Map-Based Player Models Plugin

AMX Mod X – Counter-Strike 1.6 / Condition Zero

Latest Update — Version 3.1

This update focuses on stability, realism, and performance, ensuring player models remain consistent across rounds while adding support for HD models, Assassination (as_) maps, and Condition Zero.

Changes & Improvements

Optimization

• Persistent Models Per Player

  • Player models now persist across rounds.

  • Models are only re-randomized when a player changes teams, not on every spawn.

Adjustments

• Team Switch Detection

  • Models are properly reset and reassigned when a player switches teams.

• VIP Model Support (Assassination Maps)

  • Maps prefixed with as_ (e.g. as_oilrig) now support VIP-specific model overrides via the INI configuration.

New Features

• HD Model Support

  • Attempts to load models from cstrike_hd first.

  • Automatically falls back to classic cstrike paths if HD models are not found.

• Admin Command: amx_listmodels

  • Displays all connected players with:

    • Player name

    • Team

    • Currently assigned model

  • Output is sent directly to the server console for live monitoring.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed models resetting on every spawn regardless of team change.

• Fixed models not resetting when switching teams, causing incorrect appearances.

• Fixed players occasionally reusing outdated models after reconnecting.

• Fixed missing file errors when HD models are not present.

Internal Improvements

• Refactored team and model tracking using dedicated arrays for improved reliability.

• Cleaned up client disconnect and spawn handling logic.

• Improved INI parser to handle:

  • Comments

  • Bad formatting

  • Invalid or missing entries

Compatibility & Support

• Counter-Strike 1.6

• Condition Zero (newly supported)

• Classic & HD models

• Assassination (VIP) maps

• Fully backward-compatible INI configurations

Maps not listed in the INI will safely fall back to default models.
