CS:S modding question.


Recommended Posts

I"m trying to install a custom skin for CSS for the first time.. and I'm trying to figure out where the models, sounds and etc is. I know it's in the Valve/Steam/myaccountname/counter-strike source/cstrike folder. but I can't seem to find it. can anyone help? I've already did the "show hidden files" thing already.

http://www.csnation.net/articles.php/article_225/ <- I'm following that.

I assume you downloaded this custom skin?

It's probably zipped/Rared, so it really should contain a Readme or have the Folder Structure for easy install.

But usually, the .Wav files ( Or whatever CS uses ) go sounds, .Mdl files go Model folder and .Spr Files go to Sprites :)

That's how it was in CS, i haven't tried installing custom skins for CS:S.

yeah it's zipped rared.. and I don't think this make any sense cause if I just make a model folder, it obviously won't replace the orignal one in CSS. :no:

Was reading over at Half-Life 2 files, the Source section.

Most skins had this as install instructions,

"Installation

Place in your counter-strike source\cstrike\materials folder and your set."

:)

hmmm.. do I make a new folder? for models in the materials folder? or what do I do? and place what exactly.

Downloaded a quick skin,

Here's the folder structure,

C:\My Files\Programmer\Steam\steamapps\<EMAIL>\counter-strike source\cstrike\materials\models\weapons\v_models\<Folder with name of Skin>\Skin .VMT files here!

Either the folder structure is in the Rar or you create them yourself!

I know I"m a hassle, but I still don't get it. >.< did your materials folder have the models folder or do I have to create them myself?

My rar came with only v_,p_,w_ and sound (wav) files.

  MichaelBL said:

The Materials folder was empty, except a folder named Vgui.

You gotta create them yourself.

Just a tip, download Skins where the folder structure is in the RAR files next time :) So much easier!

hmm.. is this a problem? I have .mdl files.. not .vmt files. :|

Ah no problem,

Sorry for all the confusion :laugh: I didn't know a thing about skins, i was just reading websites like crazy to offer some decent help.

I'm glad you did... now we both know how to import awesome skins for CSS. hey man you up for a match sometime? :)

Sorry, didn't see that last part until now :blush:

I'd have to say no thanks mate, i enjoy CS: Sources' Graphics and ideas but the random hitboxes, odd lag compensation ... I just can't take it :pinch:

    • "requiring individual licences from all rights-holders would impose an unmanageable administrative burden and could deter AI investment in the UK." Ah so plebs (humans) will forever be required to secure license, but AI should get a broad pass because it's too complicated. Not so "intelligent" after all? Plus, every opt out I have signed regarding Meta using my data was never presented to me in a clear way, I had to discover it here on neowin or some other news site with a link to do it. So what the government is saying is that they prefer to offer an opt out just to cover their asses, but good luck us plebs finding such a thing!
