GCF extraction... denied? - Fail Medic - 11-20-2008
Well, okay. Saw the Demo was still hanging around, knew it had "expired" from someone saying so on here, tried it, didn't run, so fuck it! Remove local content, please!
Then I wanted to extract some sounds for Windows events and kicks. I wanted the horn cues (hated foe!), and I wanted the Tank theme. So I launch GCFScape and head for L4D's .gcf files.Â
Error writing C:\DOCUME~1\Fail\LOCALS~1\Temp\Taank.wav (Error: NCF files are indexes and do not contain any file data.)
If it's an index, it must be pointing to locations in the VPK files in \SteamApps\common\left 4 dead\left4dead, and I can't figure out what VPK files are. So, unlike Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead ain't keeping shit in a GCF file.
Goddammit, Valve.Â
I search Google for the error and I find a Facepunch Studios response to it:Â http://forums.facepunchstudios.com/showthread.php?t=640563Â , which says, "People are getting the files from their steam/steamapps/common/left4deaddemo folder."
And I just deleted mine. SON OF A--
Dunno if this would fall under Token NOT's jurisdiction, but I don't suppose someone could see if there are easily identifiable sounds in their not-yet-deleted L4D demo folder and host what I was after, could they?Â

Thank you, Duck! Downloaded! You have my +1s and gratitude.

If you own the game, all the sound files are in the directory steam/steamapps/common/left 4 dead/left4dead/sound
No need for GCFscape

Sigh. Thanks, MD. I have ridiculous tunnel vision. Sorry for your effort, Duck.
