I am looking for a method of using textures from a model's skingroup.

I went through all the methods.

pev_weaponmodel2, pev_viewmodel2, pev_skin even tried something weird with pev_body.



Note: I need this for viewmodels (v_).
I can't switch to multiple submodels instead of skins. The references got too many vertices.

The simple answer: you can't set submodels because the client always predicts the first submodel.
The complicated answer: it is actually doable but in a very hacky and bad way, with multiple drawbacks/issues.

So, even if you somehow switch to submodels it would be (almost) useless.

So how can CSXtreme and CSO do it?
I understand that CSO modifies the base game
But CSXtreme uses AMXX and has a file that allows choosing with a variable of 0 and 1 to choose male or female hands

That would be easily done with this https://github.com/ValveSoftware/halflife/issues/199
It wasn't added yet, the thread is ~8 years, rip

You answered yourself. CSO is a modified game with a modified client.
I have no idea what CSXtreme is, but they could simply be using duplicated models, modified the client code or something like metahook.

In cs xtreme used single v_ models with 2 sub-models (for M and F hands) for every weapon. I wonder how NST made that but all what we can find is compiled .amxx files. There are no sources that we could use

u can change bodygroups for v_ models with hacky method, but it limited by number 255(1Byte).

I don't know how you can do it in clasic mode, but in zp50 works with those lines added in the weapon plugin.

Weapon_OnDeploy(const iItem, const iPlayer, const iClip, const iAmmoPrimary, const iMode)
{
	#pragma unused iClip, iAmmoPrimary, iMode
	
	static iszViewModel;
	if (iszViewModel || (iszViewModel = engfunc(EngFunc_AllocString, MODEL_VIEW)))
	{
		set_pev_string(iPlayer, pev_viewmodel2, iszViewModel);
	}
	
	static iszPlayerModel;
	if (iszPlayerModel || (iszPlayerModel = engfunc(EngFunc_AllocString, MODEL_PLAYER)))
	{
		set_pev_string(iPlayer, pev_weaponmodel2, iszPlayerModel);
	}
	
	// Cancel any reload in progress.
	set_pdata_int(iItem, m_fInReload, 0, extra_offset_weapon);
	set_pdata_int(iItem, m_iModeChange, 0, extra_offset_weapon);

	new hclass = zpnm_get_user_human_class(iPlayer);
	
	// Apply woman and man hands submodel
	// Man
	if(hclass == 0)
	{
		set_pev(iItem, pev_body, 0)
	}
	if(hclass == 1)
	{
		set_pev(iItem, pev_body, 0)
	}
	if(hclass == 2)
	{
		set_pev(iItem, pev_body, 0)
	}

	// Woman
	if(hclass == 3)
	{
		set_pev(iItem, pev_body, 1)
	}
	if(hclass == 4)
	{
		set_pev(iItem, pev_body, 1)
	}
	if(hclass == 5)
	{
		set_pev(iItem, pev_body, 1)
	}

	set_pdata_string(iPlayer, m_szAnimExtention * 4, ANIM_EXTENSION, -1, extra_offset_player * 4);
	
	set_pdata_float(iItem, m_flTimeWeaponIdle, WEAPON_TIME_DELAY_DEPLOY, extra_offset_weapon);
	set_pdata_float(iPlayer, m_flNextAttack, WEAPON_TIME_DELAY_DEPLOY, extra_offset_player);
	
	// Deploy with default weapon settings
	Weapon_DefaultDeploy(iItem, iPlayer, MODEL_VIEW, MODEL_PLAYER, ANIM_DUMMY, ANIM_EXTENSION);
}
