Anything But

Well recently we have all been flying through campaigns and though valve have done their part, it would seem that we are not yet satisfied with the amounts of heads and little giblets flying around in the room.

For the lack of an actual add-on manager I have come to the following steps to enable us all to have a consistency across the group when it comes to maps/mods/campaigns.

You will need the following:
Jdownloader: http://jdownloader.org/
A LFDmaps account: http://www.l4dmaps.com/

Once you have those elements you are set to go.

The basic steps to getting the content unmonitored is to do the following:

1) Browse all LFD2 content on the site here: http://www.l4dmaps.com/browse.php?maps=l4d2
2) Make sure that you have Jdownloader installed and configured to your desires i.e: folder to store downloads.
3) Using Firefox which you can get from here http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/ Open each download in a new tab.
4) Be sure to have your Jdownloader set to monitor the clipboard activity.
5) On each tab you have opened click the download now button.
6) This will display a list of mirrors from where you must right click on the free mirror and select the “copy link location”.
7) Once you have done this. Confirm that in Jdowloader it has added the link under the “Link Grabber” tab.
8) Once you have created a list of all the content you wish to download simply click on the “continue with all tab.
9) This will add all your content to the queue for downloads.
10) Once your downloads are complete you will need to add the “.rar” extension to the end of the file name. Be sure to have this step completed as the download manager does not add it for you.
11) Unzip to any directory you want.
12) Copy all “.VPK” files to the following folder: (Drive):\(where steam is installed)\ \Steam\SteamApps\common\left 4 dead 2\left4dead2\addons\
13) Once you have them there. Just double click each file to confirm installation of the add-ons.
14) Remove any you do not wish to have.
15) To disable any mods while in game. Navigate to Extras>Addons and then uncheck undesired.

And that is all you have to do get your mods rolling 

Yes you also can do this with any other download manager. However, you can share a Container from any others. Not to mention. This app rocks!

I am working on getting a container list with all the maps that I currently have to share with the group.

Please post any maps you wish to have added to the list in the comment section.

Good head hunting!
