L4D Mapping: Create a Custom Movie Poster and VPK Part 3/3 - Video Tutorial
Notes:
Compile your finished map and located 2 files.
One is .bsp file and .nav file. They can be found in
C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\left 4 dead\left4dead\maps
Copy and paste these two files inside your maps folder that we created in the beginning of the tutorial.
We now need to create two text files
addoninfo.txt
mapname.txt --> missions folder
Use notepad or text editor ofyour choice and create these two files.
addoninfo.txt gets placed inside the root folder.
The content of addoninfo.txt
Also you can view the content of the addoninfo.txt on Valve's Wiki page.
mapname.txt, to be placed inside missions folder. Avoid naming this file mission.txt
The content of swisshotel.txt
Also you can view the content of the mission file.txt on Valve's Wiki page.
Go through both of these files very careful changing every entry that you need for your map to work properly.
Double check to make sure.
Now, lets create a vpk file.
Navigate to:
C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\left 4 dead\bin\vpk.exe
and create a desktop shortcut of the vpk.exe by right-mouse click and Send to Desktop as Shortcut.
Take your folder with all our files that we created and drag it over to vpk.exe shortcut.
You now have .vpk file created
Double click on the mapname.vpk to install.
Go inside the game and test.
