HE Grenade XMAS Model for Counter-Strike 1.6 - Custom Weapon Mod

HE Grenade XMAS Model for CS 1.6

With this HE grenade model, you can add a Christmas-themed look to your Counter-Strike 1.6 matches. The set contains a detailed v_ viewmodel for first-person use, a p_ player model for third-person appearance, and a w_ world model for grenades on the ground. Custom inspect animations are included, allowing players to spin and view the grenade mid-game, which adds immersion without hurting performance.

Designed to work with Build 4554 and newer, this mod supports both Steam and Non-Steam clients. The files fit easily into your custom.cfg or server configuration, and they keep high-fps rates even on older machines. The model stays low-poly at roughly 500 triangles to prevent lag during busy rounds, while its textures are 512x512 for crisp details on the XMAS wrapping and ribbon accents.

• Complete Model Set: v_ for accurate aiming, p_ for team visibility, w_ for environmental interaction.
• Inspect Animation: A smooth 30-frame sequence that displays the grenade's details from several angles.
• Custom Sounds: Optional Christmas-themed explosion and pin-pull effects that replace default .wav files without conflicts.
• Hitbox Alignment: Matched exactly to standard HE grenade hitboxes for precise throwing mechanics.

Installing is simple. Put the .mdl, .mdl files, and .spr sprites into your cstrike/models folder. If custom sprites are needed, update your liblist.gam. No .wad file changes are required, so your wad stays clean. Test on a local server to check for no-recoil issues or sprite glitches.

For server admins, this mod adds a unique art object for holiday events. It improves visibility in dark map areas such as de_dust2's B-site tunnels, where the bright XMAS colors contrast with shadows. Bots recognize the model through standard .nav files, keeping tactical balance intact.

Safety first: All files are virus-free, with no slow-hack scripts, no ads, and no auto-connect features. It works with MasterServer protection and clean config setups. Avoid combining with high-polycount mods to prevent fps drops below 100.

Grow your CS 1.6 arsenal with this HE XMAS grenade. It suits ESL-style servers that need subtle customizations without breaking competitive play. Pair it with other weapon models for a themed inventory, ensuring hitbox accuracy from all angles.

Technical notes: The model respects GoldSrc engine limits, with no texture overdraw. Inspect also works on w_ models and is visible to spectators. Advanced users can edit the .qc file to adjust animation speeds or add custom decals on explosion.
