Left 4 Dead Map Update: Hunter Training, Developed by eyeonus! Polish Your Hunter Skills, Or Put Them to the Test!
I’m sure you all remember eyeonus’s map, Hunter Training. Perhaps the most helpful map that has been thus far. Well, it’s just got better, with eyeonus’s release of the completed version of Hunter Training (Final v3.0). A must have for any versus player, or anyone who wants to test their skills.
UPDATED from v2.3 to v2.6 on July 16th, 09.
UPDATED from v2.6 to v2.8.1 on October 11th, 2009.
UPDATED from v2.8.1 to v3.0 on December 20th, 2009!
1. Hunter Training (Final 3.0)
Map Created by eyeonus (Email: eyeonus@gmail.nospam.com)
Details: “A portal-like hunter training map for teaching advanced hunter pounce techniques and the practice thereof.”
Hunter Training 3.0 readme: This map is now compatible with L4D2, although with some limitations/
For Left 4 Dead:
To play this map alone (Single Player), select “Play Single Player”, NOT “Play Campaign”, choose Hunter Training in the addon campaign list, and start the game. After some delay, you will spawn as a ghost smoker in the start room as before.
To play this map with friends (Multiplayer), select “Play Versus”, select Hunter Training in the addon campaign list, and when everyone is ready, start the game. Note that multiplayer above four people is only possible on modded servers, but up
to four people will work without issue.
For Left 4 Dead 2:
Single Player:
1) open console
2) type “map hunter_training_map versus” without the quotes
3) Press enter.
Multiplayer:
1) Put the .vpk on your server.
2) Connect to your server. You can do this either by:
a) typing “ms_dedicated_force_servers <server ip>” into console and THEN starting a Versus lobby OR
b) typing “connect <server ip>” in console, replacing <server ip> with your server’s address.
If you use method 2b, you MUST have SourceMod >= 1.4 installed, and MUST type “sm_cvar mp_gamemode versus” into console after connecting.
3) Open the console and type “rcon changelevel map_hunter_training_map” You must have rcon access on the server to do this.
The Live Fire Course is NOT playable in L4D2 without SourceMod >= 1.4 installed due to the cvar “mp_gamemode” being hidden, however, with SM installed, it works fine- albeit without displaying pounce damage.

please make a video on how to set up as multiplayer
Ah here it is.
I love this.
However the new update requires all maps to be in a .vpk format and no longer works to load through console for me. Does loyalkng know anybody that can do this? Can the maker do it? Any leads on where to find that? I had it almost completed working at it every day… =
Thanks for the info Peter, I’ve uploaded the .vpk version of Hunters Training, so if you download the file it should work correctly.
^^ Enjoy~
A few bugs were found since v.2.3. The current version is 2.6, and can be downloaded from www.l4dmapdb.com/map:hunter-training
Make sure to read the readme included in the .zip archive, as it contains important information on playing the map.
eyeonus, I have just updated the post to be up to date with your current Hunter Training version 2.6.
If there is anything you see needing change/fixing, please feel free to comment back, or email me via: iPervy@gmail.com ^^
Ah yes. I actually just googled eyeonus and found him and the link to the new version before i noticed this. of course, i check this site often, you guys have an awesome sense of humor.
Well, you should change or remove this part, as it is no longer the correct way to start my map since the addon update:
Single player: map hunter_training
Multiplayer: mp_gamemode versus in server.cfg, map hunter_training_map
The map is now at version 2.8.1.
Most of the changes are compatibility concerns with L4D updates, but there are a couple additions- for instance, the Live Fire Course now has a room to take you back to the training course.
Hunter Training is now L4D2 compatible. Well, as compatible as I can currently make it, anyway. Due to issues with “mp_gamemode” being hidden in L4D2, the Live Fire Course is non-working unless SourceMod >= 1.4 is installed, and for some unknown reason it’s not selectable in the add-on campaign list, so it has t be started via console for now.
Hopefully the second issue will be resolved when the L4D2 SDK comes out.
I’ll email Pervy when I have a DL link, it’s uploading to MegaUpload.com and L4DMaps.com now.
In other news, “Hunter Training” is ranked #10 of the 10 best maps for L4D by PC Gamer. That’s pretty cool.
I sent Pervy the link, so you should have v.3.0 on here sometime in the near future.
eyeonus, congratulations on the top 10 ranking! Your work on the map is well deserved of that title.
I’ve also updated the post to be up to date with v3.0 and will be posting up a new post to notify the other Left 4 Dead lovers of your update and achievement.
I think I speak for everyone when I say we hope to see you keep pumping out your killer maps!
Help! Hunter_training_c21 map can not be a multiplayer game
Hello!
Left4dead
map hunter_training_c21, multiplayer games, tips: your string table differs from the server’s.
Map is 2.81, left4dead version: 3908.
How to set hunter_training_c21 multiplayer game?
Thank you very much!
You need version 3 of the map- the string table error is caused by you not having the same version of the map as the other players.
