Left 4 Dead 2 Another way to help understand L4D2 level creation is to see what makes up an official one. This does not mean that developers are limited to only these elements in a L4D2 map, but these maps can be very good examples to start with.

Todo: Organize, interpret, tabulate, compact... celebrate!

Compiling

Some Observations / Interpretations

  • sky_camera is in every map. A L4D2 map without a 3D skybox will give graphical glitches in-game.

Example: Dead Line 2

c1: Dead Center

Light settings

Entities

Audio and Choreography

Lighting and Visual Effects

Logic

Props

Trigger

Weapons

Other
