SG-550

1. Extract the downloaded archive.
2. Make copies of the original v_sg550.mdl, p_sg550.mdl and w_sg550.mdl from cstrike/models as a backup.
3. Place the new .mdl files into cstrike/models, overwriting the default ones.
4. Start the game and purchase the SG-550 to verify.

If your installation includes a cstrike_russian folder, files there take precedence, so copy the models there as well.

Weapon models belong in cstrike/models. The SG-550 uses v_sg550.mdl for the first-person view, p_sg550.mdl for the weapon in the player's hands and w_sg550.mdl for the model on the ground. Replace these files with the ones from the pack, keeping the exact same file names. Do not place them in subfolders, or the game will not detect them.

• v_sg550.mdl - view model seen by the player holding the weapon.
• p_sg550.mdl - model shown in the hands of other players.
• w_sg550.mdl - world model on the ground.

Some packs also add custom sounds in cstrike/sound/weapons or sprites in cstrike/sprites, so check the archive contents before copying.

Check that the file names match the standard ones exactly: v_sg550.mdl, p_sg550.mdl, w_sg550.mdl. Make sure the files are inside cstrike/models and not in a nested folder. If the game crashes when you draw the weapon, the model may be corrupted or made for another weapon slot - remove it and restore the original files.

Buy it from the buy menu in the rifles section, or use the buy alias in the console. The installed model appears as soon as the weapon is in your hands. You do not need to enable anything else in the settings.

Copy your backup of v_sg550.mdl, p_sg550.mdl and w_sg550.mdl back into cstrike/models, overwriting the custom files. If you did not make a backup, take the original files from a clean installation of the game. Also remember to restore them in cstrike_russian if that folder exists.

On the client side your replacement is visible only to you. Servers with consistency checks may override your model with the server version or disconnect you for mismatched files. Custom sounds and models that differ from the server's files are the most common reason for a kick, so remove them if that happens.
