Description:

Warning: Without Extended Common Infected you will see a lot of errors.

Population template for custom maps. This is a population template for my Custom Map Nav Additions mod. It already has infected in logical places, but you can change it if you want. You Don’t NEED to Change it, it Works Fine By Itself.

Instructions: (!!!)
1. Download both workshop addons by subscribing to them and launching l4d2 once
2. Use GCFScape to open the "Population.txt Template" vpk found in /steamapps/common/Left 4 Dead 2/left4dead2/addons/workshop (it will be called "2532884715")
3. Extract the contents to your "addons" folder, and place them in a new folder called "custom-maps-population-scripts" (or name the folder whatever you want)
4. Inside "custom-maps-population-scripts" make sure you have the "scripts" folder, as well as the "addoninfo.txt" file
5. You can modify the populations inside the population.txt files to whatever you want, using any text-editor.
6. You will need to turn your "custom-maps-population-scripts" folder into a vpk — you can do this by going to /steamapps/common/Left 4 Dead 2/bin and finding "vpk.exe". Drag your folder over vpk.exe and it will create a vpk of your folder — make sure the vpk is in your addons folder.
7. Unsubscribe from "Custom Map Population Template" so that it will not conflict with the new mod you have created.

These addons will work in singleplayer and when you host a local server.
