How to take model packs and convert them into palyable model

madslug · Post by **madslug** » Thu Jun 10, 2010 2:33 am

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?

into the add-ons folder, the format is:

obsidian\add-ons\<addon name>\info.txt

Also you will have to unzip them in most cases.

i suspect that people have that much knowledge of what a .zip file means...

just put the non-valve folder (unzipped) into add-ons?

if that folder contains a info.txt yeah

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.

the addons only get loaded if there is a info.txt

start oc with -dev and you'll see what get's loaded

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.)

yea i will need that text file. in the model packs they have info text document but nothing is in it. sry gtaiiilc but I'm confused on your instructions.

open notepad click save as and save it as info. drop the info file you just made in the folder for your addon. thats how.

Its meant to be blank/empty.

the mod doesn't read the content of the info.txt yet, it's likly to change (in worst case it'll be when i add lua into the mod)

so what i do is take go into the model pack folder, go to the notepad in it already, click on it, save as info and put it back in?

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