Custom Name Change (Left 4 Dead 2)

Custom mod I made so that people could easily change the name of their custom character replacement mods. This mod can also be used by people without custom character replacements.

This is a VERY simple mod to use, but it must be set up via the instructions in the video.

You MUST watch the video to know how to use this mod.

You MUST remove the 'resource' folder from ALL your VPK files for this mod to work properly. This mod should be the only one with a 'resource' folder. I explain why and how to do this in the video. This is a VERY simple process.

Pros

- Accurate Instructions - Rename to the skin model - Makes the game less quirky - Very easy to use if you get the hang of it.

Cons

- Deletion of all resource files of the VPK files (didnt do it) - Takes a while to understand or to see the faults

Hard to describe but your finding for this is very impressive. I think deleting the resource files is a bit too time consuming, I just set the priority level.

Pros

Excellent - nice description. After watching the video a few times I was able to do this myself. I am not at all an expert on computers - I know MS Word, PowerPoint and Excel, and nothing at all about modding. This video made it possible to modify some of my vpks files.

Cons

This worked brilliantly on my PC - but when I imported the vpk files to my Mac it refused to work. Any ideas on that? On one file (the circular sniper scope) I tried to rename it but the name still won't apply. Very very small cons, though.

I know nothing of modding or game-mapping - would love to, but it all seems too technical and I don't have much time to give to it. This video was just the right length, and gave real instructions on how to do this yourself. Thanks - this video is much better than most! I could actually make multiple "name change" add ons with differing names, and apply them as I like (on PC). You have to quit out of the game and got back in to reset the menus. Any idea if a particular skin (say the million Rochelle skins I have) could be re-assigned to any other characters? Is that too tough for an novice like me to do? Or if it is simple to put in custom icons for characters?
