[list][b]Step 1 : Getting the L4D models and materials to Gmod[/b]
-[url=http://blog.gib.me/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/extractpackage3.zip]Download and launch Gibbed's .VPK Extractor.[/url]
-Click on "Extract" and browse to your Left 4 Dead folder (steamapps/common/left 4 dead/left4dead)
-Select "pak01_dir.vpk"
-Now, select the folder you want the files to get extracted in. I'd suggest you to make a new folder.
-Click on OK and wait for it to finish.

When it's done, browse to the folder in wich you extracted the files. You should see a models folder, open it.

-[url=http://www.mediafire.com/?nndz2ynokmq]Download this .bat file[/url], it will fix the files so they work in the Source Engine 14 (Garry's Mod Engine)
-Put it in the models folder and launch it.
[highlight]-If the bat file open notepad instead of a cmd : just open it with notepad, "Save As" and rename it "vtxfixer.bat" (Thanks GoldenBullet)[/highlight]
-Wait for the .bat to fix the files.
-When it's done, just put the Models, Materials and Sound files to your Garrysmod folder.
-???
-PROFIT![/list]

-Shiny zombies : [url=http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=56957]Download the garrysmod.org zombie pack[/url], or just fix the .vmt by yourself. (i'm not going to explain how, either you know how to do it, or you don't, and it may fuck up everything)

-Wireframe ropes : delete the "cable" folder in garrysmod/materials

-Visible area_portals : I forgot to delete some of them, since the compiling takes waaaaaaay too long, you're going to have to hide them by yourself.[/list]

[coolguyfourteen]

ohhh shiiiii.....

[Hairybastard]

So, where can I meet up and have sex with you? :D

[headshotter]

Pau, France, a street named "LaCroix"
I am waiting for you. :3

[Misao]

Cool! What I like the most about the port is the van actually works, although I still have to extract the sound.

Also the only thing I've got wrong about the map is that I see white wires hanging from the walls.

[David1021]

[jason278]

HOLY SHITA! Awesome work indeed. Now I just gotta wait for the fucking L4D model pack finishes installing

[theusaokay]

Holy fucking dog shit!

Not going to release a No Mercy map in a while. Do not ask me why.
For now i'll focus on Dead Air and Death Toll.

I extracted all the files, and put the .bat file in the models folder, but you said "run it". What do I run? L4d?

[headshotter]

Run vtxfixer.bat.

[TacoNinja]

[QUOTE=headshotter;16563832]Run vtxfixer.bat.[/QUOTE]

its just a text file for me...im not opening it in notepad, is there a way to run it normally?

[headshotter]

Weird, it should open a cmd.
So, try this :
-Open a new cmd windows. (search "cmd" on vista, or execute "cmd" on XP)
-When it's open, select the drive the models are in by typing this : "E:" (change "E" to your drive letter)
Press ENTER

- Now, get on the models folder by typing this : "cd folderdirectory". Example : "cd Program Files\steam\l4dmodels\models"
Press ENTER

- Now, open the cmd by typing this : "open vtxfixer.bat"

Well, it all worked up until the VERY last step. When i type "open vtxfixer.bat", I get a message that says ""open" is not recognized as an external or internal command, operable program or batch file"

I've tried "run", too, same thing...

[headshotter]

Use "start" instead of "open" then.

[TacoNinja]

[QUOTE=headshotter;16564241]Use "start" instead of "open" then.[/QUOTE]

well, now it says it can't find the file...I checked the path, and the file name...I feel extremely stupid

[headshotter]

"start vtxfixer.bat"
If it doesn't work, then "start vtxfixer"

[TacoNinja]

[QUOTE=headshotter;16564312]"start vtxfixer.bat"
If it doesn't work, then "start vtxfixer"[/QUOTE]

"Windows cannot find 'vtxfixer'. Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again." I've tried both file names (vtxfixer and vtxfixer.bat) would it matter if I changed the name of the .bat file and try ti run it, or does the name matter.

EDIT:

Well, It doesn't look like that worked...im gonna check the path again...

EDIT: maybe I have a corrupt file or something, it doesnt work...

[headshotter]

Yep, check the path again, you can also try changing the name. There is nothing else i can do. Ask google, maybe he will be able to help you. ;)

meh, yea, apparently theres a whole complicated process that involves so much I don't know about, I'll just attempt to recreate it with hammer (unsuccessfully, since i can hardly map)

[jason278]

Taconinja, just install technopath's L4D model pack. Headshotter, if people are having issues like taco, just link them here [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=773145[/url]

[Meknes]

You did a wonderful job on this and I thank you very much.

No it won't work. This pack does not include the materials and sounds. The only way to get them working is the way i explained in the main post.

Also taco, that's not a map problem, that's a windows problem. If you find a way to get this .bat working, then everything will be just fine.

[jason278]

Really? I installed that and I had no prob

[H11]

Oh.....god....give me your babies

[Kuiper]

Isnt it the other way around?

[headshotter]

[QUOTE=jason278;16573474]Really? I installed that and I had no prob[/QUOTE]

Oh, well, didn't work for me.
I edited the thread.

[QUOTE=Hunterdnrc;16574376]Oh.....god....give me your babies[/QUOTE]

NO WAI! >:-(

[hiyougami]

Woah o_o I would so download this if I had the hard drive space to get out my L4D content.
Of course, L4D doesn't work on my card. I want a new PC just so I can play this, awesome!
