TF2 Steampipe - How to install custom files on Windows

Have questions or need help? Add me on Steam: http://www.steamcommunity.com/id/w0lfschild vpk tool for OSX: https://sourceforge.net/projects/vpkosx/ Just a short video of how to install custom files in the new SteamPipe version of TF2. Custom files includes pretty much everything custom: Skins, HUDs, Sounds, Configs, etc... This video is not extremely in depth and assumes you already know how to do things like: - Extract from a .zip or .rar file - Find the path of a TF2 file if it is not provided - Troubleshoot general issues If you have question feel free to ask. HUD used in this video: https://github.com/raysfire/rayshud Valve VPK information: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/VPK Example of hitsound installation: http://i.imgur.com/Bt4BtdF.png .tff files will not work in vpk: http://goo.gl/kkn4VY More info: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3114117 *** Packing mods into .vpk is recommended but not necessary *** Mounting a VPK to the filesystem is more efficient that adding a subfolder, because each time the engine needs to open a file, it will need to make a call to the operating system to search the folder. VPKs can be searched by the engine much more efficiently. Each subfolder is a new search path that must be checked each time the engine tries to open a file. So for optimal load times, always use VPK files and don't make any subfolders in this folder! *** Packing mods into .vpk is recommended but not necessary ***
