[CS:GO] Changing the Team Player Model?

[Kubata]

Howdy,

working on a map for CS:GO and Ive run across something silly. I can't seem to find out after a lot of google searching exactly how to change the player models for a team. In short, the default skin for Terrorists is the leet krew and variants but I would like to change it to something else (Phoenix Connexion). I figured I can't be the only one interested in this so I feel this is a useful topic to have in case anybody knows the solution.

Cheers

I did some googleing, but couldn't ind anything. Can't you check how Valve have done in their maps? Use GCFScape and decompile one of their CS:GO maps.

It's specified in the ugly gamemodes.txt for each map.

Code: Select all

      "de_train"
      {
         "nameID"         "#SFUI_Map_de_train"
         "name"            "de_train"
         "minplayers"      "10"
         "maxplayers"      "10"
         "extraspectators"   "2"
         "imagename"         "map-train-overall"
         "t_arms"         "models/weapons/t_arms_phoenix.mdl"
         "ct_arms"         "models/weapons/ct_arms_gsg9.mdl"
         "t_models"
         {
            "tm_phoenix"      ""
            "tm_phoenix_variantA"   ""
            "tm_phoenix_variantB"   ""
            "tm_phoenix_variantC"   ""
            "tm_phoenix_variantD"   ""
         }
         "ct_models"
         {
            "ctm_gsg9"      ""
            "ctm_gsg9_variantA"   ""
            "ctm_gsg9_variantB"   ""
            "ctm_gsg9_variantC"   ""
            "ctm_gsg9_variantD"   ""
         }
      }

use the kv File

[srredfire]

Kubata are you still making Militia?

[Kubata]

Thank you it absolutely was the gamemodes.txt

Also srredfire yes I am

[Dives]

Bleh thats a crappy way for it to be done. Valve should have added the choice in the Worldspawn, just like how you choose the music theme in L4D2.

[Sathor]

Sorry for the crappy answer a few hours ago, I just had come off the plane

Well, now I am back after a one week beach holiday.

Valve introduced the KV file after they saw how crappy editing the gamemodes.txt for custom maps is. In the KV you can define player count etc as well.

I expect it will be made easier in future.

[Kanine01]

Might I inquire as to how I'm supposed to create that KV file in the first place?

[Habboi]

Yes, what is this magical KV file you speak of?

Never mind found a tutorial. Cheers.

Awww yeah. You can mix and match teams as well so I can have my SAS vs Professionals :>

A basic KV file - save it as mapname.kv and put it into the map folder

"de_investment_h122"
{
"name" "de_investment_h122"
"minplayers" "10"
"maxplayers" "32"
"extraspectators" "2"
"imagename" "map-dust2-overall"
"t_arms" "models/weapons/t_arms.mdl"
"ct_arms" "models/weapons/ct_arms_st6.mdl"
"t_models"
{
"tm_leet_variantA" ""
"tm_leet_variantB" ""
"tm_leet_variantC" ""
"tm_leet_variantD" ""
"tm_leet_variantE" ""
}
"ct_models"
{
"ctm_st6" ""
"ctm_st6_variantA" ""
"ctm_st6_variantB" ""
"ctm_st6_variantC" ""
"ctm_st6_variantD" ""
}
}
