i have modify gameinfo.txt to load addon vpk but game doesn't load anything.

here is the gameinfo.txt setting.
PHP Code:
"GameInfo"
{
    
game    "Left 4 Dead 2"    // Window title
    
type multiplayer_only
    nomodels 1
    nohimodel 1
    l4dcrosshair 1
    hidden_maps
    
{
        
"test_speakers"            1
        
"test_hardware"            1
    
}
    
nodegraph 0
    perfwizard 0
    SupportsXbox360 1
    SupportsDX8    0
    GameData    
"left4dead2.fgd"

    
FileSystem
    
{
        
SteamAppId                550        // This will mount all the GCFs we need (240=CS:S, 220=HL2).
        
ToolsAppId                563        // Tools will load this (ie: source SDK caches) to get things like materials\debug, materials\editor, etc.
        
        //
        // The code that loads this file automatically does a few things here:
        //
        // 1. For each "Game" search path, it adds a "GameBin" path, in <dir>\bin
        // 2. For each "Game" search path, it adds another "Game" path in front of it with _<langage> at the end.
        //    For example: c:\hl2\cstrike on a french machine would get a c:\hl2\cstrike_french path added to it.
        // 3. For the first "Game" search path, it adds a search path called "MOD".
        // 4. For the first "Game" search path, it adds a search path called "DEFAULT_WRITE_PATH".
        //

        //
        // Search paths are relative to the base directory, which is where hl2.exe is found.
        //
        // |gameinfo_path| points at the directory where gameinfo.txt is.
        // We always want to mount that directory relative to gameinfo.txt, so
        // people can mount stuff in c:\mymod, and the main game resources are in
        // someplace like c:\program files\valve\steam\steamapps\<username>\half-life 2.
        //
        
SearchPaths
        
{
            
Game                #map
            
Game                update
            Game                left4dead2_dlc3
            Game                left4dead2_dlc2
            Game                left4dead2_dlc1
            Game                
|gameinfo_path|.
            
Game                hl2
        
}
    }

the directory is follow
..home/l4d2/l4d2server/#map
..home/l4d2/l4d2server/left4dead2_dlc1
..home/l4d2/l4d2server/left4dead2_dlc2
..home/l4d2/l4d2server/left4dead2_dlc3
..home/l4d2/l4d2server/update

vpk in #map is name "map_goldeneye.vpk"
server doesn't load this addon map by testing "map *" and "show_addon_metadata" command.

=======================================
i have another problem is how can we write a path that locate to the file in pak01_dir.vpk and add this file into whitelist.cfg for checking crc?

You can just put the VPK in left4dead2/addons folder without doing unnecessary stuff.

make addon vpk work is easy, but i want to know how to make gameinfo.txt work because i remember that in version 2121 of L4D2 i use this way to manage the third party map in server.
