Left 4 Dead 2 Authoring Tools and Add-on Support

The Left 4 Dead Blog announces the release of the Left 4 Dead 2 Authoring Tools and Left 4 Dead 2 add-on support to allow the creation of custom content for Valve's zombie shooter sequel. Here's word:

We are releasing the Left 4 Dead 2 Authoring Tools and Left 4 Dead 2 Add-on Support today.

PLAYERS: If you are not looking to design but play custom campaigns all you need to do is install the add-on support package. Just go into steam and open up the Tools tab. Look for the entry labeled Left 4 Dead 2 - Add-on Support click and install it. This download is sizable, but will update your L4D2 installation to allow running ANY map, including custom maps made for the original Left 4 Dead. Once installed, you do not need to run this application, it will always be active.

We will be updating the Left 4 Dead 2 game UI to include links to this package when applicable but for now please just download it directly. If you see any missing textures or models from your favorite map let us know in the forums.

Nice - Downloaded and installed.
