I think this needs to be updated again, because Valve changed the layout again. Please.

Hey, my HL2 Folder only has a save folder, maybe because i haven't run the game on this computer before. EDIT nevermind, however, i still don't have the models folder

This is great for weapon skins.

But how would one do this for model skins?

My HL2 EP2 is using DAT Files so i can't edit some skin =.=".Did have other way to edit skin's?

question, i did this exactly, but there are missing textures on only SOME of the geometry of the skin (ie: on small areas, like part of the grenade launcher on the f2000 skin)

When i go into my HL2 folder there is no materials sound or anything just bin cfg downloadlists maps media resource sav then random .cfg and stuff

dos it woke in garrys mod

Installing skins for HL2 EP2 seems to be more difficult compared to HL2 and EP1.

• HL2: You just install into the "hl2" folder

• EP1: You install into the "episodic" folder.

• HL2 EP2: Skin seems to appear independent of your installation folder ("ep2", "episodic"). I tried installing a skin for EP2, but when I extract the folders into the "episodic" folder, you can't hear the dialogue coming from the characters within the game. It seems that the issue is with the "scripts", because once you remove the "scripts" folder the character dialogues are restored, except the sounds for the skin are back to the default sounds. For HL2 and EP1, the scripts are actually in your HL2 and EP1 directory under "weapons" outside of the "hl2", "episodic", or "ep2" folder. I'll do the same for EP2 and see how it goes.

EDIT I tried messing around with EP2 some more, and the best thing to do is to install the files into the "episodic" folder if you want the characters to speak again, but the drawback is that there's no sound for your new skin. Installing it into the "ep2" folder allows the skin to function properly, but the only drawback is that there's no dialogue coming from the characters. If someone has a solution, then I'm all ears.

@Solidfreak You need to put it in C:/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/hl2/materials/models/weapons/v_hand. It will ask you to replace the hands, say YES!

I got a bunch of weapon skins, but I downloaded a Hand skin, I placed it in the hl2 folder, and it still doesn't appear. Perhaps the skin is broken?
