I played L4D from 6-th november, and I enjoyed it just the way it is. That means without "mods" or .cfg files added to the game.
Only 1 thing I didn't like it so much: weapon skins and animation. I played a lot of CS with other skins and sprites then default, and I was wondering that in L4D (being a Source game) we can change them. (In my opinion the dual pistols skin and animation sux. =(. )
Thanks

Yes, you can change the skins. You can do everything you can in CS:S, if not more.

Lately I've been quite satisfied with Valve's work on their original skins and whatnot. With CS:S I changed just about everything, but with TF2 and the upcoming L4D, I don't think I'll bother to download anything to try and "enhance" the look of it's original weapons and stuff. Personally, I found a lot of the skins and models on CS:S and DoD:S kind of cruddy and low rez. But I think every thing's coming out pretty solid and pretty now for the most part.

What I mean is that I want my pump-action shotgun in left4dead to look more
solid, and if I'll change the weapon skin on those dual pistol maybe I'll get a decent animation.

Yes.. Although for the weapon you would have to get the server to set a config file for it and possibly make a custom script.

I like the original skins as much as anyone else, but there are some really talented skinners out there. I'm sure someone's going to make something that'll catch my eye.

Hm... wouldn't it be rather easy to just use the models from CSS as skins for L4D? Like, replacing the M16 with an AUG or something?

Desert Eagles will probably be the first skins out even though I can't stand-em.

I just want someone to make some sort of random skin mod so we can get AK-47's and MP-5's and whatnot mixed up in it and have different weapons every time we play... will fit in with the Director well.

Also some WW2 weapons to showup CoD:WaW might be fun.

The CS skin pack:

Pistol -> Desert Eagle
Second Pistol -> Beretta
Uzi -> MP5 Navy
Pump-action shotgun -> the one from CS
Semi-automatic shotgun -> the one from CS
Hunting rifle -> AWM
M16 -> AK47 (or just leave it the way it is, nobody can tell the difference between an M16 and an M4)
Molotov -> Incendiary grenade (doesn't exist in CS, but whatev)
Pipe Bomb -> No change
Machine Gun -> No change

...I'd hit it.

I actually have never used custom skins in any game...ever!

I always enjoyed the content that came with it.

Hi. Thought I would use this thread. I have some trouble with a weapon skin. This is the one: http://www.fpsbanana.com/skins/56986

I have been told that one should work fine, both in sp and mp. But my game just crashes when it is done loading into a server. I did everything like the ReadMe file said. Still no luck. I this one possible to use? How do I get it working? If someone could take a look at the ReadMe file that would be great. :)

When I asked around I was told I had to wait for the sdk. Why would I have to to that?
