Zombie Hands

Zombie hand models typically replace the knife models used by zombies. Copy the .mdl files to cstrike/models. The main file is usually v_knife.mdl (first-person view). Some packs also include p_knife.mdl (player model) and w_knife.mdl (world model). If the model is a player replacement, place it in cstrike/models/player/NAME/NAME.mdl.

Extract the .mdl files from the archive. Place them into your cstrike/models folder, replacing the existing files. If the model includes player files, put them into cstrike/models/player/NAME where NAME matches the folder and file name. Always make a backup of the original files before replacing.

For models that replace the knife, no extra steps are needed-just replace the files in cstrike/models. If the model is a separate player model, you may need to select it in the Zombie Plague settings. Check the mod's configuration files for instructions. After changes, restart the game or change the map.

Make sure the model files are in the correct folders: cstrike/models for weapon replacements and cstrike/models/player for player models. Check that the file names match exactly (e.g., v_knife.mdl). If the game crashes, remove the custom files and restore the originals from your backup. Also verify that the model is compatible with your CS 1.6 version.

Delete the custom .mdl files from cstrike/models and restore the original files from your backup. If you didn't make a backup, you can restore the default files by verifying your game files or reinstalling the Zombie Plague mod. After reverting, restart the game.

On most servers, custom models are not allowed and will be replaced by the server's own models. Some servers may kick you for file consistency mismatches. To avoid issues, only use custom models on servers that explicitly allow them, or in single-player with bots. If the server enforces consistency, your custom hands will not appear.

To change the hand model, replace the corresponding .mdl files in cstrike/models. For zombie claws, this is usually v_knife.mdl. If the mod uses a specific model for each zombie class, you may need to edit the mod's configuration files to point to your new model. Always back up the original files first.
