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:

    • I think each AI option has their ups and downs. For Copilot, I find it more personable in how it talks compared to GPT & Gemini. I also appreciate the open ended questions it often provides at the end of its responses to keep the conversation going.
    • Microsoft offers free access to AI video creation with Bing Video Creator by Pradeep Viswanathan Two years ago, Bing Image Creator became one of the first major online services that allowed users to create images from text using OpenAI’s DALL-E model. Today, Microsoft is introducing Bing Video Creator, powered by OpenAI’s Sora, allowing users to create videos with text prompts. Despite announcing Sora last year, OpenAI has not been able to expand its availability to millions of ChatGPT users due to huge AI infrastructure requirements. It is still only available to ChatGPT Pro subscription users, which costs about $200 per month. Recently, Google announced its Veo 3 video generation model, which performs significantly better than OpenAI’s Sora, to all Gemini paid subscribers, making video generation accessible to even Gemini Pro subscribers, which costs just $20 per month. Now, Microsoft is democratizing access to video generation models by making Bing Video Creator free for all Bing users. Bing Video Creator is rolling out today globally (excluding China and Russia) on the Bing Mobile App, and it will be coming soon to the Bing desktop experience within Copilot Search. Bing Video Creator users will have the ability to choose between Fast and Standard generation speeds. Each user will have 10 Fast creations; following that, users can redeem 100 Microsoft Rewards points for each Fast creation or continue with Standard creation speeds. Once you have downloaded the Bing mobile app, here’s how you can access the Video Creator feature: Open Video Creator within the Bing Mobile app by clicking on the menu in the bottom right corner and selecting “Video Creator.” Just type in a text description of the video you want to create in the prompt box. Once the prompt text is ready, just tap “Create.” Or you can also just type directly into the Bing mobile app search bar "Create a video of..." to create a video. You’ll receive a notification when your video is ready to view. If required, you can also download the video or share it via social media or email. You will also have the ability to copy a direct link to the video for easy sharing elsewhere. Microsoft will be storing the generated videos for up to 90 days in your account for easy access later. Microsoft noted that the Bing Video Creator videos are 5 seconds long and can be created only in 9:16 format for now. Microsoft will be adding the 16:9 format soon. When you are waiting for your video to be created, you can also queue up another two videos. Once one of the slots becomes available, you can add another one to the queue. When Bing Video Creator becomes available on desktop, you can visit Bing.com/create for both image and video creation needs.
