Now, I know how to pack the files into .vpk format (by opening the file in vpk.exe), however after this point, I don't know where or what to do with the vpk files to load them. I read that you have to mount them or something however I can't seem to find out how.
Also, are these packed correctly?: http://i.imgur.com/zO7bFUr.png
Or do I just pack my entire custom folder (not the custom folder itself, but the one you can name) into one big vpk file?
I think you have to just pack the entire folder your hud is in. I'm not sure if it works the way you're doing it.
Alright, the files work when I packed it all into one collective .vpk. However, the custom fonts within the vpk will not load now. I read somewhere, Fog was talking about how vpk files do not like font files. How do I get the font files (such as custom crosshairs and custom fonts for huds) to load then?
Yeah, something's with the fonts in vpk..
I just leave them in a folder called /fonts/resources/ within custom.
so...
'./tf/custom/fonts/resource/[fonts here]'
If you pack into VPK's often, you can make a shortcut into the custom folder. Next time you need to pack into vpk, just click and drag into the shortcut.
