📚 How to add default or workshop model

Step 1: Locate the Model Path

1. Open the workshop .vpk (or pak01.vpk) file using Source2Viewer or GCFScape.
2. Navigate to find the .vmdl_c file. Copy its path.
3. Replace .vmdl_c in the path with .vmdl.

The path should look like this:

characters/.../xxx.vmdl

[!IMPORTANT] replace .vmdl_c in the path with .vmdl

Step 2: Setup MultiAddonManager (Workshop Model Only)

1. Add your workshop ID to MultiAddonManager.
2. Follow the instructions provided on the MultiAddonManager GitHub page.
3. After adding the ID, switch the map once to initiate the download of the addon by MultiAddonManager.

Step 3: Config PlayerModelChanger

See the Configuration

🐞 Common Issues

• You should use the compiled model (suffix .vmdl_c)
• You should use .vmdl instead of .vmdl_c in config json
• If your model don't have animation, try to switch the map once (to make multiaddonmanager download the model)

example:

AddonConfig	
	{
		"VpkDirectories"
		{
			"exclude"       "maps/content_examples"
			"include"       "maps"
			"include"		"characters" // this is the directory you want to add to the vpk
			"include"       "cfg/maps"
			"include"       "materials"
			"include"       "models"
			"include"       "panorama/images/overheadmaps"

			"include"       "lighting/postprocessing"
			"include"       "postprocess"
			"include"       "addoninfo.txt"
		} 
		"AllowAddonDownload" "1"
		"AllowAddonDownloadForDemos" "1"
		"DisableAddonValidationForDemos" "1"
	}

Step 2. Launch Counter-Strike 2 Workshop Tools, then click Create New Addon

Step 3. Go to folder ./game/csgo_addons/<your addon name>/ and paste your characters folder to here.

Step 4. Open Asset Browser, then click the Tools button on the top-right corner, open Counter-Strike 2 Workshop Manager

Step 5. Click New button in the Counter-Strike 2 Workshop Manager, fill in all the information, and publish it.
