TMP

First, back up the original files. Then extract the downloaded archive and move the .mdl files into your cstrike/models folder. Overwrite the existing files when asked. The usual files are v_tmp.mdl, p_tmp.mdl, and w_tmp.mdl.

Put all TMP model files in the cstrike/models directory. For a localized version, the game might also read from cstrike_russian/models, and files there take precedence. Avoid putting them in subfolders like player unless the model is a player skin.

CS 1.6 has no in-game menu for selecting weapon skins. The game automatically uses the files in cstrike/models when you buy the TMP. To switch between different TMP models, you need to replace the files in that folder.

Verify that the file names match exactly (e.g., v_tmp.mdl) and are in cstrike/models. Ensure the model is designed for CS 1.6, not another game. If the game crashes, remove the custom files and restore your backup. Also, restart the game after changes.

Remove the custom TMP model files from cstrike/models and restore the original files from your backup. Alternatively, verify the integrity of game files in Steam to re-download the default models. After restoring, the standard TMP model will reappear.

Yes, custom TMP models are client-side and will show up on most servers. However, some servers enforce file consistency and may replace your model with theirs or kick you for a mismatch. If you get kicked, remove the custom files or use a server that allows custom models.

Yes, you can rename the TMP model files to match another weapon's file names, such as v_mp7.mdl, to replace that weapon. Keep in mind that animations and sounds may not align perfectly, so the result might look odd. Always back up the original files before renaming.
