hi i have following problem :

on Dead Center 3rd map, The Mall there are invisible walls and the stairs are invisible too ... the stairs can be seen only as infected -.-

Re: [L4D2] Routing (Dynamic Paths)
 

Fixed a mistake, it should work properly now.

Re: [L4D2] Routing (Dynamic Paths)
 

Yes! Thank you atomic, had wished this was in the initial release of L4D2!

By the way, will this randomly pick a path for both teams if not specified by an admin at roundstart? Or do you have to set easy medium or hard via config?

Edit: Nevermind, should of tested it before I asked :P Randomly picks as I had hoped!

Re: [L4D2] Routing (Dynamic Paths)
 

i dont really understand this plugin fully... what exactly does it do?

Re: [L4D2] Routing (Dynamic Paths)
 

Changes the path for Survivors to travel through.

So for example, you go down path A instead of path B.

Re: [L4D2] Routing (Dynamic Paths)
 

Uhhh, I just tested the plugin on c1m3_mall and the plugin picked the hard mode. So I rushed out the door and ran straight to the dynamic path split to find that you actually use stripper source to spawn props to make paths, quite interesting!

However, one problem lol. Right after the event in the mall it would seem that you have cut off all paths to the 3rd floor with the hard path, making it impossible to get up to turn off the alarm. Maybe I missed something but I looked all over :/

Otherwise nice job!

Edit: hmmm when playing again with other players it would seem a 2nd set of stairs had spawned at the bottom floor going up to the 2nd floor, however during my testing by myself I swere they were not there... lol. Anyways no matter, I guess thats no longer a concern.

hey, i made a thread suggesting dynamic paths a while ago in the steam forums, you may want to check it out if you want more ideas.

Re: [L4D2] Routing (Dynamic Paths)
 

Is the routing the same for both teams? Will both get easy or normal or hard, or will one get, say, normal and the other get the hard path?
