SetupStartupGraphic can't find background inside VPK dir

I am trying to debug engine build using L4D2 game data.

source-engine installed with:

$ ./waf configure -T debug --64bits --prefix=%root%
$ ./waf build
$ ./waf install

%root% is a separate copy of steamapps/common/Left 4 Dead 2. All .so and binaries from that copy were deleted prior installation.

Then, I am trying to run the game with ./hl2_launcher -game left4dead2 and get error message:

Can't find background image 'materials/console/background01_widescreen.vtf'

Thing is, materials/console/background01_widescreen.vtf is in left4dead2/pak01_dir.vpk:

vpk -l left4dead2/pak01_dir.vpk -f 'materials/console/background01_widescreen.vtf'
materials/console/background01_widescreen.vtf

Here's startup log:

I think there could issues with gameinfo.txt that comes with L4D2 because strace doesn't show that pak01_dir.vpk is being opened.
Also MOD path is not found as it seems which might indicate that none of Game entries in gamemode.txt were mounted correctly.

Here's gamemode.txt that comes with l4d2: gameinfo.txt

What I've learnt so far after debugging:

  1. FileSystem_LoadSearchPaths gets called for every entry in SearchPaths
  2. AddVPKFile is not called at all before CTextureManager::WarmTextureCache is called
  3. If I set EXTRAS_VPK_PATH=pwd'/left4dead2/pak01_dir.vpk' then I get splash screen (but after that it fails with Can't find module - client`)
  4. If I add gamebin hl2/bin to SearchPaths, client library gets loaded but I get CSceneFileCache error

CSceneFileCache is irrelevant for this issue because it is caused by newer scene image version (3 vs 2 here)

The rest of it, however, indicates that search paths loading is incompatible with this engine branch.

With that being said, if we look at cstrike15 branch, you can find that its code for FileSystem_AddLoadedSearchPath has this exact section:
// Add language, mod, and gamebin search paths automatically.
And corresponding method AddGameBinDir. So you don't need to specify gamebin explicitly which solves 4.

FileSystem_LoadSearchPaths also works quite differently there. They look inside game paths for pak%02d_dir.vpk files explicitly while here it only happens if you specify wildcard, apparently.

So it seems like cstrike15 based off of l4d2 engine branch (or other way around).
