Health Reform (beta)
| Author | UndeadBob |
| Date of release | 1.1 (beta)- 5 September 2009 |
Description
More frequently updated information on this campaign can be found at http://null-set.org
Over the last couple of months, I've completed "The Institution" and "The Garage" in that order. Don't ask why I started with level 4. I am currently in production of level 2: The Warehouse. I hope to have level 1 done by the end of September, and I will be sure to have beta releases out before that.
Please note that this is a beta campaign and I have not worked out most of the kinks. However, I try to keep most of the gameplay as stable as possible, so unlike most custom campaigns, the bots should know what to do *most* of the time.
Known Issues:
1) Upon death of survivors, they may respawn in the ending checkpoint when reloading level.
2) Guns/health packs may not spawn in safe rooms
Maps:
(unknown)
The Warehouse
(unknown)
The Institution
The Garage (Health Reform)

So, even in Left 4 Dead we need to deal with propoganda and unwanted opinions about the national agenda?
Piece of advice: Drop your political agenda and maybe more folks will take your campaign seriously.
This.
Same advice from me: Please just remove Obama and the headline for something unpolitical. We don't need any political direction tending campaign.
Sounds like someone has regrets about having voted for the catastrophe that is to come…
Seriously, if you don't like the political view of the author, go elsewhere.
I could agree that posting Obama on there was a bit much, but he looks good as a zombie
My statement is not be meant as pro or against Obama.
I just tell the mapper: If you leave the political stuff in your campaign, it'll probably annoy certain people which would otherwise looking forward and then playing your campaign.
And second: If you really leave it like that your campaign will be deleted from the big L4D custom platforms l4dmaps and l4dmods with a high chance.
LOL, no-one else notice that the poster is a rip off from the forthcoming 'Dead Before Dawn' campaign?
I lol'ed at some of the comments here. So what if it has a couple of political bits in it. If you don't like it, move on. No-one is forcing you to look at or play this campaign. I for one think it's intersting to have something from real life being included in a campaign.
Also, unless the people who own the sites are very anti-Obama or very anti-health reforms, they campaign won't get deleted. Even if that very slight possibility comes true, so what. The campaign will still be on here.
Unless the campaign has something seriously ethically wrong with it, i.e. promoted racism or major prejudices, then there is nothing wrong with it, and you shoudl leave it alone.
Thanks Megadude. That accurately describes our policy handling such matters. Nothing ever gets deleted except in extreme cases like you mentioned.
So, are talking for both l4dmaps.com and l4dmods.com or why are you answering like you can order that handling?
I'm speaking for l4dmapdb.com, since I run this site.
I can't be sure what the other sites will do. l4dmaps.com is probably fine, however l4dmods.com appears to be a little picky about what they allow on their site.
Hi peoples,
I didn't realize there was a discussion about my Title choice until just now. I didn't think the nice people at l4dmapdb.com would have an issue with it, so thanks for that reassurance, cold_blood3d. If I hear enough complaints about the name, I'll modify it.
Honestly, the only reason I chose the name was because my maps really don't have a theme. This is the very first set of bsp's/nav's/vpk's I have ever made, so I'm having to spend a lot of time on training (which doesn't leave much time for development). I spent a long time thinking about a good name and realized that it would be funny to incorporate "Health Reform" with "Zombie Appocolypse". To be honest, yes, I happen to be anti-reform, but I don't mean to start a political fire here. Just thought it would be fun for those of you who hate the idea of reform to take it out on a couple zombies (omg I just got a great idea for level 3).
I've been working on a new poster, which I will post momentarilly. Honestly, the Obama zombie I just happened to find with a quick google search. The background is actually the default template background (which I'm sure you other developers probably noticed).
I came to l4dmapdb.com because I wanted the public opinion which was difficult to understand with just our http://null-set.org site (so this discussion is good, thanks for posting). I also chose l4dmapdb.com for the easy download links and no free vs paid servers for downloading crap at those other l4d mapping sites >:P
I like the new background in the poster.
Yeah, except the "why so serious, you voted for it" is still snarky, and stand-offish. Themes are great and all, and I'd have no problem with "Health Reform" as a title - but the Obama was a bit much (thanks for removing it), but the "Why so serious" harkens to the anti-Obama campaign showing Obama in the Joker's visage (for those of you who didn't get the clue). Other than most like you are a 4channer who wants to put an 'inside joke' up for the world to see - it's still a bit offensive and you potentially alienate a good portion of the gaming populace who might have given it a chance.
You'll have to do something with the links in the "Maps included" section of this page. They take you to maps made by other people, instead of maps made by yourself.
(A couple of hours later). Just tried your campaign. It's very basic but it works. One question though. Apart from the few minor alterations you have made, why have you basically ripped off the garage from Dead Air for your finale? There cannot be any possible reasonable excuse for it.
Yea, sorry about the garage from Dead Air. Every campaign needs a finale and I haven't had time to build the entire level.
I just wanted to make sure my rescue vehicle works the way I think it should. I'll implement it elsewhere later.
Also, I was hoping to release this before L4D2 release, but my life is getting busier by the day. I just got married and now my wife and I are looking at building a house over the next 2 months…
