No but for real, Classic "Beta" L4D1 Models for SFM (that work??) - Developers

Only about 3 people in the world have figured this out, apparently, and none of them have posted why or how to get around this little problem The classic L4D1 models that Splinks uploaded to L4D2 workshop and L4dmaps.com do NOT like showing up in SFM for whatever reason I've pasted the right files in models and materials... Nothing I've given the model it's very own directory and added it in the gameinfo, made it higher priority than l4d2's folder... Nothing If somebody's already figured out how to get around this, let me know asap, please? There are SFM's with these models in existence, it's possible... Somehow...

I'd also like to aquire this particular information.

Models for L4D don't work in SFM by default due to a mess-up by Valve where L4D updated the model format but not the header. Try opening the .mdl file in a hex editor (Notepad might work too, but I haven't tried it) and changing the first little bit of the file from "IDST1" to "IDST," without quotation marks.

I did not know about this tool. My sincere thanks!

Ahhh! [editline]5th November 2013[/editline] Changing the IDST causes the program to crash... I even tried IDST0, too... Comma don't work either... I'm using notepad++ somebody just punch me in the dick this is so impossible

Could somebody who has the knowledge be so nice and maybe make a pack to get them running in SFM? I dont know, if it doesnt take long or something, sure would help out a lot of people IMO, including me :v:!

That would be very nice, Beta Francis is cool but having the other survivors would complete the group.

[url]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=170465065[/url] my beta Francis for gmod has been out since like 1 or 2 days after the original release of the beta Francis, you could easily use an GMA unpacker to get the model and textures and use them in SFM

I think this thread is for the unreleased Beta Survivors, your model is awesome though.

Like, Zoey's eyes, Francis' beard, Louis' hair and Bill is all white.
