Left 4 Dead No-Steam Patch 1.0.1.3

First of all this is a torrent I download from another site and couldn't find here so I decided to upload it here. ---------------------------- NEW INFORMATION ---------------------------- The sound fix in this torrent is not necessary. You can install it for better sound quality but theonbooh has a better fix: 1. Delete left4deadmapssoundcache_master.cache 2. Then start the game 3. Wait for the loading to finish, you'll have and empty main menu. 4. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del and open the Task Manager 5. Kill left4dead.exe 6. Start the game again ---------------------------------------- END OF NEW INFORMATION ---------------------------------------- Installation instructions have changed since 1.0.1.1. Please read them again. The Skullptura sound fix is a new (and still cumulative) version. If you had to use it before, you'll need it again to improve sound compatibility. Though the game should be "playable" with the previous sound fix as well, this is much better. This cumulative patch contains all files necessary to update Left 4 Dead to the new version: Version 1.0.1.3 (left4dead) Exe build: 16:40:18 Apr 17 2009 (3814) (500) It includes: - All binaries, maps, textures etc. that has been changed by Valve - The REVOLUTiON Emulator v9.76 RC2 - All credits go to the REVOLUTiON Crew (www.rev-crew.info) - Modified left4dead.exe by shmelle to accept and load the emulator - Server browser plugin written by cs.rin.ru user sh!tL0adeR - Some additional sound files in a separate archive because the new version was totally buggy with the Skullptura client (now it's compatible) [read new info above] - No installer What works: - Single player mode - LAN mode via console connect - Online mode on no-steam servers - Server browser (internet Setti list only, LAN/favorites/history does not work) - Achievements What does not work: - Steam Cloud (obviously, now RevEmu disables it - no more crashes because of it) - Avatars (or if you want to use a totally white avatar, then it's working for you... :)) - Lobby matchmaking system (not implemented in RevEmu) - Playing on Steam servers (it never will) - Achievement notifications (it's a RevEmu issue) Notes: Check for emulator updates at www.rev-cew.info Testing: I tested this package mostly on the Skullptura client and on a clean 1.0.1.1 (last one before the DLC) Steam rip because they are the primary targets. The patch still should work with other (and older) clients though. The patch ripped from Steam was incompatible because the new sound binary didn't play some of the downsampled/reencoded sound files (it's Skullptura after all) correctly. I included these files from the Steam version. They're in a separate archive. Actually, the older binaries don't play those sounds correctly either. Currently the only fix is to replace the sound files. Now there's a better fix: [read new info on top of this page] Compatibility: This client can connect to v1.0.1.3 servers only. Installation instructions: - Create a backup of your whole game! (To connect to old servers and in case something goes wrong) - Extract the main archive (Left 4 Dead No-Steam Patch 1.0.1.3.7z) to your game directory (where left4dead.exe is located) and overwrite everything - If you're using the Skullptura client (or any other with downsampled sounds) extract the sound fix (skullptura sound fix v2.7z) on top of that. Again overwrite everything. - Open rev.ini in Notepad and edit your player name (!DefaultPlayerName!), leave everything else - Launch the game via left4dead.exe - If the game asks about Steam Cloud (it shouldn't), disable it (uncheck the box). Uninstallation instructions: - Delete your game folder - Restore your backup :) About the server browser: - You can open it by typing "openserverbrowser" into the game console or you can bind a key for this command in config.cfg - The Setti servers appear on the Custom tab. If you know any L4D servers that do not appear on the list please submit them @ css.setti.info. The bottom of that page has a very good submit field. About the sound fix: [read new info on top of this page] - The sound fix is required for the "Left.4.Dead.Full-Rip.Skullptura" package. Without it there are a lot of sound bugs in this version. - This new version (v2) contains all files from the previous version and some additional music files which may fail to play correctly (like the mob attack music in the first chapter of No Mercy). This is a modified version of the readme.rtf file included in this torrent. This is the most recent version.
