Do you think the official Models will be cool?

[Estevan]

DO you think the official models will be cool? Or do you even think there will be any official models and valve will just stick with the beta models :?

I hope the new models look kick ass and i hope the hostages look cool too.

 

[mortey]

I bet they are the same.

 

[ktimekiller]

yes u are

 

[Aceallways]

yes...obviously

 

[Soundwave]

That's one of the main things I'm looking forward to, is seeing how the other models for the Ts and CTs look, not to mention the hostages. It's a small thing I suppose, but I can't wait to see em. Particularly the SAS class.

 

[merc]

i think they will be sweet, it will be nice running out of the base and not seeing mobs of the same character

-merc

 

[ButtHoleMcGee]

Leet Krew all the way.

 

[merc]

wooot french gign

-merc

 

[UnkY]

think they will look the same.. dont think they put much time in it...

 

[Dekstar]

Haha British SAS for me too. they're the only ones who can't be attacked with mustard gas grenades

I hope they rule, and I hope the (current) default models will look better. If not, blink at least.

 

[Carnage_333]

it will probably have the same 4 models for each team. They are good models, but i think they need to add one more for each team. Maybe in an update, the game needs to be released first...

 

[Jesus Lincoln]

I like it 1 model per team

 

[Soundwave]

Why would less choices be preferred?

Anyway, there actually are 5 models per team if you count the new ones added in CZ. Doubtful that those two additions will make it.

Anyway, like I said, I just can't wait to see the hostie models and especially the good ol' gasmask wearing SAS.

 

[bam23]

1 model per team is possible, assuming cl_minmodels 1 is still in.

 

[StormCyko]

I wonder if scientists will be used for hostages, or perhaps civilian-looking models.

 

[MikeJ]

I saw a bit of them in the Prima raising the the bar HL2 book, and they looked cool.

heh, not funny.

 

[LeXo5]

I can't wait to see new GSG-9 .......... thats what I am in-game

 

[disruptioN_]

It's all about GIGN and Leet Krew.

 

[Ecthe|ioN]

As long as people don't complain about them being hunched I don't care how they look. When you're holding a gun while aiming, you will automatically hunch. People over at the steampowered forums don't understand that.

There are no models yet for the different outfits in the preload GCF yet, but the cstrike/classes shows all the names of the players though (arctic, leet, gign etc) it's a res file and when you open it (just with Notepad) you see that all the terrorist models direct to the terror.mdl model (same for ct).

But the image in the selection screen does exist (cstrike/materials/VGUI/gfx/VGUI/) for all models. So I assume all models are stored in terror.mdl or they all use the same default modell (atm at least). The image that it shows on the selection screen is the same size for all (85,5 KB) but the files are different when you open it in notepad (what you see doesn't make any sense, but you can tell they're different). But it's probably a raw model without compression so hence they're all the same size.

Conclusion: you'll be able to select all models when you start a game, they will all have their image beside their names. All the models are probably stored in terror.mdl (for the terrorists of course). If not, then there is only one model available when it initially releases. Because I doubt the reference to "3DModel" "models/player/terror.mdl" in for example leet.res will change unless it gets replaced by a new leet.res (but that wouldn't make sense, why preload it already then?)
Maybe someone with the stolen build tools will be able to read the VMT files and make a sensible image out of it.

And yes, I've got too much free time on my hands.

 

[Cole]

PvtRyan...wanna lend me your brain for school? I gotta pass a test.

 

[Ecthe|ioN]

PvtRyan: way too much free time!

 

[Dekstar]

Can you really use the stolen tools to make the GCF files proper unlocked? that's a bit silly, isn't it?
