ok now first i wanna say HI
now i wanna ask something
i have all the skins downloaded and i unzipped them in the cstrike in the CS folder
now this is what happened
all skins went in MANY diferent folders , the good thing was that they were together , the bad thing they were everywhere
new folders were made named 1 , 2 ,4 , 5 ,6 , 7 , 12 , 12 and 18 there was no materials folder and there is no scripts folder too
i made the materials folder and made the subfolders ( or how u call em ) and put all the v and w files in their folders
i cant find 'game_sounds_manifest' and there is no scripts folder ( maybe im looking in wrong place )
i arranged sound and it seem they are the only thing working
and there are some files that have a p in fron t of them ( example p_scout.mdl )
where do these need to go ?
can i get answers PLS

I take it this skin didn't come from CSDL?

i downloaded the skins from here LOL
http://www.counter-strike-dl.com/cs-skins-3.html
i dl 1 skin for each wep

They're for 1.6 not Source. Easy.

well where i find for cs 1.6 LOL??
no source

Wherever, we don't support them here anymore.

WELL IT doesnt matter anymore
the files i DL from here worked
wanna know how :D:D
well i just unziped the files in the cstrike\models folder
all weapons are skinned in your hand , some are seen skinned in world and in other players hands while u are still alive and watching other people
some weps while on ground are skinned but some arent
i dont care about anything else im just happy they work while i hold the weapon and they look GREAT

Where else did you think you had to install them? / think the skins would appear ingame?

Where they go
Now you know what the files you're dealing with are, it's time to tell you where they go, and how to make them work.

In a replacement you download there will be several folders, more often than not a 'models' and 'materials', sometimes other folders such as 'sounds' and 'scripts' may also be present. These need to be put in specific folders, or they will not work correctly. We make it simple for you to install them however by pre-creating all the in-depth directories into the zip, so all you have to do is unzip to your cstrike folder, and it puts everything into position automatically, instead of having to unzip each part of the skin to its individual folder. However even this causes trouble for some of you, so below are details on where the individual folders are and where their contents should be placed:

-The materials folder contains the textures/skin for the object, and is where nearly everyone ******s up. At the very end of this directory you will usually find only 1 set of files in the folder named after the weapon, which is in v_models, however sometimes there will be one named w_models too with another set of files. Either way, each set of files needs placing in either cstrike\materials\models\weapons\v_models\<WEAPON NAME>\<FILE>
or cstrike\materials\models\weapons\w_models\<WEAPON NAME>\<FILE>

-The models folder will contain the models, and is the easiest to install, as there is just a heap of files, and only 1 location to dump them in - cstrike\models\weapons.

-The scripts file will help the sounds in the script work smoothly, usually there will be 2 .txts, a 'game_sounds_manifest' that will go directly in: cstrike\scripts
And another named after the weapon that will go in:
cstrike\scripts\weapons

-The sounds obviously are sounds, and go in:
cstrike\sound\weapons\<WEAPON/SKIN NAME>




from your guide i read sound , scripts , materials and models folders ,
i thought there the files need to be unzipped
so i think you need to make a new guide becouse the 1 SUX ( no offence ) it tells you what a skin is and all but where to instla MIGHT be a problem for some people (like me)
so in where they go just write in cstrike / models and thats it

Er, no. It says where everything goes if you actually read it beyond the first sentence and frankly if you can't understand it, it can be no clearer. It says where to batch-extract, and manual extract if needed. The problem seems to be you're a fucking mong and tried to apply the guide to CS 1.6 instead of CS Source despite the fact I already told you we don't support it.

MAN who put u to be an admin !??!
