Custom models prevent you from playing on local server after 10 august aupdate.

Hey anyway, after the update on august the 10th you can't create custom games, if you have custom models/skins. So it's not just that you can't play with them, but the game won't start. You get an error of something a file couldn't be found. Anyway it has something to do sith this specifically. Now it

Counter-Strike: Source

* Added validation of custom player model and weapon materials. Custom materials must be VertexLitGeneric with only $baseTexture and $bumpmap variables defined

Anyway, I just wanted to give the people that have this problem but haven't figured it out a heads up. Because I wen't to http://www.counter-strike-dl.com/ and saw there that they say that u can use skins as normal. But it also may be just on my PC that this error happens.

Now for my queston. can anyone tell me why they added this, and if the skins site have updated models with these things added so the skins work.

Plus it seems in css adding skins is harder than it used to be, in the old cs you just had to add the v,w and p models in the models, and if necesairy some sounds if you wanted to. But in source, you have to do more. Why did they do that, wouldn't you want to make skins adding even easier, or was it just nesesaiy, seeing as how complex the new models can be.

Maybe it's just more difficult with Source?

It's because people could make models that glowed there walls and things. Therefor it's like a model wallhack.
