How to install Left 4 Dead Skins

The process is rather complicated. At least in comparison to other steam games.

Step 1Go to any site where the skins are available for download.

My personal favourite is FPSBANANA. Find a skin you want and download it. For this, I will use this awesome skin for the Tank.

All you have to do is literally copy the "Materials" folder and place it the left4dead/left4dead directory. There is a models folder both in that directory and in the materials folder. ONLY worry about the materials folder and replace all that is asks to.

You shouldn't have to. When you edit the pak01_dir file, all you are doing is changing where the game searches your comp for the texture. I haven't ever had a problem with it.
