Description
Custom mod I made so that people could easily change the name of their custom character replacement mods. This mod can also be used by people without custom character replacements.

This is a VERY simple mod to use, but it must be set up via the instructions in the video.

You MUST watch the video to know how to use this mod.

NOTE: I'll be working on an easier to use instructional video for the Steam Workshop version.

For those of you that don't know, the mods you downloaded from the workshop are located here:
Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead 2\left4dead2\addons\workshop

Steam Workshop Version Instruction Video:
[working on a new video]

doesn't seem like this works anymore, and neither does changing names in general seem to work.
Deep shame is brought by the last stand.

Go to steam, steamapps, common, Left 4 Dead 2, addons, workshop and find the vpk name 148720126.vpk extract the root folder then find the resource folder inside then there will be a txt file called closecaption_english.txt open it in there you will find the names of the survivors choose which survivor to change the name then grab the root folder go to bin and find something called vpk then drop the root folder in the vpk, if you do it the root folder will turn into a vpk file then put it in addons but not in workshop and is done. btw you need l4d2 authoring tools so the vpk file appears in the bin :P

this is working just download the l4d2 authorizing tools then create shortcut on the desktop called "vpk'. Then drag the custom name change.vpk on it and it's extracted into a folder. just open it then open the script folder you can see the note you can edit the survivors name. If you already done changing their names, drag the folder again on vpk
