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. :|

  MichaelBL said:

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:

    • A lot of your issues seem to be part of all the smart tech that's in any current car today. I too don't like the reliance on any of this smart tech, we have 2024 Ford Rangers at work with terrible systems for climate control and media. And there have been times when, stupidly relying on the reversing camera more than the mirrors, that I nearly reversed into a wall, because the display was showing half a second lag, and it seems all the emergency breaking was lagging too. No impact, but I managed to stop with about 1cm clearance from the tow ball because I finally checked my mirrors. Too much beeping, too much reliance on the screen and a computer that's just going to fail after 8 years. This is the era of end of life cars, which fail because of end of support software updates rather than mechanical issues. Now if my 2010 Yaris was electric, that would be the ultimate electric vehicle. None of the smarts, all of the power!
    • Why is it all of the sudden throwing ads everywhere on WhatsApp when they've done it all along without any ads? Their parent company makes plenty of money. Not everything has to make money when the parent company is worth billions. They're just greedy. As far as YouTube, it's absurd to charge for a premium service when people just want to watch a few videos. Charge a reasonable amount for an ad-free experience unless they want to watch 4K movies like they do on Netflix. Back to WhatsApp, they've done it this whole time, so them forcing ads will make users use other platforms.
    • Yeh, an alert human driver would have stopped, or at least drastically slowed down BECASUE there was a red stop sigh and a flipping yellow school bus, which in the context of the USA means kids may be around, but even being from another country, even I know that's a school bus!! It will be difficult for autonomous vehicles to understand the nuances that each country, yet alone each state/province/town has. There's obviously the general rules, but contexts for particular elements of certain streets also help. It's partly why many people don't like "out of towners" as they aren't used to or know the roads, and while this may become possible down the track for autonomous vehicles eventually, it could end badly for some. Lets hope they don't say it's all in the name of progress..
    • lol. If you're referring to Co-pilot it can be UNINSTALLED!!!!! If you're referring to Recall its... 1) OPT-IN 2) CAN ALSO BE UNINSTALLED
