For Singleplayer replacement extract to:-
C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\username\half-life 2\hl2\materials\models\Mod Name Folder

For Multiplayer replacement extract to:-
C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\username\half-life 2 deathmatch\hl2mp\materials\models\Mod Name Folder

Did you place it within it's own folder inside the models folder. For example, if I had just downloaded the Combine Soldier skin, then there'd be a folder insode my models folder called Combine Soldier.

C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\mad_ferrit\half-life 2\hl2\materials\models\Combine Soldier

The skin files are within this folder.

I am assuming you unzipped / un-rarred the folder first????

What model is it? Can you post a link to the download? I'll download it and check it out.

If it's one that replaces like the combine guards then you might find that the name han't changed, and you cam't see a difference when you select it. But it could have changed in game.

Post the link to it...

Doesn't the server need the model installed and run on. It does the same for Unreal, so it probably does for HL2DM.
Plz Play Unreal Tournament 2004, We need more ppl!
