i was going nuts trying to figure this out thanks bro lmao

@🦇 ARTHUR CARLOS J KENNEDY🏆 this is not fucking real bro. I tried literally everything in regards to make this shit work with my mods, disabling and re-enabling so many mods as well as culling most my subscriptions. I tried all sorts of different gamemodes and mutations. It worked once and then stopped working which was gaslighting me.
And this random comment about custom boomer mods is the solution. bro lmfao l4d2 modding cannot be fr

Try it and crashes it every time now

did This fixes the loading screen crash with custom boomers mods ?

This mod does make Journey To Splash Mountain more challenging. The zombies have more ways to attack. The biggest problem with Journey To Splash Mountain is that the last two maps aren't optimized. They cause graphics lag. That's especially true when the helicopter arrives during the finale. Splash Mountain should not cause the game to crash to the desktop unless you're playing online.

Hey thanks for making this fix.

This is one of my favorite maps.

@xanaguy I saw this nav fix (NOT_CLEARABLE attribute and func_nav_attribute_region) for map5 fixed a dedicated server crash:
https://www.gamemaps.com/details/26316
I thought maybe something like this might exist in map4 (splash4) and be the cause of the dedicated server crash where I described. I do not think your nav fix caused any problem, but I was hoping you could find and fix this... if it turns out to be a navigation issue like the one described for map5.

I'm not sure how nav is relating to a crash, if it's really just a one off instance. then I doubt it would be this. Have you confirmed that this doesn't happen without the fix?

@Xanaguy I spoke too soon. Just a lucky coincidence that it worked. Seems the dedicated server only crashes 98 times out of a 100, so missing textures was not the issue. Perhaps map 4 (splash4) has a navigation attribute problem too? If that map crashes, and it is the only one that ever does, it always crashes between opening the alarm door and the roof where the switch to turn the alarm off is. I am hoping you can find and correct a navigation issue somewhere in between there.

Awesome, glad to see the issue's resolved.

FYI @Xanaguy and anyone else that encounters this problem. I was finally able to solve the dedicated server crash issue in map 4 when you open the alarm door and run to the roof to turn the alarm off and grab the next wheel. It was missing textures. I subscribed to these two workshop addons, made sure they were at the top of the addonlist.txt file, and the server no longer crashes. Hallelujah!

And of course, thank you @Xanaguy for your addon to fix nav attributes! It is great to be able to put this campaign back in rotation.

Oh, unfortunately, I was not aware of any crashes at that part of the campaign. I had noticed a crash during the intro scene due to a conflict with certain campaigns (forgot which), but it wouldn't have anything to do with this.

This addon only fixes nav attributes and removes certain entities via .lmp files.

No, I did not mean to imply that the crash is caused by your addon. It was definitely there before (it always crashes there). I thought your addon might fix the issue, but it sounds like that is not expected.

That crash appears unrelated to this addon.

You can try testing if it actually is related by removing the fix first, then trying the event again. If it is the cause, then I can look into it.

Well, I made certain that this VPK was the very first one in the addonlist.txt file, but the dedicated server still crashed at the end of the Splash Mountain log ride where you open the alarm door and run to the roof to turn the alarm off. Is this fix supposed to address that, or will I need a different fix?

Yes, I forgot how the directory started with dedicated servers.

But to answer the question, all addons have to appear in that addonlist.txt file, if memory serves right, it just matters which one shows up first - from top to bottom.

LOL, our updates crossed. Thank you for such a quick and helpful reply!

Regarding my previous comment, do you mean, make sure this VPK appears in the <L4D2server_directory>/left4dead2/addonlist.txt file?

When there are conflicting addons, they will appear as red in the list, when that happens, only the first file of that name and file path will be loaded, while the other file with that same file name and file path will be ignored.

For the clients of a server, this shouldn't matter as long as the host has the correct files loaded.

For the server itself, as long as this addon is before any of the 5 campaign parts in the list located in "Left 4 Dead 2/left4dead2/addonlist.txt", that addon's fix will take effect.

@Xanaguy
I have two questions about this statement:
**IN ORDER FOR THIS TO WORK, MAKE SURE THIS ADDON IS INSTALLED BEFORE ANY OTHER JOURNEY TO SPLASH MOUNTAIN PARTS**

1. How is this done/confirmed on a dedicated server?
2. How is this done/confirmed on a client PC?

I was wondering why the original was too easy. Thanks for this.

Obrigado por este MOD de correção. Eu amo esta campanha, é uma de minhas favoritas por se passar durante o dia. Infelizmente o autor dela parece não se interessar por correção, mas graças à você pude jogar sem erros de texturas.

+rep nice map

+rep the best map I have ever seen! keep going!

Good patch : All it's OK ! Thank you !!!
