Left4Dead - Weathered Louis by UncleRage



Unlike my Static Age Zoey, Weathered Louis uses mostly modified Valve textures.  I added hair, beard, scars, dirt, grime and general disastisfaction. to both the louis_head.vtf and color.vtf.  Bumpmaps have not been modified (no real need).

To install:

Drop the left4dead contents inside your .../Left4Dead/left4dead/ directory (i.e. if your game is installed into directory "Left4Dead" on drive "D", you'd put the contents into the "left4dead" directory INSIDE the parent "Left4Dead". - D:/Left4Dead/left4dead..."

I've included two versions of the head texture.  One with facial scars and one without.  So, you'll need to decide which you want and add that "louis_head2.vtf" texture to the ".../Left4Dead/left4dead/materials/models/survivors/manager" directory.

You'll find the two texture directories inside: ".../survivors/louisheads/" directory. One is marked "scars_no" the other is "scars_yes".  Just copy and paste the .vtf from the appropriate directory.

I'm currently working on Louis' speech script.  When done, I'll add that as an update.  It's rather tedious to test and I'm more motivated to start the next skin (Bill) -- so that'll probably be a bit down the road.

Alright, Louis now has the original, Valve coloured, darker clothing.  He's also got new lighter (blue shirt, khaki pants) clothing.  The lighter set is a complete retexture (pants, shirt and tie) and includes identical markings, hand prints and rips to the darker texture.

I've also updated the louis_head_normal map to include texture for the hair, beard and scars.

So, this is pretty much a two for one special.  =D

Okay, the contents are as follows:

The .../louisheads remains the same (well, I've added a new normal_map to augment the scars, beard and hair).
In addition, you'll now find a .../louisclothes/dark  AND .../louisclothes/light  directory.  Pick the one you want.

If this seems confusing... keep it simple.  Both the "dark" and "light" directory contain a fully working copy of the new Louis with facial scars.  So, drop the "manager" directory inside of the one you want (dark or light clothing) into your .../Left4Dead/left4dead/materials/models/survivors directory.  If you want to change out the facial scars, grab the two files in the "scars_yes" or "scars_no" directories and chuck them into the .../Left4Dead/left4dead/materials/models/survivors/manager directory.  Overwrite all, load and play.

Okay, there you go.
