why do this"? this is just a simple small rollback, wont do any harm.
