How to manually install "Revised Subtitles"
By Vox
This guide is all about showing how you can install my Left 4 Dead 2 addon, "Revised Subtitles." This is required as the workshop doesn't suffice for installation.

Comments
Locate the "workshop" folder
Head over to your game library and select Left 4 Dead 2









Select the cog on the far right, select "manage," then "browse local files"







This will take you to your game's main file directory. Here, go to "addons".






Your folder should have another folder in it called "workshop". Go to it, too.
Finding the addon
In the "workshop" folder, open addon "2818315524" with GCFScape or any other VPK unpacker tool.

Here, GCFScape will open. Go to update > resource, then select "subtitles_english.dat". Right click it, select "extract".
Replacing the subtitles
Now that you have the subtitles file, go back to the "Left 4 Dead 2" folder (NOT THE "left4dead2" FOLDER!) and go to the folder called "update"

Here, go to "resource" and replace the "subtitles_english.dat file in it
If you have Windows, you might be asked something like "There is a file already called subtitles_english.dat" and will ask if you want to replace it or not. Click "replace".
Boom-diah!
And, you're done! Apologies if you still cannot get the mod working, feel free to comment if you still have issues!

Ping 23 Jun @ 11:59pm

Hey, thanks for making this little guide!
I also got a feeling you're a really cool person, I stalked you a bit (by that I just mean I scrolled around your profile) and just because someone asked you politely for something, you went a step ahead and made an even more detailed thing for the person (I got such a way with words I know).
But yeah idk, it was just nice to randomly see such ocurrence. Hope you're having a good day and thanks again!

Soo i only need to change the "english" thing in this mod?
Vox  [author] 20 May @ 8:39am 
I'm not sure. There IS a line at the very top of the file that says "Language" "English" so make sure you also change that line into your new language
