also if anyone get Error code: 2 try to restart your computer and if it doesnt work its because its porn and it needs to have "R18" in the description and the title

you mean finding vpk.exe on steamapps/common/Left4Dead2/bin or common/Left4Dead2/left4dead/bin then put a shortcut in the desktop and dragging the folder into the shortcut, I did it, I just want for future people who read the guide to understand better

folder name = *YOUREMODNAME*

ЧАРУ ДАЛИ ГАНДАМ [author] 20 Sep, 2021 @ 1:28pm

hey Nobody, that means drop youre folder on VPK programm. Simple drop it by mouse :)

hey thanks for your guide but what does that mean; 6.6 Place youre "folder name" on VPK (you can find this program into l4d2 folder)

Perform a test in a resolution of 256x256 and if full load but looks very pixelized

ЧАРУ ДАЛИ ГАНДАМ [author] 17 Sep, 2019 @ 2:32am

im recommend keep 64x64 , but you can try use 240x240 (maybe u cant see whole img , but thats should work)
