Overriding Custom Assets

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

When the game boots, it scans the momentum/custom/ folder for VPK files and subfolders. For steam users, this will be

under the steam install path.

Each VPK and subfolder is added as a “search custom”, meaning that the files inside them will override the default game’s files. Using this is recommended over modifying the game’s files, as the custom folder will persist when installing an update or using Steam’s “verify integrity of game files” feature.
