You may want to put it in a zip file instead of a vpk i had a hard time extracting it.
Had to get gcfscape to be able to extract it.
bit of a nuisance if you don't know much about computers.

You don't have to extract the vpk file, just put it in the Portal2Addons folder and it will load everything in it.

Yeah, I meant that you put .vpk inside addons folder. Readme says that "extract .vpk to ..." so it is little confusing I admit.

Found a bug with getting the cube into the last room.

Spoiler

My partner fell down where you place the cube inside that little hole, and he didn't fall all the way down and got stuck above the lasers. He picked up the cube from there and handed it up to me.

'MP_COO~1.VPK' is not a valid Source engine add-on. Installation failed.

That's the error I get when I double click the .vpk (it's in addons). Doesn't let me install any idea?

Looks like your unzip utility cannot handle long filenames and still uses the DOS 8.3 format. The filename is messed up so find a better utility for unzipping or rename the file you extracted to something like "coop.vpk".

You don't double click it! You go to console and use changelevel mp_coop_discovery_01 or other map changing command depending on the situation.

I'll try again later, but my mate said it didn't appear in the console? Maybe he did something stupid
