L4AddonEnforcer

An addon installer for Left 4 Dead 2 that will let you use them on official servers.

GUI

Since v0.3.0 there's a PuG mode switch (on/off) to temporarily restore the vanilla backup, to let you play on servers that impose file consistency. As well as a button to completely and irreversibly reset the current gameinfo to the default.

CLI Usage

Installation

L4AddonEnforcer -f <path to the *.vpk> -n <name>

-f corresponds to the original VPK addon file that will be copied (as pak01_dir.vpk) to the later created addon directory.

-n corresponds to the common name of the addon, a directory that will be named after, and an entry in the gameinfo.txt. You can name it whatever you like, to later know what that addon is.

Example (linux): ./L4AddonEnforcer -f /home/user/Downloads/ion_vocalizer.vpk -n vocalizer
Example (windows): L4AddonEnforcer.exe -f C:\Users\User\Downloads\ion_vocalizer.vpk -n vocalizer

The same way you can update an already installed addon.
