I got Left 4 Dead the day after it cam out over Steam.I really enjoy it,but are there any mod's out there for the game yet?I know there is an offical mod site but last time i checked there wasn't anything on there.I know it's kind of early and mod writers need time to develop the mods but I recently bought a new PC after being primarily a console gamer for all my life and I want to take advantage of all the kool things with games i couldn't do before.If I had the time or knew how, i would write a mod myself but i don't so i'm relying on other people to make the content and i'll just play it. BTW my steam account is    terrytate42

Brad made a blog about a mod that's being made, emulating the Dawn of the Dead mall:

Isn't that DC and not a mod?"

"why would you need mods for a game that is simply a sub-par counter-strike mod?"

lol @ bjorno

Mods take time, sometimes longer than a game because teams are much smaller and have to make the time to work on it between actual jobs. Plus, the proper SDK hasn't even been released yet. Don't expect anything if you have the 360 version. I have a Total Conversion in the works, and I've only done a few concept drawings in between work and school.

The SDK hasn't come out yet so people can't update their maps to support the game.
When the SDK comes out you'll find a load of DLC for the game on the PC.

Actually, people can. It's just a little bit harder to do. People managed to get de_dust (unmodified) to work on L4D. Technically any map made using the Source engine for HL2/CS/TF2 etc. can be used in L4D without modification (zombies and all)."

The only custom content released so far have been reskins and a few custom maps. The only map I've been able to find that works without having to extract HL2, TF2 or CS:S content is L4D Town Square. It's small, uses developer textures and there is very little to do. There is probably a few more maps out there, but not many have been posted publicly. As Scooper mentioned, the SDK hasn't been released. A group of folks on various L4D forums figured out a way to create an unofficial makeshift SDK, however it's better described as a workaround. I tested it out on the weekend and quickly reverted back to holding off on map creation till the official SDK is released.

As of right now I don't see much more than custom maps and maybe a few serverside mods being released from the content creation and customization community. That's not exactly a bad thing seeing as a lot can be done with a combination of the two, but I doubt many full on L4D mods will be released. It's still the Source engine after all, so it's not some enormous change from HL2. The Director is an interesting tool to mess around with and it can be controlled rather easily without having to mess with much more than map entities and console commands. It's very accessible without having to create full fledged mods.

I thought it was a Map, not a mod? Also go to fpsbanana, and check out some of the skins.
