Change textures of Clone Trooper Survivors
By jαcεεツ
Okay, first you download the mod here[steamusercontent-a.akamaihd.net] and unsubscribe it from the Steam Workshop.

Then you download Crowbar from here[github.com]. Once downloaded extract 7Z file and open Crowbar.exe. Under the "Set Up Games" tab, select Left 4 Dead 2 in the uppermost field. Then go to the "Unpack" tab, select "Browse..." next to "Packages:" and navigate to the downloaded "myl4d2addons_clone trooper survivors.vpk" file and select it. Change "Output to:" to "Subfolder (of Package)" and hit "Unpack" at the bottom left.

You should now have the mod files inside a folder named "unpacked 0.xx". Now install VTFEdit from here[web.archive.org] and extract the "x64" folder.
Open "VTFEdit.exe" and select "File" -> "Open" and navigate here "[WHEREVER YOUR FILES ARE STORED]\unpacked 0.xx/materials/models/survivors/rng". Select "torso.vtf" and hit "Open". Now you should see the texture. Hit "File" -> "Export All" and export the texture anywhere OUTSIDE your "unpacked 0.xx" folder.

Now immediately select "File" -> "Import" and you should see a list of "torso_00_00_00.tga" and upwards. The numbers mean the following:

00 = 187th
01 = 212th
02 = 327th
03 = 442nd
04 = 501st
05 = Green Company
06 = Standard White
07 = Shocktroopers


Now select ALL (at least 2) legions you want in-game by holding Ctrl and Left-clicking the files and hit "Open". Select "OK" in the new window. Now click "File" -> "Save" and navigate to "[WHEREVER YOUR FILES ARE STORED]\unpacked 0.xx/materials/models/survivors/rng" again, select "torso.vtf" and hit "Save". When asked if you want to override the files hit "Yes". Now hit "File" -> "Open" again and select the "torso.vmt" file this time and "Open".

You'll see this code:

$frame 1000
$rand 0
$zero 0
$fh 500

"Proxies"
{
"EntityRandom"
{
"scale" "9.99"
"resultVar" "$rand"
}

"LessOrEqual"
{
"LessEqualVar" "$frame"
"greaterVar" "$rand"
"srcVar1" "$frame"
"srcVar2" "$fh"
"resultVar" "$frame"
}

}

Now just change the fat "9.99" to the number of different skins you have -0.01.
If you have 2 skins, put 1.99. If you have 3 skins, put 2.99 etc. and save the file.

Now repeat this for all the other VTFs and VMTs and make sure to import the same legions each time. If you got so far you can let me know and I'll explain the rest.

Ahh dont worry!
i've actually been working on it, i even made the light models, and i even figured it out how to get rid of the backpacks, and the other things (basically make every survivor just plane white clone trooper)

Heyy, sorry for not answering in time, I totally missed this comment. I'm glad you got it working though! :)

Can you do a more specific tutorial? i've done it with the Phase 1 Survivors but when i start the game, they have a solid black texture, any help?
