Snowball Grenade Model for CS 1.6 - High-Detail Custom Weapon

Snowball Grenade Model for CS 1.6

This Snowball grenade model replaces the standard hegrenade in Counter-Strike 1.6 with a festive, winter-inspired design. Crafted for the modding community, it includes optimized v_ viewmodel for first-person throws, p_ player model for third-person visibility, and w_ world model for accurate pickups on the ground. All files come pre-configured to avoid conflicts with core game assets.

High-detail textures at 512x512 resolution provide crisp visuals without taxing older hardware. The model maintains hitbox alignment to ensure precise collision detection during tosses and explosions. Polycount stays under 500 triangles for smooth performance in high-fps servers, even on Build 4554 or 8610 clients.

• v_ Model: Detailed hand-held view with subtle snow particle effects on the sprite during flight.
• p_ Model: Third-person animation syncs perfectly with default grenade throws, enhancing team coordination.
• w_ Model: Ground pickup model features realistic shading for better spotting in low-light maps like de_dust2 tunnels.

Installation is straightforward: Extract the .mdl files to your cstrike/models directory and update the appropriate .cfg for weapon selection. Compatible with both Steam and Non-Steam versions, including MasterServer protected servers. No additional .wad files required, keeping your config clean.

Performance and Compatibility

Pair it with a clean config.cfg for optimal setup, disabling unnecessary HUD elements to focus on the throw mechanics.
