Pro

Everything is exactly the same as on the Steam version, only the path now GAME/cstrike_custom

Beginner

1. Go to the folder GAME/cstrike_custom
2. Create a folder with the name of your customization using only allowed characters. (if you use non latin, the game will start with an error)
3. We go into the created folder and drop all your customizations there observing the hierarchy of paths. For example awp, knife and gloves.
4. ???
5. Profit.

You can create as many folders as you want, but a large number of them can significantly reduce the loading time.

Newborn

1. Go to the folder GAME/cstrike_custom
2. Create folder cstrike
3. We go to the created folder. (It is important to remember that if you need to install something again, then you always go to this folder!)
4. We install customization in this folder, observing the correctness of the paths.
5. Check out.
6. Complete.

Correct:
GAME/cstrike_custom/cstrike/models/weapons/v_rif_m4a1.mdl
GAME/cstrike_custom/cstrike/materials/models/weapons/v_models/hands/v_hands.vmt
GAME/cstrike_custom/cstrike/resource/gamemenu.res
GAME/cstrike_custom/cstrike/scripts/hudlayout.res
GAME/cstrike_custom/cstrike/sound/weapons/c4/c4_beep1.wav

INCORRECT:
GAME/cstrike_custom/models/weapons/v_rif_m4a1.mdl
GAME/cstrike_custom/cstrike/v_models/hands/v_hands.vmt
GAME/cstrike_custom/cstrike/gamemenu.res
GAME/cstrike_custom/scripts/hudlayout.res
GAME/cstrike_custom/cstrike/weapons/c4/c4_beep1.wav

I don't get anything!

Forget about this.

All checks must be done strictly on the listen server!
If your customizations stop working on a specific server, then the server prohibits their use.

File search order:

1. VPK archives
2. Customization folders
3. Other folders
