To make completely new npc, you have to make the models, texture em up, code em up....blahblahblah I have new grunt model, how would I make that be the npc that showes up under a monster_hgrunt, would I have to export the textures and import it into the hgrunt model or is there another way?

PS. If anyone could make me a super zombie for my mod please tell me and ill give you the details

Replace the model

If under Steam, put it in SteamAppsaccounthalf-lifevalvemodels.

That would give a error message saying that there's something wrong with that .mdl file... I've tried it, and it didn't work for me

Then you'd have to make new code for it. You could export the textures and put them on the regular human grunt.

I would encourage the authors of the site to make sure that HL2 posts go in the HL2 forum. :

Just something I noticed, ever since HL2 came on the market...

What? Sound advice I'm sure, but... he's not talking about HL?. He said monster_hgrunt - that's not HL?.

Terrel: then the model is corrupt.

Are you sure your giving the new model the same name as the old one?

let me rephrase this, I have a mod folder called residentmesa, in the pak file called pak0.pak is a folder called models, in the models folder there are the hgrunt, hgrunt1, hgrunt2, hgrunt3, hgruntt like the original hgrunt models in the half-life/valve/pak0.pak file. How would I make it so that when I run a map that tests to see if the grunt is the new model, its the new model?

Im using the poke646 hgrunt models cuz I dont have a program to make my own

Um... I don't know if this is what you mean.. but just add -game residentmesa as a command line switch to hl.exe (assuming you've liblist.gam setup)

There is no way of "checking" content btw. So you can put in anything and as long as it obeys the folder and pak structure, old versions will be overridden.

modfolder/pak0.pak
modfolder/pak1.pak < Files in here override files in pak0.pak
modfolder/models/ < Files in here will overrride files from ALL pak files.

Hope that helps.
