Just to be sure here.... the .vpks go in the "addons" folder right? Or the root folder? I have all of this installed on my server - not on my local machine.

Yes, all .vpk files go into the addons folder. If you can use the cheat "give thrower", then you know Total Melee Unlocker and the Flamethrower vpk are working. Are you trying this on an official campaign?

I was on multiplayer versus. Thank you for your help.

I could get this working on all L4D2 and L4D1 campaigns however it would need to use particles that already exist within L4D2, connecting clients would be able to see flames and such....let me look into this...

Boris007 I give you a Woot, Bravo and a Well Done for the Flamethrower. I had some doubt's a first on the Trapped map the first round. However,in the second round it just was there. I was able to use it and change weapons very weel. Nicely done Boris007....

Well I did everything and it doesnt work. does the flamethrower work on the official campaigns like Dead Center?

or only on custom maps.

and how can you edit pak01_dir.vpk?

Hello, why can't anyone update it and can it be used on the servers? Or can it only be used on custom maps?

[xserg1x]

It can used on server and official map ok with Melee Spawn Control.
and it need create particles manifest with all maps (for example c1m1_hotel_particles.txt) and download it to clients

PHP Code:

particles_manifest
