Steam's Effect On Modeling

As far as I know the games/mods are now just little gcf files. So how are custom models going to be added?
Anyone know anything about this? Cause I doubt the'd get rid of custom models, that's what consistancy is for.

    Open SteamApps and your game folders are in there. I think you can customize from their, not sure though.

    Actually, one of Steam's goals was to eliminate custom files, and force uniformity, so people couldn't cheat like that. What it really adds up to, though, is that now it just ****ing sux to play Half-Life...back to PlanetSide for me...:/

    ERROR

    with mods installed via Steam (CS, DoD), you have to create their folders and then add the roots, Steam will use the custom content and not the "default" content

    Example, a custom GIGN model for CS:

    we would go into SteamApps, if we don't see a folder with our steam account (email) we proceed to create it (example@hotmail.com) inside of it, we create Counter-Strike, and then cstrike, then models, then player, then gign and then we put our custom model there, CS will load that model (it's the same for everything, even for installing custom maps, they took the FAQ down on steam's site, but it'll be back, it was explained very well there). Voilà!

    And, with mods like NS, it's like we always did...

    No, actually, they're designing it to be compatible with custom stuff.

    Well, actually, I've found that no, its not possible to have custom models.

    Period.

    I've tried that strat before, sticking in my customs in that folder.

    Don't work, still.

    It works off of THEIR computers. Don't ask me why.

    But ya, it still forces. I've got 100+ custom stuff for CS, none work. So...ya.

    Maybe it depends if the server is running consistancy checks, and if so it puts the stuff back to norm?

    Nope. All the servers I went on had no consistency checks running, or at least thats what their owners/moderators said, who have direct access to it.

    Its because everything runs off of external stuff.

    Thats why you can run half-life at your friends house just as long as he has steam, without him having to download the game AT ALL. PERIOD.

    Wierd, eh?

    This makes no sense whatsoever. You can't run software YOU DON'T HAVE.

    You can't use custom models for cs because they are in a CGF file which needs to be hacked to be opened, if NS ever is released onto steam there is a chance that the models folder along with sprites and sounds could be all together in a CGF file. In other words, you neeed someone to hack it to get the models out.

    Well, what I said was on the Official FAQ, but it seems like they are updating it now :\

    They'll say how to add custom content anyways, so... <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
