I Hate It

This is a horrible map. Please do not download this and save yourself the brain damage.

Carte Ultra buggée, mort souvent sans raison !!!

Much bug in this map

4/10 bad map

Overall a pretty shitty campaign that makes no sense and has the hardest final/rescue map ever.

i believe it was requested we changed or removed the music because of copyrights.
also, Huck often breaks more than fixes, that's everyone's problem with him.
thought this used to be one single vpk before so I don't know why it was split.

and i love when ppl say something sucks with no reason why lol just say i didnt like it, otherwise yes this is a Hard campaign that will make you use teamwork and stick together or die, so if your generally an Advanced difficulty player or Expert you will probably like this campaign, if your normally an Easy or Normal difficulty player you probably wont like it cuz you will die quickly running around disorganized from the other players

otherwise its built well, runs well, and looks good, but again is difficult so its for a challenge

otherwise thats easy enough yeah, i did the same thing for our website download i believe when it 1st went down, just unpacked the .vpk files into the folders, copy and pasted them all into the 1 folder, and repacked it to a .vpk for a single download

@Ryan - if you want to make a 1 .vpk campaign for gamemaps thats fine you can just unpack the vpk files and merge all the folders together, you Dont have to remove the custom music though, Chris updated it when he made the Epilogue so that the custom music plays to only this campaign, and if you have a custom music mod for Tank etc. from the workshop that will overwrite the campaigns music, only sometimes are there campagins where the Dev didnt impliment the music correctly so it overwrites other campaigns / mods

i mean you can remove the music, but theres not much reason to, if you do re-upload to gamemaps etc. make sure you Do Not edit the addoninfo.txt file and change the Author info line etc. which is why most devs arent happy with Hucks versions cuz he seems to think since he edited a few things and change / prepared it then its okay to label it his credited version, and its like nah thats now how it works xP

Garbage campaign.

yes, it's on either my account (Trunten) or jaiz's account.

is there a version for gamemaps?

nice maps

very good!

no problem ryan go a had and do it i have no skill to do that but i belive you guys can do it ^^

nothing really needed "fixed", i was just wanting to simply make it a single vpk again.
but if copyrighted music was a concern or issue it can easily be replaced or removed.
other than that, it's between you and Chris regarding whatever "Huck" did and why...
he might be a friend of mine, yes, but I'm not associated or involved in what he does.

i almost forgot i was "subscribed" to these comments.
based on what Chris has claimed...
Lucy, what I was wanting to contact you about was making an "alternative" version.
I wanted to look into replacing the supposed "copyrighted" music"...
and i also wanted to make a single VPK version.
basically giving people options of what kind of version they'd want.
in case people use their own custom music.
but also having everything be one single vpk (if possible) is convenient.
at least for the "Game Maps" web site, it was done once before.

The fourth chapter of absolute zero has a high probability of game pause or host crash before entering the cable car.

The creater have good potential but he/she need to work on balancing the map, So many unfair moments and way too many common infected horde and special infected spam(Which is okay for a shorter map but for a map this long? Nahhh)

thanks, lucy, i look forward to it.
the shorter version is, i'd like to release my own version with another friend.

hello guys, sorry i was out of my town for a month just came back, i will talk to you guys as soon as possible.

lol yeah feels like a lot could have been avoided

and hucks version is his deal where he just has a different version of the maps then the last finale version so it shouldnt really be there to begin with, or if it was changes he made going from this last version he needs to rename the maps and stuff accordingly then make some kind of version number in the title so ppl know and can get both or 1 if they prefer it, but the servers wont mix the campaigns and their maps as the same that way

yeah the workshop versions are split into parts for the upload limit steam has for a stable download, although you can upload larger stuff if its not more than the limit for you account, if you unpack the parts its literally all the same folders and info just spread out so if you renamed the folders exactly the same and merged them they would be 1 essentially the same way, although you might have to change the map cycle or something if those are split between the parts and stuff but its generally the same

i wanna say the version on gamemaps was a 1 pack upload but im not sure, it may have been just the parts vpks all in 1 zipped folder i cant remember

so mainly if your gonna make an altered version then credit the info and what you changed, but if your gonna try and make something different out of it so you dont have to credit those ppl then just make something from scratch lol its probably easier

yeah if this is gonna be the last official AZ and SA versions then it would be cool if we could get Jeff Broadbent and the other credits on these pages descriptions

then anyone that makes a different version just change the map file names like "l4d2_zero01_south" or "azhill1", and also put in your title its your version of the map so its noticable to ppl, and that would make it so ppl could get both versions and they wont conflict with eachother, of course changing everything that goes along with changing the map names from Hammer editor and addoninfo etc. then adding the credits accordingly

