Five Seven

Installing a Five Seven model in CS 1.6 takes these steps:

1. Get the model files.
2. Go to your CS 1.6 game folder and open cstrike/models. For a localized build, use cstrike_russian/models instead, since files placed there take priority.
3. Drop the Five Seven's v_*.mdl, p_*.mdl and w_*.mdl files into that folder and overwrite what is there. Back up the originals first.
4. Launch the game and purchase the Five Seven to view the new model.

Every weapon model, the Five Seven included, belongs in cstrike/models. If your game runs a localized folder such as cstrike_russian, put the files in cstrike_russian/models instead, since files there take precedence over the defaults. The Five Seven model is made up of v_fiveseven.mdl (first-person view), p_fiveseven.mdl (player model) and w_fiveseven.mdl (world model).

When your Five Seven model fails to appear, go through these usual causes:

• Confirm the files sit in the right folder: cstrike/models or cstrike_russian/models.
• Check that the filenames match the originals exactly (for example, v_fiveseven.mdl). The game won't load them if you renamed them.
• Make sure the model files aren't damaged or missing parts. Download them again if necessary.
• Restart the game once the files are in place.

To get the stock Five Seven model back, copy the original v_fiveseven.mdl, p_fiveseven.mdl and w_fiveseven.mdl files into cstrike/models (or cstrike_russian/models) again. Without a backup, you can check the integrity of game files through Steam or reinstall the game. Another option is to remove the custom files and let the game fall back to its default models.

Custom Five Seven models function only on servers that permit client-side models. A lot of servers run consistency checks and will swap your model for the server's version or kick you when your files don't match. To stay out of trouble, use custom models only on a server you run yourself, in single-player, or on servers that clearly permit them.

Five Seven sound files belong in cstrike/sound/weapons. Swap the existing sound files for your custom ones, keeping the original filenames. If sound files ship with the model, copy them into the same folder. Check that the file format is supported (typically .wav).
