Deadline and Deadline 2 AddonInfo Files
This is the addoninfo metadata file included with the sample Deadline campaign. Feel free to use this as a template for the metadata for your own custom addons.
The only info of the addoninfo.txt that the game will use are the "AddonContent_X" lines. which can be used to keep file replacements to work only on the maps inside the vpk. Addon title, Version, Author and Description will be taken from the steam workshop, if the map was downloaded via the steam workshop.
The full add-on and source files can be downloaded off a website hosted by Steam:
