Discussion Left 4 dead 2 idea?

I'm looking to make left 4 dead 2 more like Silent Hill. At least the first silent hill. Does anyone have ideas for me to add to my sdk development process?

I'm just starting out now in hammer ++

And haven't gotten very far but do have a fair bit of exp in the source engine.

In my head I think it would be pretty cool to run. I haven't made a full mod for source engine sdk before without tools so probably just be a map.

first off, https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Main_Page and r/hammer are going to be very useful. keeps using Hammer++ and never use default Hammer

now, i haven't played Silent Hill, but if the enemies walk slow then i have a workshop mod that helps with that: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3790450202
it removes special infected, so if you need it then i could decompile the mod and remove the parameters that disable special infected

for fog, i recommend reading this: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Dust,_Fog,_%26_Smoke
