How to take model packs and convert them into palyable model

Post by madslug »

I downloaded Steam and non-steam model packs. I downloaded them and i don't know where to put them in order for them to show up in the model chooser in the obsidian options menu. What do i do? :?

Also you will have to unzip them in most cases.

It also works without info.txt.
Honest, I extracted the old playermodel packs to there with each pack its own folder as if they were addons. And I didn't give them info.txt's. They still worked so it's not necessary, I think.

copy and past one from one of the other model packs OR make a .txt file named info...nothing important is in them so add credits if you want

now I have a question about the add-on system. how would you go about making a scripted weapons addon if they have custom sounds? (they normally replace game_sounds_cs_weapons.txt I was wanting Solidjake's Custom Weapons as a addon for my wife.)

i did that and nothing happened. btw it also said "info already exists" because it seems to be already there
