Green Bandage Grenade Model with Inspect Animation for CS 1.6

Model Overview

This green bandage grenade model swaps out the default HE grenade in Counter-Strike 1.6. It has a detailed look with green wrapping around the body, making it easier to see in dim maps such as de_inferno or the tunnels of de_dust2. The model keeps polycount under 500 triangles, so it runs smoothly at 100 FPS even on older hardware.

All needed files come included: v_ for the first-person viewmodel, p_ for the player-held pickup model, and w_ for the world drop model. These make sure everything fits without clipping problems when throwing or inspecting.

Animation and Detailing

Inspect animations run smoothly, displaying the grenade's texture from different angles. HD textures at 512x512 resolution give sharp edges without aliasing. The green bandage pattern lines up perfectly with the fuse and pin, keeping hitbox accuracy for precise aiming in tight moments.

A custom sprite for the explosion adds a green-tinted flash that's visible even in smoke grenade haze. No custom sounds are included, so it relies on default CS 1.6 audio for pin pull and detonation to prevent conflicts.

Installation Guide

Unpack the archive into your CS 1.6 folder, usually cstrike/models/. Replace existing grenade files when asked. For Non-Steam versions, check compatibility with Build 4554. Steam users on Build 8610 should launch the game with the -insecure flag for mods.

Test on a local server: sv_cheats 1; give weapon_hegrenade. Inspect with +droppickup or the mouse wheel. Check the console log for any errors.

Performance and Compatibility

Built for high-FPS play, the model works cleanly on configs with r_drawparticles 0 and gl_zmax 4096. It's compatible with MasterServer protection and no-recoil scripts, but turn off any sprite hacks to avoid mismatches.

It functions on all maps, improving tactical throws at spots like A-long on de_dust2. Bots recognize the model through standard .nav files, keeping balance in deathmatch or bot matches.

Safety and Features

This mod is virus-free, scanned with multiple tools. No ads, no auto-connect, no slow-hack elements. It's a pure client-side replacement for personal use. Back up original files before installing.

For advanced users, edit sprites/grenade.spr in a wad file editor to adjust explosion visuals. Pair it with clean config.cfg settings like cl_lc 1 for better low-res visibility.

Usage Tips

In competitive play, the green accents help spot the grenade mid-throw against dark backgrounds. Throw arcs stay the same, with physics tied to the default GoldSrc engine. Ideal for ESL-style servers where model swaps are allowed.

Community feedback points to better immersion during inspections, cutting visual fatigue in long sessions. Update your custom HUD to show the new icon if using res sprites.

• v_ model: Detailed first-person grip and throw sequence.
• p_ model: Pickup animation without texture seams.
• w_ model: Ground roll with accurate shadow mapping.

Grow your CS 1.6 arsenal with this grenade mod, focusing on technical precision over flash. Regular updates fix any polycount bloat from early versions.
