brave light menu movie

brave light background movie

Movies and music played in the menu are handled separately by the game.

This means that if you replace the movie with a custom video that also has sound, the original menu music will still play in the background.

These instructions show you how to replace the original movie files and how to delete the original menu music.

You need GCFscape to open VPK files in this mod. Use this link to download it:

When problems arise with l4d 2, one can usually resolve the issue by verifying the game's cache files.

Please note that when doing this, files that have been deleted or replaced by other CUSTOM files are actually re-downloaded.

Therefore, each time you verify your cache files, you must follow the installation instructions I describe below again. It's unfortunate and annoying, but it's what it is.

-Installation instructions-

• Unzip the bik file "brave shine.bik" to your hard drive. Do this by right-clicking on the bik file in the right box when you use GCFScape to open a VPK file. Press "Extract".

• Go to the folder where the background movie is saved: "common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\media".

• In the media folder you can find 5 background movies: "l4d2_background01.bik" and so on, "l4d2_background05.bik".

• Cut and paste these 5 bik files to where you want. These files will become your backup!

• Copy "Brave Light" and paste it into the media folder.

• Make 4 more copies of the file so that you have a total of 5 bik files.

• Rename the file to the default name, which is: "l4d2_background01.bik", blah, blah, "l4d2_background05.bik"

• Go to "common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\sound\music".

• Within the music folder, cut and paste the folder named "l4d2" to the location where you want to keep it as a backup. This is the folder containing the menu music,

So you want to delete that folder from your game's folder structure.

• Launch the game to watch and listen to the new menu movie.
