The first method could take roughly five minutes the second will definitely take more than an hour. The other way is using Milkshape to map the new CZ skeleton to the old CS model which will use the new (superior) skeletal animations. One is using my tool to compare the CZ and old CS model skeletons and change the skeletal animations according to their differences.
#CS CZ RUNNING EVEN WHEN NOT OPEN UPGRADE#
Depending on the amount of time you want to spend, we can upgrade the skeletal animations for our old model in two ways. It'll chug away for a moment creating the many sequences and then you should have several hundred smd files and a qc file in with your CZ model. Go back to Milkshape to decompile the CZ model like before but this time check only "QC Script" and "Sequence SMDs". Create a new folder with your other models to be decompiled and paste the model from CZ there. So, head to your cstrike\models\player folder and grab one. We'll need a base model from CZ (or CS 1.6) in which to steal the skeletal animations (sequences) from.
You should see some bitmap, qc, and smd files in the folder where your model is. This will extract all the model specific parts, geometry and textures, but not the skeletal animations. Locate your model and uncheck "Sequence SMDs". If you don't have that, you could try the built-in decompiler. Go to the Tools menu and down to Kratisto's HL MDL Decompiler. You'll see the standard views for editing in 3D and the like, but for right now, we just need to decompile the old model. You'll have 30 days to use it without buying, but that should be enough time to upgrade all your favorite models. Your directory structure should look like this with each model in its own folder and all the model folders in an upper-level folder. If we don't do this, things will definitely get screwed up as we convert more models.
So things don't get complicated, we need to set up a directory structure in which to convert the models we plan to upgrade. Snake's MDL Convertor (also need the newest version of MSCOMCTL.OCX and VB6 runtime files).Go ahead and download/install these programs and continue reading when you're ready: Of course, you will also need some programs to assist you, as this guide won't help you without them. Modeling by nature is a complex practice, even if we're only cutting the surface of it by upgrading its structure.
One being that you do need some skill and knowledge with the computer and Half-life for some of the steps.

If you also have this problem with older custom models in new versions of HL mods (particularly CS), I'll detail how to fix them in the following guide.įirst, you will need a few things. As you can imagine, this is extremely annoying and can affect your game when you can't determine if a player is dead or not. Instead, they floated around in the dummy pose such as in the screenshot to the right. I started playing a match with bots and quickly noticed an oddity continued to occur with my CS 1.5 models they weren't dying- at least not in the typical sense where you would expect them to be dead when you apply a bullet to their skull.

So, naturally, being the seasoned PC gamer that I am, I copied my models that I'd downloaded for the mod version of CS 1.5 to the cstrike\models\players folder in Condition Zero.

I recently acquired Counter-Strike: Condition Zero and was, as most veteran CS were, appalled by the models that were used-the same tired ones from the original CS with a skin tone like a sun-burned asian covered with cheese. Upgrading Counter-Strike models for CS 1.6 or CZ
