L4D with aliens you say?  Free you also say?  I am intrigued...

[Grakelin]

When Forsaken, Warhammer, and I (also Huesoo, but he left halfway through) beat the game for (my) first time, I was so excite. I was the tech, doing the algorithm-appearing puzzle that would activate the  nuke.

When I finished it and turned around the timer for detonation started and the two of them had ran off.

[Malicus]

So...  anyone want to play?  I'm not terribly good, so I don't really feel like shaming myself in random games.  =P

Alien Swarm got updated again. They fixed the crash to desktops.

WHAT?!? Damn. You should have told me...somehow. I would have given up my game of RotK8 for AS. Somebody had said they were releasing a second patch today, but I forgot.

I'll try it out tomorrow. But from news:

Fixed crash to desktop on certain graphics cards

Does not give me hope.

I'm pretty sure that means they fixed the a bug that was only happening on certain graphics cards, not that the fixed the bug on some cards but not on others.  That's usually what it means.  I mean, I didn't have any crash bug.

[Mindmaker]

I'd play it, if the game was actually working.

I learned two things:
1. When your custom finale music track finishes playing, it doesn't load a new track afterwards. Just silence. Might be an issue for user created maps right now which rely solely on your custom music.
2. People don't appreciate it when you hang around outside the exit room waiting for your song to finish playing.

Edit: Courtesy of this guy: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1371124, here's an updated list of useful console commands.

asw_custom_skill_points 1

If used before people connect to the game, the host is allowed to spend points on the Marines' stats. Disclaimer: Not really supported or well balances, use at own risk.

asw_ignore_need_two_player_requirement 1

Game will ignore the two player requirement. In other words, you can go rambo.

asw_horde_override 1

Enables an AI director like in L4D.

asw_horde_class asw_parasite

Enables the AI director to spawn parasites (scary!)

asw_pick_stim_music

"This command allows you to pick a custom .mp3 or .wav to play during adrenaline. It even brings up a little menu to pick the file, like for when choosing sprays in other Source games." - Courtesy BobX (umi: FUCK YES!!!!!)

Awesome. I'd put in Pantera. "RhoooooOAAAAAH Fucking HOSTILE!"
Or something like that.

[umiman]

Actually. Don't use that one for now. I tried it and what happened was it removed all music from my game. I have no idea how to reenable music now. Going to do a fresh reinstall.

[Puck]

Something to consider: if you tell the game where to look for your (custom) music, it doesnt just play the files from there, no, it copies them over. Maybe it does some file conversion, too, I don't know, at any rate, it's weird.

I just wanted to try that feature and pointed it to my mp3 folder, which locked up the PC. But I had a hunch so I went and make a sammich, a pretty big one, heavy weapons guy would start drooling over it, it was that pretty. The whole sammich-creation-phase took about 15 minutes. When I came back, the PC was still locked, for about 2 minutes more, and then, voila, there was the music.

I wouldnt be surprised if using that console command while having a large collection could screw up things pretty bad.

Oh, and somehting else to add to the list of useful console commands:

asw_fast_reload_under_marine 1 <- shows the reload bar under your guy
asw_show_all_singleplayer_maps 1 <- allows you to play all maps in every difficulty in offline practice. still, no xp, but I bet that can be changed, too.

Well, i can run it without it crashing now it's been patched. I lag on the elevator. But its cool because it just looks like slo-mo in offline practise.

Concerned about online play, but I tried anyway. Couldn't connect to anything.

[Mindmaker]

Well itf finally works.

I'll probably still should wait for my new PC, since the FPS slowed down to a crawl once I reached the elevator in practice :/

[cerapa]

You sure it isnt just the slow-mo?

[Siquo]

The elevator scene is beautiful, by the way.

Anyone else reminded of TMHT 2 on the NES?

Not sure.
I'll replay it once I'll be home again.

If it works out well, I can play with any of you who are willing to play.
