Great job on the addon! They really fit together a lot better. Though please add mroe custom campaigns, these don't work on Fairfield Terror I think.

That looks like too much effort

After using this addon, my thought: Can you use this method instead of using campaign.txt file? This causes to conflict with other addons which changes the campaign.txt file

Thank you for making this addon! When I see 3 new special infected(Jockey, Spitter, Charger) on L4D campaigns it didn't fit the atmosphere well, but this mod addressed these problems :)

Damn, not exactly what I was hoping to hear but I'm not a modder (god forbid I tried once or twice) so I'm not gonna argue with that.

You could use the "All Campaigns" versions of these skins in my workshop. They don't use those .txt files (which make it so these skins appear only on L4D1 campaigns) so they shouldn't conflict. I'm not really sure how to get the .txt files to not conflict.

Hey Spruce what exactly does this mod change with the file its in? I'm asking because this mod is conflicting with another which is odd for a mod that should be a simple texture swap.

File missions/campaign10.txt collides in VPKs:
[Improved] Random Item Spawner (BETA)
L4D1 Style Specials (Collection)

these only work in the original L4D1 campaigns. You can download the "All Campaign" versions of these skins individually if you go to my workshop page.

do they work in ADON campaigns

This is still the coolest little detail mod out there.

Small issue, from a distance the textures look really grainy, like there's no mipmaps or whatever. Otherwise, a really nice addition that feels official.

plz collection for all campaigns c:

I think you should've taken out some scars and wounds because im pretty sure in l4d1 the special infected have less scars and shit like that

some of the things I say is somewhat speculative, but if you want to know more, visit here:

@Dune Jumper
Its done with addoninfo.txt and the mission files you'll see in the mission folder, L4D2 has a very unknown feature that lets you load a skin specific to only one map. Its seen in workshop addons like Hard Rain: Downpour and Energy Crisis

the addoninfo.txt file has:
[code]
addonContent_Campaign 1
addonContent_BossInfected 1
[/code]

With these keys, L4D2 treats this addon as that it provides a campaign and "boss infected" custom content, then it only loads the custom content in the "campaigns" it provides which is done by checking the mission file.

Hope this helped

How does the skin know you're playing a L4D1 campaign? Is it built into the game?

For some reason this mod conflicts with custom weapons base

you should make a more tan witch for the l4d2 campaigns

could you add mipmaps to these textures (box, none)? without them these textures look really jagged from a distance, especially at lower graphics settings

played no mercy earlier today and when i saw these alongside the l4d1 commons, i thought it was so cool, love the little details like this

Maybe you could incorporate this?

Just change textures to fit art style better.

A suggestion would be making the eyes completely white, as none of L4D1's infected had any pupils. The eyes are part of the base texture, so it shouldn't be that hard to change.

now we need non-ripped clothes

These fit really well.

Thanks man, I appreciate it. Congrats on TLS!

Black Hair: CHECK
Pale Skin: CHECK
Desaturated Blue Tint: CHECK

Now you just need a tad bit of baked grunge.

But still very nicely done

These are simple color corrections to the texture files. You can see the comparison photos in the description.

idk what did you do but it looks the same. only like shaders are changed.

cool

So this applies on any map that enables the l4d1 special infected?

while i like the colors, i'd like to see them actually look like less of a mutation from the first game, like say the jockey could be less hunched over and his cheeks would be less chewed-follow up i like this comment should change a few things other than that good mod

Lovely!

@Comrade Jockey, @Angry, perhaps in the future when I am more skilled at modeling and texturing. For now all I have planned is to remove/lessen the shininess of the Spitter's top, and maybe alter the Charger's clothes or give him hair.
