New Version:

KF-Mist is a rework and re-release of HotelZed without destructible walls, a very different atmosphere with a random event, and traps.

Frequently had zeds spawn a few feet in front of me (usually in the lobby area)
There is also pathetically little ammo/weapon pick ups available

nice <3

Hello everyone. Would you all be interested in having the effects of Mist and Damnation as a randomized selection for this map? Please participate in the poll above if interested!

I would remove Hotelzed_Mist and Damnation from the workshop if I do this.

I really enjoy this map, GJ!
-That time when someone welded me on the roof to get killed by a horde of zeds... I led them off the roof and right back inside the building to the door-welderer who was still on the stair case behind the door to let him have it XD

Shame this map isn't getting more attention. Great idea and theme, plus it's not one of those multi-stage maps.

Updated map with better collision around cars to prevent exploits and have smoother movement

@Cheek I am confused about the hole in the wall part. There is supposed to be a hole in the roofs wall so you can escape and jump down.

@Cheek

- The trader will go through the walls you can destory, you just have to destroy it.
- All zed spawns are outside of the hotel so thats actually not possible for them to spawn out of thin air
- please call out the spot so I can fix it and the game breaking issues as I haven't had any bug reports lately

Thanks :)

Will try it soon.

Updated map to fix spot where large zeds would get stuck.

Removed bugged dosh hold zone

@juicy thanks for the report. I will look into it.

If anyone else has any bugs or exploits please post them!

Great map but zeds can get stuck on this the pic i've attachted.

Update: Stand Your Ground obj areas added to map. Spawning has been optimized and the roof will be a bit tougher to hold now.

and the map looks great

i had to do shitty Hotel Mario joke im really sorry

Nice day for trade to call us to buy weapons hey Scully ( hope there is lots of dosh said Scully ) Scully look it's from Patriarch ( the leater says dear pesky survivers me and my children have taken over the traders now traiders are locked at one of my Zedhotels i dare you two to unlock the traders if you two can ) we have to fight Zeds ( said MR Foster ) and you have to help us said ( said DJ Scully and pointed at the player ) if you need help beating Zeds go options and set the difficulty to normal

Map has been updated:
- Fixed multiple exploits
- Fixed Boss having a slightly delayed spawn

This map is epic! Its well detailed, challenging, and lots of fun!

Please use this way to fix the "Boss not spawn" problem, it's very simple and fastest.

Love the vertical play on this and the destructible building parts. One of the best KF2 maps to date.

down the road from me is this https://www.hotelzed.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI6Muam_OB1gIVz2F-Ch2h_QGeEAAYASAAEgI2u_D_BwE

@reyson It was designed around the 6 players. I can open it up and get a version that would be better suited for 6+ players.

Zeds won't actually spawn above or on the second floor from the vents if no one is there. If you go on the roof the they will start spawning from the top to prevent too much roof camping.

its a really good optimised map and can be unforgiving. But tbh, out of alot of custom maps i've played I don't like this map that much. On all difficulties with the usual 6 it's plausible.But 6+ to 40 players (which I played this map with) on the server it becomes more of a bottlenecked grind of a chokehold point. There is no real reason or ability to keep such a team alive in the lower floors because the spawns form from all directions including upstairs, so the map forces a retreat to the roof in turn holds everyone gripped at the roof until death. No real escapes, or manuevers to get out of the situation unless plummet off the building. Which ultimately leaves it at that every time played The map is well crafted and beautiful but almost all of it goes to waste because the enemies bum rush the lower floors making people all bottle up on the roof. After doing it a dozen times it made me not like the map.

Oh man this map can really screw you over, love it!

However we had a Zed stuck somewhere, it was outside the accessible area of the map behind some smoke according to another player, I looked and did not see it myself.

Will do. Otherwise I dig the map. Destructible walls are nice.

@Dread

The preview version isn't even supposed to work with custom maps to my knowledge. Please let me know if this turns out to be an issue in the current or next non-beta update though!

Thanks!

FYI. Police and ambulance light textures are broken in preview version.

I just wanted to thank everyone for rating HotelZed. It has been at 4 stars for awhile, but just reached 5!

I appreciate everyone taking the time to rate as it helps gain exposure to other people who might have missed it in the workshop.

nice job vote up...

@Arkreiner There are nice cushy cars for you to land on :)

If you do aim for and land on the ambulance and vehicles you will take less damage and survive

Be nice to have something to land on when falling off the roof

@Forbearance I knew of this and understand the issue and am sorry for the inconvience. The name needed change since this was going to be the only version of HotelZed that I am going to be keeping. It will not be changed again!

Friendly reminder if you were not aware: Please do not change file name (.kfm) because we server admins have to manually update the new file name when you do in our map cycle list (AKA Crashes server if the wrong name is in there).

@All I changed the name to HotelZed for this, if you have the ancient original hotelzed please replace it with this. (you would only have this if you went to gamebanana or moddb before)

Some minor updates were put in as well, nothing game changing.

@Erik the Red I took great lengths to try and make chokepoints mute on this map. If there is actually an easy spot to holdout I would like it reported so I can find a way to flush people from it.

I think people should try to keep moving and use all parts of the map instead of just one area.

Great Map!

I really like this map but it is difficult to win on it. There are not really any good hold out spots from my experience. Due to the zeds coming from many many different directions no matter where you are on the map getting choke points up is difficult.

hey you still want to make a video presentation for this?

@ Bizzy

This is HotelZed2 which is different than HotelZed in terms of layout among a lot of other things. If it just says HotelZed on it then that is the old map version. This is the most up to date version of the map currently.

On my servers, I have "KF-HotelZed_FinalV6", based on your comment, I assume you have an updated version, the "v2"? Or is this the latest version... Thanks....

If the last version you have is v2 then nothing has changed. This is just so it's on the workshop.

Question: Is this version the same as previous before the workshop? I have this on my multiple "Bizzy Playhouse" servers... I will refresh the files if this version listed here is an updated version... Thanks... Keep up the great work...

Looks pretty cool, I will add it to my server and report back when I can.
