The reason why it doesn't work is that these mods have purposely mispelled file names or mispellings in the vmt files for a different mod method (directly editing the pak01_dir.vpk method). If your mod doesn't work you will have to manually fix it. Install your mods and it should now load. Accept all folder merges.Īfter merging the folders, rename pak01_dir.vpk to pak01old_dir.vpk.

Select all the files from the extracted folder and paste it into the left4dead folder. Extract it to a different folder for now in the image below I am extracting it in a folder called _extractedVPK located in the left4dead folder. Hold down the control key and select all the folders on the right pane. If you open pak01_dir.vpk under a different name like pak01_backup_dir.vpk it will not extract properly! If the above location doesn't work or if you have installed Steam to a different location: Navigate to your Left 4 Dead folder (typically C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead) and in the left4dead folder, open pak01_dir.vpk. Once done downloading, open it up and you should see this screen.Ĭlick File on the toolbar and then Open in the dropdown menu. The difference between the installer and archive version is that the installer version will be installed to the system and require administrative rights while the archive version can be extracted and run directly without installing or requiring administrative rights. The link is used since the original website is unavailable. Extracting Pak01_dir.vpkīefore you can begin you will need GCFScape. I have found one that works and can be toggled on or off in case the game crashes or other issues appear.
