It requires EasyDownloader to download the textures on the client's side. I included two models that I converted for my server, IJN's Reimu and Plasmid's Taokaka. Not the best porting job on the Tao model, but it's more of a proof-of-concept than anything.

Kinda wish SCS had its own thread, but I'm posting my edited version here because I want some feedback/advice on it.

Spoiler


Couple of questions:
  • How would I change the viewmodel of a client if I wanted to implement Reimu's existing viewmodel onto users that select her?
  • The Reimu model has custom HUD elements, originally meant to overwrite Rochelle's HUD images. Is it possible to change these to custom images on the client's end using Sourcemod?
  • So far, the only bug I know of is the config parser returning a garbage list of custom characters when the config is empty. Other than that, are there any other glaring issues with the edits I've made?
Managed to add arm to the viewmodel:
