Back 2 Vanilla and conflicting mods
Most of the mods will probably conflict with Back 2 Vanilla.
Make sure B2V is on the bottom of the in-game add-ons list and don't worry about the red text.
Turn it temporarily off to check if other add-ons don't conflict with each other.

Or get B2V2 from GameMaps, so you don't have to worry about that.

Reloading fonts
1. Move B2V (2255875095.vpk) from "workshop" to "addons" folder
2. Unsubscribe from the add-on
3. Paste this into your autoexec:
mat_setvideomode X Y 1; mat_setvideomode X Y 0
X = desired screen width (e.g. 1920)
Y = desired screen height (e.g. 1080)

Swap 1 and 0 if you're playing in the windowed mode.

Hosting a local server
Developer console
Fix for "Server is enforcing consistency" error
Enabling add-ons on your local server

TLDR: Find addonconfig.cfg, change all values in it from 1 to 0, save, open the game, put sv_consistency 0 in the console, create a local server.

Additional tags: legacy removal remove reverse rollback older old version 2.1.5.5

your not gonna believe me when i say this but i tried a game_sounds_?.txt so i guess its most likely not possible

@Cody | MusicLockerStudio Idk. Maybe with game_sounds_*.txt using rndwave? It won't work in a vpk addon though. Or maybe with vscript?
Cody | MusicLockerStudio 12 Aug @ 6:30am 
and is it possible to make each left 4 dead 1 survivor do all 16 of the left 4 dead 2 survivors falling screams because i need to do that for the addon aswell
