In order to install this add-on, you'll need to download two programs:

GCFScape[nemstools.github.io]
Notepad++[notepad-plus-plus.org]

Installation

Step 1:
  • Navigate to the Add-ons directory: \Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\addons\workshop.
  • Find 3323050906.vpk and open with GCFScape.
  • Drag and drop the transition folder into \Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2 (alongside left4dead2.exe).

Step 2:
  • Navigate to the left4dead2 directory: \Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2.
  • Find gameinfo.txt and make a backup copy.

Step 3:
  • Open gameinfo.txt with Notepad++.
  • Find SearchPaths. It will look something like this:

SearchPaths
{
Game update
Game left4dead2_dlc3
Game left4dead2_dlc2
Game left4dead2_dlc1
Game |gameinfo_path|.
Game hl2
}

  • Add a new line above update for the transition folder so it looks like this:

SearchPaths
{
Game transition
Game update
Game left4dead2_dlc3
Game left4dead2_dlc2
Game left4dead2_dlc1
Game |gameinfo_path|.
Game hl2
}

  • Be sure to save the changes and you're done!

This is essentially forcing the game to load this folder when it first launches.

Keep in mind that if the game updates itself or you verify the game files, you will need to make this change again as it would have defaulted back to the original version.



This was designed to go very well alongside Qude's Clean Transition, so the two borders at the top and bottom that would normally be present have not been modified.

If you like any of the add-ons in the screenshots, they're all in my personal collection of mods which you can fine here.

@Qude Sorry, I didn't know who created it since the addon was taken down (I only had the name). Thanks a lot, appreciate it!

@pizza -- I wasn't I'm afraid!

Hey just wondering, were you ever able to find the main addon for https://test-steamproxy.haloskins.io/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2968760446 ?

@apostel -- No problem mate! Glad you've got it working :tank:

Thanks for double checking. I appreciate it. I disabled my HUD mods as well and that was the issue
dingus  [author] 3 Sep, 2024 @ 10:49am 
@apostel -- Do you have any other add-ons that modify "../vgui/hud/ScalablePanel_bgMidGrey"

Looks as though it's using a different texture for the background but I've just checked and the code is correct so it can't be my add-on :health:
