Zoey: Teen Angst: L4D

For L4D, for the actual Zoey.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To install this mod in L4D, you need a special text editor such as Notepad++ . Place the .vpk file in [Your L4D Folder]\left4dead\addons.

You need to then edit the names in pak01-dir.vpk in [Your L4D Folder]\left4dead. Make a copy of pak01-dir.vpk first, leave the copy there incase you want to uninstall. Open the actual pak01-dir.vpk in Notepad++. Press CTRL+F. Click the Replace tab, and replace ALL instances of each of the following (without the quotes):

"survivor_teenangst" -> "survivor_teenangsd"

"v_arm_teengirl" -> "v_arm_teengird"

"v_teenangst" -> "v_teenangsd"

Every time L4D is updated (hasn't been for a year now) and pak01-dir.vpk is changed, you need to make this change to the new pak01-dir.vpk to make the mod work again.

If your game crashes to desktop on loading a map, try extracting the files from the VPK with GCFScape, place them in their respective folders under "...left 4 dead\left4dead\" ... models... materials... etc (like installing a CSS skin), and remove the vpk from the addons folder. The pak01_dir.vpk edit still needs to be done if you do the loose files method.

To uninstall, revert these changes, OR delete pak01-dir.vpk and rename your old copy of pak01-dir.vpk (...Unless it is an obsolete version from an L4D update. If this happens, verify game cache. Verifying game cache will overwrite all normal game files with their stock versions, so be careful with sound mods).

UPDATED 7/26/11 -Added procedural bones, wrists should look better in most cases. -Fixed viewmodel arms animation weirdness (arms doing strange things during hunting rifle reload, autoshotgun reload), see above.

Update 2/14/12: -I haven't forgotten about this. -Slightly better elbows/knees/shoulders -Fixed weird thumb as best as I could without having the procedural bone (vrd file) compile junk for the thumbroot bone (nobody but valve has it and nobody knows wtf those numbers mean in vrd files).
