Thread: Swapping left 4 dead characters?

Hi I'm a noob at modding and I'm wondering how you swap l4d2 characters for l4d1 characters? I just like the first 4 better.

Is there an easy way to do it? I have both games. I tried putting the first games character skins in the second game character folder but it just crashed the game so i have no idea what I'm doing.

Yeah, there's a nice easy way to do it...

L4D2 replacement of the survivors (L4D2 Mods) - L4Dmaps.com

Sign up, download the file, unzip and place the .vpk into your addons folder..

(C:\program files) \Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead 2\left4dead2\addons\

Start the game and away you go!


Any problems, let us know... L4DMaps is awesome for mods & campaigns etc, go have a good browse around!

Thanks, Idk why I was trying to mess with those other files. Soo good news is I'm getting the hang of it/they're starting to work.
I decided to just change two characters. I Swapped Nick for Leon and that seemed to work. Then I swapped Rachel for Zoe, and it seemed to work.

But then I added Teen Angst Zoe mod ... and now Zoe is invisible. >_<

Is there something special I need to do for that mod? Or is adding two Zoe mods causing it, if so how do I get around it?
Because after that I tried adding the angst zoe mod without adding the other and it didn't work.
