The developers build is public accessible and is located at a subversion repository.
Lambda Wars is now on it's own Steam AppID, which means you need access to it on your Steam account. To still play it as an Alien Swarm mod, make the following two modifications after checking out the repository:
- Open gameinfo.txt and change "270370" to "630"
- Open steam.inf and change "appID=270370" to "appID=630"
Before trying out the developers build please note
- Keep everything related to the developers build in this thread

- Right click the folder again and press SVN Update
- In Steam add "-override_vpk" to the Launsh Options. (right click "hl2wars" -> Properties)
- The first time you launch the mod you may not see the menu, because it generates the sound cache the first time you launch the game.
Alternatively you can download revision 2368 from here: http://www.hl2wars.com/download/hl2wars ... rev2368.7z
Then extract it into your sourcemods folder and press SVN Update (using TortoiseSVN). This will save you from having to download all files one by one through the svn update process (might be slightly faster).
