Left 4 Dead Mapping 
Since this game is fun to play and looks like it will be a lot of fun to map for, I was thinking of getting started sometime soon. Does anyone have any info about how to map for it? Since it just came out there doesn't seem to be a lot of info right now. Has anyone got the SDK to work with L4D assets yet? Anyone else thinking of making a map?

Trains 
Hey, I've pretty much never used trains. Or at least, very little, and not for a long time. I want to have a train start at a point, then, when triggered by a trigger_multiple, go on a path, and then return to its original point until triggered once more. How should I set that up? I'm sure it's simple enough but it doesn't seem to work as planned.

Cheers!
Can't find or download GenSurf and WinPack. Do you have working links? GenSurf is hosted at stupid atomicgamer and the links are dead. 
Spirit 
I will send you the files through email: both do not need installers ;)
If I remeber well, WinPack allow to dive into Packs, but not to create them (not like PakExplorer...).. and GenSurf is weird to use.. I never used it for my maps, just for tests, and I personnaly prefer Nemesis' tool... 
Drew 
Such a setup is not actually possible in standard quake, at least not allowing the sequence to be retriggered an indefinite number of times. You would have to use a custom mod like hipnotic or custents or quoth to do so. 
Train Line 
On a related note, I've got a question about func_rotate_train from the hipnotic source code....yeah, that monster.

Normally to make a func_rotate_train rotate to a specific angle on arrival at a point, you would set the second spawnflag on the destination path_rotate, and then set "angles" on that entity to the desired angle.
However, suppose you want the func_rotate_train to "rotate in place", that is reach a path_rotate, then rotate without also moving anywhere, before moving to another waypoint once the rotation completes.

You hit a problem: to do this you have to put the second waypoint(the one containing the rotation instruction) in the same location as first one. The result of this (which I can understand after reading the code) is that the train doesn't stay still to complete the rotation, it in fact completes the rotation as it travels to the third waypoint.

So my question: is there another way of setting up the path_rotates to facilitate this kind of motion(func_train_rotating a fixed arc at a waypoint without moving otherwise)? Or is it an oversight in the code which deserves fixing? A few "Preach, I have no bleeding idea" replies would assure me it's the latter. Alternatively, convince me that even if there is another way of doing it, the fact that the setup I describe does not work is a bug to be fixed.

Func_rotate 
I've been working with the path_rotate from custents and experienced the same odd behaviour.
I have a "doombird" which is linked to a rotate_object.
Then there are 24 cubes that act as func_movewall ( one doesn't work as it needs corners to know how to turn.)
An info_rotate to trigger and a func_rotate_train to inform.

All goes well, but as a mentioned earlier, there's always one point that the finc_rotate will counter act anti clockwise. I asked what it could be and then it worked with the 375 degrees function. But I couldn't override that nasty counterpart. So I didn't ask further for the donkey I am.

I had a startpoint on the same place as the endpoint.
func_rotate acts with and without angle.
With angle it turns the func_rotate and without it leads to the next angle.
Still by putting in a func_rotate between the end and the start without angle (or with) couldn�t make the func_rotate correct its position.

I have much ideas but I can't put humpty dumpty back again.
Maybe I should use the hipnotic one. 
Oh... Okay 
How could that scenario be set up in Quoth?
thanks again.
