shield, etc...

I don't think custom skins are allowed.

Do they have readme files?

Thanks for the correction, Toys.

Do you know if you can use custom player skins/models?
If you can, that's an easy cheat.... change all of them to bright yellow for
one team and bright purple for the other. Much easier to tell friends from
enemies , and much easier to spot snipers / campers.

.... just putting my devious mind to (mis)use.

I wish they would include all the best 3rd party weapon skins in CS1.6 as
the originals look absolutely horrible compared to the custom ones.
The original weapon skins look particularly poor when lying on the ground.
Bloody awful in fact, compared to the custom ones.
