About this mod Machine translation
So while I was working on the Source model pack, I noticed something interesting about two props (the DoD crate and the HL2 vent). In the vmf file, some of the models are set up to use different looks built into the model.
Considering the possibility of using the original model when making the map, Valve decided to use its alternative appearance for the map.
This mod restores these unused variants to the game.
Now, the boxes in Dead Air will also use German wooden boxes.
Vents in Dead Air, Parish, and other maps will now have gray and dark gray variations
This is crate compatible.
It will only read back the German variant and will not overwrite the default texture.
There may be more models with different appearance settings in vmfs, but I haven't noticed or specifically checked.
Install & use Install: Left 4 Dead 2 addon (.vpk)
- Nearly all Left 4 Dead 2 custom content ships as .vpk files: unzip and copy the .vpk into the game's left4dead2/addons folder.
- Create the addons folder if it does not exist; content loads automatically on launch.
- The in-game Addons menu lets you review, enable and disable what is installed.
- A few packs or tools do not follow the .vpk flow — follow the bundled readme.
In multiplayer, the host and players need the same addons installed.
