Get the L4D(1) intro to play before the L4D2 intro

[Zetnus]

I found a neat trick to get the L4D Intro to play before the L4D2 intro plays. All you need to do is replace the Valve logo with the L4D intro.

Instructions:

If you own L4D and currently have it installed:
>Go to \SteamApps\common\left 4 dead\left4dead\media and take a copy of l4d_intro.bik and rename it to valve.bik
>Go to \Steam\SteamApps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\media
>Rename the original valve.bik into valve_backup.bik or something like that (or put it into another folder for storage)
>Take your new valve.bik (the L4D intro) and place it into that media folder
>Enjoy!

If you don’t currently have L4D installed:
>Download the .bik here:

>Proceed as above

If you have any idea how to have the backgrounds and music to L4D1 instead of the L4D2 backgrounds when in the main menu, I would love that :D.

Surely there's a L4D1 menu music addon for L4D2?

For the backgrounds:

If you own L4D and currently have it installed:
>Go to \SteamApps\common\left 4 dead\left4dead\media and copy l4d_background.bik and/or l4d_crashcourse_bg.bik and/or l4d_lighthouse_bg01.bik


>Go to \Steam\SteamApps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\media
There are 5 backgrounds named l4d2_background01.bik to l4d2_background05.bik
You can replace any or all of those with the L4D versions. (I personally replaced all of them with the lighthouse). Make sure to rename the replacement to match the file it is replacing.

For Music:

You could copy the files manually, but there is surely an addon for that.
(The reason that you have to do the bik files for the videos and backgrounds manually is because it won't work to have them as addons).

It’s a pity that valve officially didn’t include video from the l4d1 into l4d2
