[Default Font] Semi-Transparent Developer Console and Server Browser

“Oh no, my eyes!”

This thing will change the server browser and developer console to semi-transparent. Just subscribing is not enough, you need to show your skills and do a few things.

The main priority was to keep the default font and give the scheme a different look. Use it with default font, or it will conflict with custom fonts.

L4D1 Font Version




This method is easier than the second method and causes bugs in several parts of the user interface. This method is more reliable if we compare it in terms of reliability.


1) Subscribe to this add-on.

2) Launch the game for the add-on file to download to the game files and then quit the game after the add-ons have been loaded at the main menu.

3) Unsubscribe from this add-on.

4) Go to Left 4 Dead 2 game files.

5) Go to the location below and find the file "2584876081.vpk".

6) Move the vpk file to the location below.

7) We need to create a file named "autoexec.cfg" at the location below.
If you don't know how to create an 'autoexec.cfg' file, watch this video here. If you have already created this file, you do not need to create it again.

8) Paste the following command into the autoexec.cfg file.
If you're playing in borderless fullscreen, paste this.

If you have a resolution other than 1920 1080 above, replace it with your own game resolution.
Done.



This method is harder than the first method but does not cause any bugs. Generally, players hesitate to use this method because it makes changes to the game files but the game uses and knows this method, so it's a legit method.

The parts marked with a red box indicate in which location the steps should be performed.

1) Subscribe to this add-on.



2) Launch the game for the add-on file to download to the game files.
- Then quit the game after the add-ons have been loaded at the main menu.




3) Unsubscribe from this add-on.


4) Go to the game files of Left 4 Dead 2.



5) Create a new folder here as shown below.




6) Give the folder any name you want, but don't give it a long name and please use english characters.
- I named my folder as "fontscheme".



7) Find the file "2584876081.vpk".
- You don't need the add-on image file, you can delete it.



8) Move your add-on file to the folder you created.



9) Open the folder you created and change the name of the add-on file to "pak01_dir".
- You have to name it to "pak01_dir" or it will not work.



10) Find and open the "gameinfo.txt" file from the location specified below.



11) After opening the "gameinfo.txt" file, move the scrollbar to the bottom.
- You will see a section in the file like the one below.



12) In order for the add-on to work, you will need to write the name of the folder you created in step 6.
- I named my folder as "fontscheme".
- So the file now looks like:



For Example:
- Let's say you named the folder as l4d1font, you will need to rename it as l4d1font instead of fontscheme in the part I specified above in the image.
- So like this:



13) After completing step 12, save and close the "gameinfo.txt" file.
Done.

If you're using an English (US) input language, the input indicator will not appear as in the image above. Actually, that's exactly the case, it's invisible and that's normal.


If you're using an input language other than English (US), the input indicator looks like the image above. This is the original case for those with different input language.


This issue, officially occurs when the resolution changes during the game, both in the chat box and the developer console. Unfortunately, the first method above is causing the input indicator to appear cut off.
