Counter-Strike: CZero Deleted Scenes Skin for CSS
- A Mod for Counter-Strike: Source.
I like what you've done by porting the CS:CZ Deleted Scenes weapons,haven't used the mod itself but from the screenshots I can tell that I can see some flaws here and there. What I actually did was download the mod and see what you've done with the VMTS.
Giving the gun and arm model the phong shader was a ok idea but It has to be tweaked a little, I think that the Goldsrc style lost itself here a bit due to adding normalmaps. Also it's weird how you didn't created normalmaps for the character models itself,maybe because you wanted to keep the goldsrc style into them?
Atleast you have made custom normal map textures which is a great combination with phong on the guns,but again. the CS:CZ guns didn't needed normal map at all because it's already good. A few normals lack detail and others have way too many detail,but that's not a big deal.
Aside from the phong-talk I had there,the animations,playermodels,sounds and even the VGUI are just great. I don't really see any flaws with it,specially with the animation you've done a excellent job with that part. Sometimes the playermodel acts weird with guns in their back but that's just nitpicking.
Edit: The first time I saw this mod I thought it was a weapon pack of some kind but not really,it modded many things that I mentioned above. You only focused on taking screenshots of the CSCZ guns instead of the playermodels,menu and others. I only noticed that the mod changed more than the weapons when I downloaded it and used it in-game.
What I recommend you to do is to create a alternative version of the mod without the normal maps and phong shader.
TLDR: The normal maps and phong feature was not needed,you could make a alternative version of the mod without these.
TLDR 2: FLAWS
The phong shader was badly used,making the arm and gun model way too shiny/sweaty/oily.
Quality of the gun normalmap is doubtful,a few are of them are good and others are just bad.
Should have considered making a alternative version without the normal mapping & phong feature.
The guns models itself didn't needed the support of normal maps or shaders.
The pack itself has a great idea though but honestly the older version was better than this one in terms of originality. Cheers for the origin fix though.
