How to add skins for dummies

icepick66 · #1 09-24-2007, 05:54 PM

Tired of the posts over and over asking how to add skins.

You have 2 files to configure zombie mod to tell it how to use the new skins. These are:

cfg/zombiemod/downloads.cfg
cfg/zombiemod/models.cfg

The models you downloaded will be in this format:

materials/models/player/[authorname]/[modelname]/**materialfiles**
models/player/[authorname]/[modelname]/**modelfiles**

If they aren't in this format then the modeler was a clown.
Some modelers are nice and will make the downloads.cfg and models.cfg for you, and place it somewhere in the zip file.
But these are useless for what you want to do.

1) Telling zombie mod where to download the files from to the client.

Browse in the zip to this location (obviously replacing the author name and model name respectively)
materials/models/player/[authorname]/[modelname]/

Copy this path and paste it into a new notepad file, and copy/paste it a few times E.g

Code:

materials/models/player/icepick66/vampire/
materials/models/player/icepick66/vampire/
materials/models/player/icepick66/vampire/
materials/models/player/icepick66/vampire/

Make sure they are forward slashes

In the zip file you will see a number of files, depending on the complexity of the model.
What you need to do is copy the name of each file in there and add the name onto the end of the model line
E.g

Code:

materials/models/player/icepick66/vampire/model1.vmt
materials/models/player/icepick66/vampire/model1.vtf
materials/models/player/icepick66/vampire/model1_head.vmt
materials/models/player/icepick66/vampire/model1_head.vtf

That's the materials done, lets do the model parts
Browse to this folder in the .zip (Not in the materials folder!)
models/player/[authorname]/[modelname]/

Then with the notepad document you have open paste the file path like above (it should be the same without the materials bit) Paste it 7 times.
E.g

Code:

models/player/icepick66/vampire/
models/player/icepick66/vampire/
models/player/icepick66/vampire/
models/player/icepick66/vampire/
models/player/icepick66/vampire/
models/player/icepick66/vampire/
models/player/icepick66/vampire/

Now copy and paste each file name on the end of each line:
E.G.

Code:

models/player/icepick66/vampire/model1.mdl
models/player/icepick66/vampire/model1.phy
models/player/icepick66/vampire/model1.sw.vtx
models/player/icepick66/vampire/model1.dx90.vtx
models/player/icepick66/vampire/model1.dx80.vtx
models/player/icepick66/vampire/model1.xbox.vtx
models/player/icepick66/vampire/model1.vvd

Note: The extensions will always be the same, but the file names will be different!

Now that's done, we need to select our entire file, copy it.
Then open:
cfg/zombiemod/downloads.cfg
Browse to the bottom of that file, then paste the new lines in.

Now clients can download your new models!

But we need to tell zombie mod to use it as a actual zombie.

2) Adding the model to zombie mods model list.

Open: cfg/zombiemod/models.cfg

Then you need to copy the .mdl location from your other notepad document so:

Code:

 models/player/icepick66/vampire/model1.mdl

And paste it into the models.cfg file for zombie mod.
and delete the .mdl extension, so your left with:

Code:

...
models/player/icepick66/vampire/model1

(As usual the ... means the models before, don't actually type ... in the cfg file, unless you want to break zombie mod!)

That it done, just need to drag and drop all the files in the zip to your server, so your models end up where they are in the cfg files. And reboot the server, and enjoy

Sounds like a lot I know, but its really really simple once you got the hang of it.

Totally pissed off. I've spent the past 3 hours trying to get 2 skins to work. Someone tell me if these skins have known errors.

http://www.ics-base.net/css_skins/special_skins.php

I've tried it your way, IcePick, and ICS's readme- but this retard misspelt shit in his own readme and had backslashes instead of frontslashes. I've done EVERYTHING possible but all everyone see's errors for the Pale Guerilla and the SmileyClown models. The ZombieTerror works tho.

Please tell me wtf i did wrong.
