Why not delete the workshop subfolder and make it so all items from the L4D2 Steam workshop are added into the addons folder instead, wouldn't this solve all issues?

I got the same problem with my survival map ....
I think this is one of the reasons why people don't like to use the workshop to get maps + the search engine .

will this be fixed or I need to unsubscribe to all the addons I got ?

Hey , every time when I compile a map in hammer , all the addons start redownloading in game ...

I reinstalled steam + l4d2 + windows and is the same .

Thanks :D


1 hour later ...:)

that is so confusing ....

I do the snd_buildsoundcachefordirectory when I'm on the map or in the menu ?
I hate my life :))

can someone add me on steam and explain to me how this works ?

is not easy for me to understand from that tutorial because :
1. english is not my first language
2. there are no explications for why do I need to do this and that

sorry , I don't want to sound rude .

I usualy watch video tutorials because sometimes I want to improvise .

Hey , there is a bug in l4d2 that makes it imposible to add custom sounds on the maps

The sounds don't work because they aren't cached and cannot be loaded from vpk .

Can someone fix this please ? Because I'm making a map and I want to add some custom sounds .

sorry for typos ..

thanks , but it would be cool if someone could add me on steam and give me examples (remember I used to make maps for cs:go .... left4dead2 has some things that I don't even know what them do .)

Hey , I am a CS1.6/CS:S/CS:GO mapper and I want to make a cool survival map for l4d2 but I don't know how to make it survival .

can someone help me ?

add me on steam if you want to help me .

Sorry about typos .

I will make a survival map .. not an usual one :)

Hey Chet , can you invite my friend https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/id/jimsmaps/ , he wants to join the group because he is interested about new gamemodes and other cool things .

Thanks.
