Red Wine Glass Grenade Model for Counter-Strike 1.6 - Custom Inspect Animation

Red Wine Glass Grenade Model Overview

This custom grenade model replaces the standard HE grenade in Counter-Strike 1.6 with a detailed red wine glass design. The model features a high-fidelity representation of a elegant red wine glass, complete with liquid splash effects during throw animations. It includes v_ model for first-person view, p_ model for player hands, and w_ world model for third-person visibility. The inspect animation lets you rotate the grenade smoothly, adding a touch of sophistication to your inventory checks.

Built for seamless integration into CS 1.6 mods, this skin maintains hitbox accuracy to ensure no gameplay disruptions. The textures use 512x512 resolution for sharp details without impacting frame rates on older hardware. Polycount stays under 500 tris per model, optimized for high-fps servers like 100-tick ESL-style environments.

Key Features

• v_ Model: First-person view shows the wine glass held firmly, with subtle sway during movement. Red tint on the glass reflects light realistically in dark map corners like de_dust2's B-site tunnels.
• p_ Model: Player hand integration aligns perfectly with standard CS 1.6 animations, no clipping on models from Build 4554 or 8610.
• w_ World Model: Visible when dropped or thrown, with proper scaling for tactical grenades in bomb defusal scenarios.
• Inspect Animation: Custom sequence allows 360-degree rotation, revealing etched glass patterns and deep red wine fill. Duration matches vanilla timings to avoid sync issues.
• Texture Details: Hand-painted normals for glass refraction, ensuring visibility in low-light areas without overbright hacks.

The design adds atmosphere to casual or competitive play, evoking a spy-themed twist on classic CS 1.6 grenade throws. No custom sounds included to keep file size minimal, but pairs well with clean config.cfg setups for non-steam clients.

Installation Guide

Download the ZIP archive, which contains .mdl files and .txt descriptors. Extract to your CS 1.6 directory: place v_ and p_ models in models/v_grenade.mdl and models/p_grenade.mdl, w_ in models/w_grenade.mdl. Update sprites if needed via the included .spr files in the sprites folder. For wad file integration, merge textures into a custom .wad using Wally tool—total size under 2MB.

• Backup original files before overwriting.
• Test in single-player bot match to verify animations.
• Compatible with MasterServer protection and WON2 authentication.
• Works on both Steam and non-steam installs, including Half-Life engine variants.

No .nav files altered, so bot pathing remains intact on maps like de_inferno. If using custom HUDs, ensure no conflicts with viewmodel offsets—default +0 0 0 works fine.

Performance and Compatibility

Optimized for low-end rigs: runs smooth at 800x600 resolution with max 32 players. No recoil alterations or slow-hack elements; pure cosmetic mod. Hitbox alignment preserves grenade bounce physics, critical for site plants on de_train long A.

Safety first—this mod is virus-free, scanned with multiple tools. No ads, no auto-exec cfg injections, no backdoor scripts. Extract with 7-Zip or WinRAR only, and run a quick antivirus check post-install. Ideal for modders expanding weapon arsenals in private servers.

For advanced users, tweak the .qc source (included) to adjust wine level or add particle effects for shatter on impact. Community feedback highlights its use in role-play lobbies, where the wine glass throw mimics a dramatic toast before defusing.

Enhance your CS 1.6 experience with this unique grenade reskin. Drop it into your mods folder and throw with style—perfect for veterans seeking fresh visuals without compromising core gameplay.
