Sorry for asking similar questions here, but after I installed the AR2 weapon skin, I overwrote the Weapons, Models, and Materials folders. If I want to install a second skin that have the same name for their folders, what do I do?

place in folders that it tells u to

"materials" would be in the materials folder in ur sf folder

edit: u dunt place the whole folder into it, u just place the files thats in it in the appropriate folder

Say like you get shotgun materials, sounds and models.

You place materials in:

(Usually both v_ and w_ folders)

You place models in:

(With out folders, so it should be a long list of all your v_ and w_ models)

You place sounds in:

(With folders, unless specified, for example my ar2 uses the sounds in sound\ar2\fire.mp3)

Sometimes you also get scripts, for example custom sounds for a weapon to use. Sometimes you don't. If you do use this directory to place them:

(Generally editing the specified weapon script, for example weapon_ar2.txt)

If following these instructions do not work, for example your weapon or customised files do not appear to be working in sourceforts. Try place the files in the following directory instead:

Followed by Materials,Models,Sounds or Scripts.

Hope it helped.

Thanks for the help! You guys are really awesome.
That is, when you're not downright owning me in SF.

i can help you out with the basics, though most here are better then me ...

Thanks, I'd really appreciate it!

By the way, the last problem I seem to have, is that when I have two different skins that use the same name on a model or something (ie, an MP5 skin has the name of smg1.vtx or something, while my M4 skin also has a smg1.vtx file, but they are to different guns).

Creators fault, you're going to need to change the name of one of the smg's. Like all the smg models that apply to it aswell. Then edit the script file, for example weapon_m4 to use model m4.vtx. The textures will also need to be changed to $basetexture model/m4 etc.

Basically bad author.

i guess thats not what hes up to...

if you download a model which has a model folder in it, you place it into the SF folder. it will ask you if you want to overwrite shit -> it only overwrites files that comes with the new pack... it doesnt change anything else... its like "updating the folder"... the fact you got a "model" folder in that pack is just that you dont have to go into 331353 subdir's -.-


and for that m4 skin problem, you either use the m4 one or the other one... you cant have 2 models for the same weapon because they are getting overwritten... what you were about to do was adding a second weapon to SF which isnt done by just placing another model in thar... so decide which one looks better and copy it in... done.

i hope i helped a bit... :P

Thanks guys.

Is installing a new skin for the grav gun the same thing as with weapon skins?
And lastly, how do I change the sounds for standard HL2 guns? Such as the SMG. If the new skin comes with custom sounds, I can easily change it by replacing the "fire1" sound with any .wav file I have, but if it doesn't, It's not that simple.

If the sounds, are not the same names. The skin should have included a script file.
