Would this be possible?

Hey guys, it's Monkah.

I've been wondering, is it possible to change the models for the citizen on character creation? Say, if I wanted to switch the classic citizen (male_05, for example) models with my own. Would this be possible, and if so, how would I go about doing this?

Thanks,

Look into the citizen faction file located in the factions folder. Then look at the administrator's. You will see that the administrator's has this

Code:

FACTION.models = {
	female = {
		"models/humans/group17/female_01.mdl",
		"models/humans/group17/female_02.mdl",
		"models/humans/group17/female_03.mdl",
		"models/humans/group17/female_04.mdl",
		"models/humans/group17/female_06.mdl",
		"models/humans/group17/female_07.mdl"
	},
	male = {
		"models/humans/group17/male_01.mdl",
		"models/humans/group17/male_02.mdl",
		"models/humans/group17/male_03.mdl",
		"models/humans/group17/male_04.mdl",
		"models/humans/group17/male_05.mdl",
		"models/humans/group17/male_06.mdl",
		"models/humans/group17/male_07.mdl",
		"models/humans/group17/male_08.mdl",
		"models/humans/group17/male_09.mdl"
	};
};

Try to put that in your citizen file, except add/remove more lines and change the model. I'm not sure if that will work but it's worth a shot.

 

Its in a core file for hl2rp i remember seeing it. something like default models or something, go through your hl2rp files and find the .mdl

 

That's all you have to do. We've got over 300 models right now if I'm correct for players to choose from..

 

Good lord! I don't even want to look at your Content Packs' SIZE.

 

Custom canons seem to run high packs... 3.6 gigs. Dedicated players don't seem to mind, which is what we're looking for.

 

I'm dedicated, and I'm a Community Director myself. We just use some models, however, once in a while we're adding new things.
