Alternate texture installation.
This is not needed if you do step 6a.
If you want to install the textures on the correct default_pct_#.pak file.
You do need to recreate the .cache file with the PakCacher for all these pak files after.
Here are the locations where each textures located inside inside pct folder are correctly placed.

default_pct_17.pak
 - ch_mark_8_helmet_01_<1-10>.pct_mip

default_pct_4.pak
 - d_shldr_death_guard_02_<1-9>.pct_mip

PakCacher
If you modified a pak file and the game is crashing on startup, it might
be because the cache file does not match the modified pak file.
You can use this tool to create a cache file for the pak file.
