Awesome map!
You must have spend hours to get it that polished.
No bugs thus far and very challenging.

I looked inside your VPK and found that download link is incorrect.
Moddb.com
There is no version and DL from maps' in resources. If you will be planning an update I can post you what to update.
Btw, why did you call the addon here on moddb "Ryder, John" when the campaign name is Hive?

Hello geotavros,thank you for your warning on this,but i am aware of this situtation,both the link and the vpk link,i just didnt had the time untill now to fix it.
I will change it now to "https://www.moddb.com/games/alien-swarm/addons/hive"
About the resource file im not sure what you mean,if you can clearify it,i would apreciate it.
Thank you for taking your time and posting this mistakes :)

Overall the campaign looks good. Some bugs:
2nd mission Main Lab:
- Too laggy, high ping makes it barely playable on Brutal difficulty. This is because you added a lot of networked entities(eggs, biomass, aliens, buzzers!!!, moving prop_dynamic, func_brush that receives inputs, fund_tracktrain, triggers etc). use net_graph 1 to see the ping and "In" value. It is good to have "In" as low as possible, smaller then 1000 is good

Both missions:
- Marines bots often get stuck. This is because the node graph have broken links. Can be easily fixed. Read: Developer.valvesoftware.com , see official maps as examples. Use ai_show_connect to examine your graph
- Too much bloom. Can be easily adjusted by adding logic_auto and env_tonemap_controller, see official maps as examples.
- In resource/overviews/*.txt files you need to add a section with version, author and website, example:
"version" "1.5"
"author" "Jarhchief"
"website" "https://sites.google.com/site/swarmaddons/maps/extermination"
}
