Hi again folks.
I would like to introduce Charlie to you all. She is a completely unique HL2-DM & Ragdoll player character for your personal use and enjoyment. I always felt there was a lack of third party player models for deathmatch, so I set about modeling Charlie about a month ago. I have spent a huge amount of time creating this character, to have it as complete, and as usable as possible. The creation time has been well spent, as the model seems to work very well in DM, and as a Ragdoll in mods.
There is one technical issue with the eyes detailed in the readme, but nothing to worry about as I have included a solution. The readme is below and also in the zip file.

TITLE: HL2 DM Player character & Ragdoll - Charlie Vigor V1.0
AUTHOR: Slap
E-MAIL: [email protected]
FILENAME: Charlie_Vigor_DM.Zip
FILESIZE: 15MB
DATE RELEASED: 13 Feburary 2006
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Place the contents of the folder *Charlie-DM/hl2mp into your *half life 2 deathmatch/hl2mp folder. This will overide the HL2 engine to use the new models. You will then be able to select Charlie from the character screen in DeathMatch, as replacements for female_01 and female_02 player models.
2.From the folder *Charlie_Ragdoll_For_Mods, simply place the material and model folders into the relavent mod folders to use the high detail ragdoll, and alyx animations, in third party mods.
DESCRIPTION: This model is an original player character for HL2 Deathmatch. She comes in three flavours, Police and Army outfits, plus a seperate more detailed ragdoll using Alyx and female animations. Charlie is a high resolution character at 14.5k polys, with multiple high resolution textures for diffuse/alpha, specular and normal maps. Five levels of detail help keep framerates good and she is only 14.5k when at 2 meters from the character.
Technical Issuse's/Workarounds: The level's of detail distances are set so that the skirt dosen't cut through the top of the thighs when in extreme positions. So at all reducing levels of detail the skirt remains over the legs even at maximum distance. Eyes work perfectly in HLMV for the models, but again exhibit strange problems in mods. The eyes will not track properly in-game until flex information is added to the qc compile file, which isnt included yet. I decided to fix seperate pupils in place for the DM models and ragdoll, and left the tracking eyes in situ, but at a scale of 0.1 instead of 1.0. You can see the pupil but it is tiny. There is a fixed pupil mesh over the eyeball to keep a good looking eye setup. If you wish to recompile to use the tracking eyes, simply remove the pupil mesh over the eyeball in your favorite 3d program and recompile the model using a pupil scale of 1.0 and the eyes will be perfect in HLMV.
BUGS: Read above.
COMMENTS: If you have any questions regarding this model please e-mail me and I will do my best to answer you within 24hrs. Comments on my model are most welcome..
REQUIREMENTS: HL2 + Optional Mods to use the Ragdoll
