    CSS Player Pack

    I've enabled the skins through mani on the server and they will download to your comp when you connect but for the low bandwidth users here is a download link to get a head start.

    Just copy the cstrike contents into your cstrike contents.

    [IN TESTING]Terrorist Model Pack, Skins by darkelfa and model by valve. I recompiled them together for the purpose of use with mani skins.

    Enjoy and the chickens should be working correctly too.

    You get to select your camo outfit for each map.

    the download is one time unless the skins change which they might, but i don't see how it could be that much of a problem when we host 10-15 custom maps. It's the information age of downloading.

    Either way the models are very cool to have to add an element of interest for alot of players. More will come with it as well.

    Re: CSS Player Pack

    Vulcan, can you please take it off of the server download list, so those of us who don't want to use/nor be affected by it don't have to?

    Thank you

    Re: CSS Player Pack

    Looks cool, but very annoying that I'm now shooting at my teammates and not shooting at the enemy. Could it possibly be an optional download as with 4 players its fine, but will it lag with 20 people using dif skins? One last thing, I deleted the player models but left the chicken model, will it redownload everytime I join the server now?

    Re: CSS Player Pack

    ok read this... and i seriously did not mean to shoot him, it wasn't till after he died that i read this...

    Game started:
    violentsquirrel : I bet theres gonna be alotta friendly fire problems with these new skins
    RULE #3: You are REQUIRED to work as a team.
    |TG|ڴabooya-{F.E.A.R} attacked a teammate
    |TG|ڴabooya-{F.E.A.R} killed |TG| 9v with m4a1.
    Teammate kills: 1 of 3
    violentsquirrel : yeah
    ¤TGS¤Max_Death : yep
    |TG|ڴabooya-{F.E.A.R} : o crap
    violentsquirrel : there ya go
    |TG EXTREME|.143Beth : ahaha
    ¤TGS¤Max_Death : lol
    |TG|ڴabooya-{F.E.A.R} : o man
    ¤TGS¤Max_Death : perfect timing!
    |TG|ڴabooya-{F.E.A.R} : i though he wa t
    |TG|ڴabooya-{F.E.A.R} : lol
    |TG EXTREME|.143Beth : ahaha
    violentsquirrel : thats for making my points
    |TG|ڴabooya-{F.E.A.R} : oops
    ¤TGS¤Max_Death : that was so perfect
    |TG|ڴabooya-{F.E.A.R} :

    The skins make it a bit hard to distinguish teams. Im not complaining *much* because it adds a whole new strategy to the game, but i think that there should be a way for some one to turn it off... Also I am unable to switch my skin when a new map is loaded. It is only when i am in the game and then i switch teams i can change my skin. It does allow me to pick a skin when i log on to server though.
    So i guess it both a good and a bad...

    Re: CSS Player Pack

    We're not going to give players the option to turn this on or off, because we are enforcing consistancy. Everyone has to see the same thing.

    Vulcan has invested considerable time and effort into player models (and a whole bunch of other aspects too) since the big meltdown. I'm sure he'll listen to feedback if models look too similar, and make further adjustments. We're not done yet - we have more ideas in the pipeline with regard to player models.

    Mongoos - if you delete the models, yes they will download next time you connect.

    Server 2 is currently unavailable, but yes, custom models are on both servers.

    A little communication would go a long way towards limiting the TKs. Just a thought.

    Re: CSS Player Pack

    Wouldn't it be more prudent if one server was to allow them, and the other not? It is a major change to the overall game and strategy. Major. I would think that some of the TG folk might not take kindly to this change after having been accustomed to playing with regular skins for such a long time. Just my 2 (well, 1 1/2) cents.
