INSTEAD, DOWNLOAD THE FILE HERE AND FOLLOW THE INSCRUCTIONS

There's a .txt file inside this compacted file explaining the reason I had to upload the mod this way, please consider reading it if you wonder why you have to apply the mod on the old school way.

You can watch the video annexed to this mod with the screenshots up there if you want to have a visual reference on how to install everything properly. If you are someone who is already familiar with oldschool modding, follow the instructions down below!

- HOW TO INSTALL \ UNINSTALL


IF YOU KNOW HOW TO OPEN THE ROOT FOLDER OF YOUR GAME, YOU CAN SKIP THIS PART


• Open your Steam
• Go to "Library"
• Find "Left 4 Dead 2"
- If you find it in your game-list on the left, right click it
- If you see it on the main page instead, underneath the banner of the game, click on the gear icon
• Go to Properties > Local Files > Click "Browse"


READ FROM HERE IF YOU ALREADY KNOW HOW TO FIND THE ROOT FOLDER OF YOUR GAME


• Copy "left4dead2" folder and paste it into your game's folder (Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2)
• Press "Yes" when asked to overwrite other files
• Open Left 4 Dead 2
• Go to Options > Keyboard/Mouse > Allow Developer Console > ENABLE
• Press ' or ~ to open your console (if it doesn't open, check other possibilities online)
• Type:

snd_updateaudiocache

and press Enter or click "Submit"

• Wait a few seconds or a minute (It might take a longer time if you have tons os mods)
• It may require for you to restart the game after this if the mod still doesn't loop properly


- TO UNINSTALL MY MOD


To uninstall my mod, you have the quick & manual, and not-so-quick & automatic.

For Quick & Manual:

• Repeat all the process of the instalation until the "Copy 'left4dead2' folder" part.
• Instead of copying the "left4dead2" of the main folder, copy the one that is inside the "Backup" and paste it into your game's folder to overwrite my modded songs for the original files.
• Repeat all the process until the end.

For Not-So-Quick & Automatic:

• Find "Left 4 Dead 2"
- If you find it in your game-list on the left, right click it
- If you see it on the main page instead, underneath the banner of the game, click on the gear icon
• Go to Properties > Local Files > Click "Verify integrity of game files..."
• Wait for the process to finish
• Open the game, open Developer Console and type:

snd_updateaudiocache

• Wait for the process to finish and done! Restarting the game may be needed.

While you have your file open, Go to Tools -> Markers -> Delete All Markers. This will remove that "M0" marker. After that, either choose "Save As'' or ''Save'', put the new "contusion.wav" into the appropriate folders (I use a custom path for it, yours would probably be the default location for the sound) , and then launch Left 4 Dead 2.
After that, type "snd_rebuildaudiocache", wait for the Console to open, and write "_restart". If the game doesn't properly restart, simply open up the game, and launch a Versus match. If all is perfect, the "Charging" sound should play only once, get properly cut off at the end, and then "mortification.wav" should play its full 25-ish second duration with zero crackling / static and with seamless loops.

Hope this helps! :csgostar:

To anyone reading this in the future - You might encounter a potential bug where the Charger's "Charging" sound might constantly loop over and over again until you write 'stopsound' in console.

NO MORE, I SAY, for I have found the solution after 7 hours of being a modding newbie.
Programs REQUIRED to fix the solution:
1. Wavosaur
that's it.

Once you've downloaded and extracted the program, use it to open the sound "contusion.wav". Then, in the timeline you should see that, at the beginning, there is a Marker with the label "M0". That is the marker that is telling the Source Engine to loop this audio file from beginning to end.

Hello again. and thanks love your mod btw keep cooking :GhostFlowerHappy:

Hmmmmm.....I don't know coding properly at all...all I learned was through YouTube videos and there were almost none teaching how about those stuff works, I've even read Valve's tutorial while making this...
I don't know exactly how to fix, but I think this happened to me once as well, it's something that doesn't happen a lot.
Usually it's conflicts with other mods that also changes sounds, because this one requires "vanilla installing method" which literally replaces files with the same names in the game's folder instead of directing the game to a new folder with new files while keeping the original files intact.
I'm terrible to describe stuff but I hope I managed to explain stuff xD
If I find solutions for this bug in the future, I'll try to fix that!

Thanks for the compliment! This game really does deserve heavy metal soundtracks so I decided to do it my own for the community :D

hey, installed it again (the same way) and it seemed to work fine this 2nd time, thanks for the response though! :PuroAmazed:

Hmmm, this is strange...I would say that maybe there are other mods that the game is also trying to update their audio cache when you run the command, or maybe running the command itself could be demanding on your PC. My other Metal addons conflicts but works because of the folder structure...the way I made the folder makes the game think it's conflicting when it's not...I do look forward for fixing this soon!
The conflicting also shouldn't be a problem for your FPS, usually it's just the game saying "hey, those may not work/make the game crash", but so far I didn't see much people experiencing crashes with all the mods turned on :)
My last guess would be that maybe running console commands in your computer can be very demanding...like, as a whole, because it does changes main aspects of the game script-wise.
You can still use the songs without the command but they won't loop properly :(
