It seems that all that digging around in the L4D2 files has actually been use full. Do you think that this is going to actually happen?
Given all of the hooting and/or hollering that’s surrounded Valve’s Left 4 Dead franchise regarding downloadable content, it’s no surprise that, as Joystiq reports, the Internets are abuzz over reports that errors have been found in the code for the Left 4 Dead 2 demo that apparently reveal two future bits of DLC: the "Miracle Pack" and the "Apocalyptic Pack."Source 1 Source 2Now, it isn’t clear which L4D game these two supposedly new DLC packs would eventually be for, but given that Valve released the DLC pack "Crash Course" for L4D just last month, it would be mighty generous (but not out Valve’s fan-loving reach) if these were in fact DLC packs for the first game. Then again, such a move would go a long way towards ensuring that no one ever questions Valve's loyalty to its fans ever again.
I contacted Valve to find out just what’s going on here, and received a simple, “Stay tuned.” So…stay tuned.
Seems people have been digging through the L4D2 files, heres some of what they found:
- There seems to be some mention of two DLC packs, people are unsure of if it is for L4D1 or 2 but here is the copy/paste (due to the mention of the Survival Pack, people think its for the 1st game).
- In the Maplist, there is mention of the original campaigns, speculation on whether they will be included in the final version has come up
- Because this is the dedicated server files, people have found mention of being able to pick the original survivors in the lobby (Mugshots from the lobby character selector)
- Swamp Fever and Dead Center campaigns only have 4 maps each
- Here is a whole list of VMF and VMT files that you can view using this program.
This is the location of the files so you can view them on your own if you want.
