How to select default game models (ctm_gign.mdl, tm_phoenix.mdl, etc.)

Anjin · **Author**

Like the thread says...

Adding:

Code:

"model_path"            "models/player/ctm_gign.mdl"

and:

Code:

    "ctm_gign"
    {
        "name" "ctm_gign"
        "path" "models/player/"
        "team" "humans"
        "access" "public"
        "group" ""
    }

to playerclasses.txt and models.txt doesn't work, in fact, it crashes the server. Using "default" uses the default models, but you can't CHOOSE which ones (FBI, GIGN, SAS, etc.).

So how do I choose a specific default model that is in pak01_dir.vpk and not a custom one in models/player?

Jargon

If it's like the default zombie model, you'll need to extract it from the .vpk file and put it on your server only. Clients don't need to download it as the path will work for them out of the .vpk but sourcemod cannot read or precache files inside vpk archives.

Thanks, I'll give it a try. Edit: confirmed working, just too bad about the extra step of extracting and copying models, ah well.

SM_Skinchooser can read from .vpk files, I can select the default models from the .vpk without extracting them...
