I created a brand-new collection to remaster and enhance the original game experience, which includes this mod. Check it out at the following link: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3421354187

Ah, that makes sense.

Because it makes it easier for other content creators to release skins for this mod in a way that doesn't require them to re-package the entire mod (and therefore makes it compatible with any model/animation updates I release to the mod without them needing to update their version of the mod).
Here's a few examples:

Why is this cut up into 3 addons? Never seen anything other weapon workshop item need this.

Ah thanks

You need to grab the scripts , as listed under the required items in this submission.

The model and the textures are normal in world model but in viewmodel, it looks like I'm looking inside of the textures

To allow for people to use custom textures in place of the ones provided. If I included them with the gun, then if you tried to use a special skin with this addon, it would collide, and the game would have to pick one or the other addon to use the skin from.

No offense but why are the textures separate?

Actually, the opposite is true here. The "scripts" include nothing more than the weapon script change that flips the weapon to be right handed. I've tested this first-hand on Valve servers and had no problem with it.

I purposely avoided the scripts file because scripts always require a local server or singleplayer, and don't work in multiplayers (and often cause problems)

Sounds like you also need to grab the scripts file . Steam is supposed to let you know that certain addons are required, such as this one, when you go to subscribe to the animations. CS:S guns are built left handed instead of right handed, so when you use a weapon that's actually made right handed and tell it to flip anyway, it results in the triangles getting inverted, which is what you're seeing (arms too).

I initially only downloaded the reanimation, which gave me the pink and black checked boxes, so I downloaded the textures but now it looks ghostly, not just the gun but also my character arms are see-through on one side.

Consistency problems should not be prevalent. I successfully connected to several Valve servers while testing, aside for, of course, my own private server, with no such issue.

Regardless, all of the problems you're having sound more like issues with the game files. Try to verify your game cache if need be, as the addon worked fine on a vanilla client (my laptop, where i test addons before release to make sure they work outside of my own computer), my own computer, and apparently everyone else's computers.

Also the addon has consistency problems aswell

It doesn't conflict with any of my addons.

It couldn't be conflicting with another addon, could it?

I've tried all of that, still the same.

I would suggest un-subscribing from it, and then re-subscribing. Restarting L4D2 may help in this instance as well. If neither of those work, then I'm clueless, because it works for me with no issues.

No, I always check to see if it's on and it is but I still get the same thing.

Odd. You didn't accidentally disable it, did you? I've done it more times than I'd like to admit during testing.

Even though I have this addon I still have a cool black and pink checker board skin.