o the problem with Hucks is mainly its just an older version of the same AZ which means the actual map file names that make up the chapters are the same, so if you try to play that one from your game it might try to match you to a server that has the actual last version that is this one, so hucks is a different story where its just he has a different version of this map uploaded which isnt good whether the lastest version was uploaded by the actual author or someone to just keep the map alive for anyone that wants to play

if anyone wants to make another version or branch off then they just have to detail they used AZ content as a base with the credits to those ppl, then add if you removed sounds or anything or whatever, and even if you change the landscape to the point where its a total different map and use non of the copy righted sounds, you still have to tag AZ and the credits as you used any part of it

but this is the finale AZ and SA releases, so anything else should be credited with the info that would be on here and renamed accordingly, map file names and campagin title changed depending on if its supposed to be a alternate version or a completely different map made out of parts of AZ and its content, that way they dont conflict for players to servers and of course have original credits + whatever was changed by whoever

thanks for stoppin in after retirement to clear it up Soul ;D

i dont think ive seen Ryan rework anything yet so he might have plans to do it legit and rework whatever then release a different version with the credited info and change the map file names so its different than this original version, so i cant really say whats up there but often ppl find mods and want to change them a little and then decide that since its changed enough that they are the author now and change that info, or if they try to contact an author but dont hear back from the original creator then they just go with it since they didnt get an answer back, which is kinda silly lol although i get the feeling they would like an answer even if its just "sry but no dont touch my shiz plz"

so anyone planning to do any work with existing content, make sure you go back over the info and etiquette on modding before going ahead, and doesnt matter how much you change something then you still have to credit it in your final product

there seems to be some misunderstanding tho on reworking content, so if we can get the info clearly then there shouldnt be much issue now on for conflicting versions, or if there is conflicts or non credited reworks you can strike them down since they dont follow the (c) or requests of the authors

Hucks version is the same thing but an older version so the maps file names are the same, meaning the game wont tell the difference from that version of AZ to this one which makes servers conflict with the players, so you just have to make sure to change the .bsp maps file names too otherwise it will clash with the original version, which is the problem with Brisco / Hucks version which is the same just older so its missing content

and also he likes to not give the original info sometimes or even change the addoninfo file if he edited it in some way which was the problem with the Fatal Freight he did, but thats more just him and the map version he used not an actual rework of the maps

ah gotcha its pretty much how i figured, then this is the main last version of the original Absoute Zero / epilogue campaigns, but Magnums makes a good point it would be cool if this version had the credits info on the page so we know from now on besides the Chris and Project Zero Team thats in the addoninfo

and if anyone is gonna do something with the editors version then make sure to change the map file names and make your own version of the maps name for the title too, so if i was gonna make an altered version i would call it something like "Absolute Zero - vTDB.1" and have the credits info for the absolute zero map and then the info on what i did, or even if someone changes the maps enough that its not recognizable as the AZ maps then you call it a new map name like "Absolutely Frozen" or "Snow Blind" but still credit the AZ maps as the base content

@ Chris :). I'm sorry but they've removed all your history off gamemaps except what was recently loaded back up there. So unfortunately if anyone was mentioned during the games development we don't have anything there to reference. Have you got a list of people besides the two you mention below and yourself you'd like credited? I think that's the easy way to fix this :). Thanks

until your done with your new version its probably better ppl get this one tho since it is the same as most the servers have as the last version, till yours is done so everyone can move to that one but if anyone else is planning the same hopefully they give the map a new type of version name in the title, cuz i had a feeling there would be a few version of the map showing up after he released the authors version, which is usually the point of doing that

yeah im not sure he really meant to give "rights" to the campaign to Lucy or anyone that uploaded it as that was probably more of a "yeah go ahead so everyone can play it but dont change the info or maps", which is just the last version of the campaigns he uploaded publicly so its what everyone had last (not anything he worked on afterward cuz it wouldnt be known to everyone else that didnt work with him at some point)

but if your gonna rework a couple thing so Kichwas or whoevers music it was, i cant remember if Kichwa did the music or models, but the music isnt there and the easter egg room is gone then thats cool if its what he wanted, just dont leave any displacement gaps please so that way we arent leaking memory in that area all the time ;D lol, but as long as it runs fine then its the same for everyone else and theres just 1 version

yea, "Tom", luckily I have a copy of possibly the last version released.
I've been working to replace the copyrighted music (and remove a "naughty" secret room).
just need to get in contact with Lucy since I've been told she's the one who "owns" it now.
Chris ("Soul") also verbally claimed multiple times he gave up many rights.
Soul also claims he no longer cares about the campaigns or community.
therefore, along with the release of his source files in "author edition" I take it as fair game.

ya i noticed the other guys upload recently, it seems like his is an older version thats missing some models and textures which makes for a problem when servers are running the final and players are getting his version

i would like to discuss this campaign with you.
please accept my friend request.
we should talk about uploading rights because there's different versions.
i was also a former tester for Soul a long time ago.
