How to use l4d1 characters as the playable survivors in l4d2 hammer (L4D2)

I tried forcing the position and named them Bill Zoey etc, but I keep getting the l4d2 survivors when I run the map... Any kind of help is appreciated!

you need to replace the mdl playermodel files from L4D with L4D2, and they will only work after their bones / animations have been re-rigged for L4D2 which is easier said than done.

You only need to set up a mission file for your map/campaingn, and set the survivor_set setting to 1, and it will spawn the original survivors instead.
