Even the Tank falls to The Darkness!

Update I removed the mipmaps so the skin looks 100% high-res in-game now.
Ultimate Venom-Tank
This is my little idea I had when I saw Ultimate Venom. The reason I made him so purplse is because I was trying to base him off Ultimate Venom, who is bigger, more muscular, doesn't have much intellect like the tank, and is hulking like the tank. Ultimate Venom may lack the symbol, however, he does get it in the Ultimate Spider-Man game, plus the skin just felt empty without his tradermark symbol.

I hope you guys enjoy it, Me and FallDown have put effort into this release and we had to severly experiment with phong and bump maps to get the skin to look well.

Installation

  1. Extract the left4dead folder into: "steamapps\common\left 4 dead\"

  2. Open "whitelist.cfg" and add the following into the config: "add" "materials/models/..."

  3. Make a backup of "pak01_dir.vpk", then open the original with Notepad++.

Use the find function (Ctrl + F) to find:

$baseTexture "models\infected\hulk/Hulk01" $bumpmap "models\infected\hulk\Hulk01_normal" $phong 1

Replace with:

$baseTexture "models\infected\hulk/Hulk02" $bumpmap "models\infected\hulk\hulk03_normal" $phong 0

  1. Fire up L4D and Enjoy!

Notes: You can NOT edit the *.vpk's with the regular Notepad program, as L4D will crash on startup after doing so.

    I had to re edit the texture with vtfedit (turn into a tga then return to vtf) there was no normal map texture included so i only edited this line in the pak01dir : $baseTexture "models\infected\hulk/Hulk02" after thet, it worked just fine for me

    WHO?....and why should I care?

    I am also having the pink/black checkered box problem. I have followed the entire instructions, and yet I still have the issue. Is there any other way I can fix this problem?

    Or can anyone send me their pak01_dir.vpk file that contains the working venom lines.

    I'm jealous that I didnt think about this and do it first, because it is such a good idea.

    Good Job

    Although the head could maybe use alittle work.
