How to install

If this is the only skin you are using, you can just use the files I included in the .rar, if not follow the instructions below:

1) Go to C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead\left4dead and put the materials folder in there.

2) Now, look for «whitelist.cfg» and add «add» «materials/models/…» under the line // Additional files/directories to allow. Be to make a copy of this in case something goes wrong.

3) Now, look for pak01_dir.vpk in the same folder. Open it using Notepad ++ to open it. Make sure you backup the original pak01_dir.vpk file.

4) When you opened up pak01_dir.vpk with Notepad++, press Ctrl+F to find this line:

$baseTexture «models\v_models\Weapons\pistol/V_Pistol_Reference»

Replace «V_Pistol_Reference» with «V_Pistol_Reference2» and save. There should be 2 of these lines you find, you have to replace both.

If you don"t want the LAM (in simple terms the flashlight) on it, add these 2 lines after the $basetexture line, make sure to do it at both $basetexture lines like stated above.:
$alphatest 1
$translucent 1
