Hello Tyr,
Your map seems to be a good start !
Anyway, I'd like to know how do you happen to have a working custom map running in L4D ?
I managed to compile a map with the Valve Hammer Editor, but when I run this map in Left 4 Dead, the engine crashes with a message saying something about a NULL name for a model.
Any idea ?
Thank you for your help in advance

Thanks for your comment :)
Hmm.. What I did was just taking the basic entities using the Valve Dev Community Wiki entry (http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/List_of_Left_4_Dead_entities). I compiled my map using the HL2:EP2 configuration, without any models and only with dev textures. It worked quite well. The players do start under the map (as can be seen in the video) and the director does not work that well yet.
If the error persists without any models or prop_ entities in your map, I don't know what the problem is :(
You can try to Google the exact error message, which might yield results.
Otherwise I suggest you should wait until the official SDK comes out, which is hopefully in the next weeks.
This seems like it'd be better if it started b4 the game starts.
Like the intro movie is the last level.
Running from a tank like that would be awesome.
Just some suggestions X3
Good Luck!
