Custom hostages Created 20 years ago2004-05-28 11:19:17 UTC by Shlomo

is it possible to create custom hostages?
what I need is just to add a hat and a beard to the hostages.

take the model you want to use, then go to expert mode on the hostage_entity then go to the part key for the hostage model and put your model in.

You may want to read Vassy's reskinning tutorial.

Oh, I thought he already had the model ready.

I wish...

I need some basic instruction here guys... which program is used to make the model, and how do I exprt it to that key you talked about?

P.S. somebody told me that if you put custom hostages it messes up the scientist models... is that right? And do players on the server need anything specific in order to have those special hostages?

it messes up the sci models on counter-life. to get the hostages players need the .mdl, im not sure if thers anoythign else. to make models get milkshape3d. course its a 30 day trial. then u must BUY BUY BUY!

The server doesnt need anything if its part of the map

Can I like import a normal hostage from the game and just add a hat to him? or does that require another skill (so many... why??? : )

Modeling skills? Yes, it's a different skill from mapping. I suggest trying out Milkshape 3D, found here:

It's a 30 days trial, after the trial time the save option gets blocked. Costs only 25 dollar so it's affordable, I've bought it.
