Addons and Maps for all FPS Games at ModDB

ModDB provides a number of addons for different FPS games like Counter Strike 1.6, Counter Strike Source, Call of Duty 4, Call of Duty 5, Battlefield, etc. The Mods are the modifications done to the game to change the game a little bit so that the game play differs a lot.

For example the Hancock mod for GTA SanAndreas is an addon for the game GTA but it will put a new feature into the game that gives the players a whole new experience while playing the game.

This Modding includes combining the game play o two different games to make a game much better in terms of the game play.

For example the M16 with M203 is a model for the counter strike engine which will change the look of the weapon in the game. The installation of these weapon skins include simply replacing the weapon resource file in the counter strike installation folder with the new one. In this way the look of all the weapons can be changed in the game counter strike 1.6.

Also the addons like AMX Mod X and Admin Mod are used for the administration of the server hosted by a player.

Apart from addons the site contains lot of maps which can be downloaded and played in the game. These maps are new ones developed by different creators and are freely available for you to download.

High Definition Movie Download Sites of Counter Strike 1.6/CZ and File Download Directories

Counter Strike Movies are more famous than movies of any other game played online in the mere range of time. The main advantage of game being the feature to record the games both in first person mode called the personal demo and normal demo mode in which the view point can be changed to which ever possible view as in normal Spectator mode or the HLTV spectator mode.

Movies:


The best method of practice than any other is to see more and more number of demos and videos played by professional. The frags may see unreal sometimes which are some way look so because of the movie making skills and the camera angles and video effects. In any case, viewing more and more number of Movies and Videos. The normal movies from YouTube and other sites will not show you the crosshair in many videos because of the low quality ripping and output. The videos in the site YouTube are ripped to .flv format. It is better to get the videos in .wmv or .avi or .mpeg format. The size difference between these formats will be largely varying with an FLV Video of 20MB size ranging from 200-300MB of the AVI, WMV, MPEG Videos. But if you have a very high speed Internet connection and if you have the downloads limits much higher, you can get the Videos from the sites,

  1. http://www.eswc.com/info/resources_videos
  2. http://downloads.noobwars.gr
  3. http://www.gotfrag.com/cs/files/category/1/

These site will have a good number of HD Movies and you can search for many more. I will give you a small tip to get what you require from google.

Videos and Files:

You might have tried many times to download some maps and addon files like AMXX plugins, MetaMod, GUIs, aim_maps and all. What you need to search for while you need these files is just a small keyword in google. With the keyword you can get only the directories of files in a website, which will allow you to download the files directly one after the other. These directories will give you mainly a great number of configs used by professional. These configs are nowhere available other than website file directories. But you can get the most famous and most used configs from the Internet websites like sk-gaming, some other websites.

The keyword you need to search for is

  1. index of /cstrike
  2. index of /counter-strike
  3. index of /cstrike/addons

Its like this, the simplest way of getting the files form google.

Demos and Stuff:

Additionally, you can get the demos form HLTV.org. HLTV.org has a very good collection of HLTV Demos which you can download for free with out any registration or anything. Also you will get the complete information of the demo you are downloading before downloading itself. It has almost all the demos of the professional gaming leagues. You can even browse and search the demos in the website to download the exact matches and the teams which interest you much.

You can even get some demos of the tournaments and leagues from the website I have given you previously. It is downloads.noobwars.gr and it will provide the demos up to 4GB.

Zipped Demos:

One more important thing is that the demos when compressed to .zip itself, you can get a compression ratio of around 0.2. Which means you can download the zipped demo at 2MB which is actually of the size of 10-12MB.

Also, the HLTV Demos can be of much lower size than those of personal demos. A personal demo would take around 70MB for a 15 round match, where as the HLTV demo will take just 10-15 MB.

So it is better to record your own demos to HLTV type demos and also, it is better for you to compress while transferring the files.

StatsMe 2.8.3 an Addon for MetaMod for Counter Strike 1.6/CZ in Game Statistics Display

What is StatsMe:

You might have seen many Counter Strike 1.6 Stats pages on the web in many websites. That can be done by PsychoStats package which allows the Counter Strike server administrator put the stats in the web. It would not show any stats in game while you are playing the game or spectating. But no worry! Here is another package which allows you to see stats in game for Counter Strike 1.6/CZ. It is StatsMe. StatsMe 2.8.3 is the current latest version of StatsMe released. This is an addon/plugin used for MetaMod. This plugin does not require AMX Mod X and both are two seperate plugins for MetaMod. And MetaMod is again an addon for Counter Strike and all of its Versions like CS1.6, CSCZ, CSS.

Why StatsMe:


StatsMe provides the most comprehensive statistics of the game. Its features include,
  1. Player Ranking
  2. Event Annoucements
  3. Attackers/Victims stats
  4. HUD stats
  5. Most Damage Done by
  6. Best Score
  7. Team Stats
  8. Headshot Announce
  9. Last Man announce
  10. and many more...

How to Install StatsMe:

Firstly you need to have metamod installed in your Counter Strike installation. If you have installed AMX Mod X or Admin Mod previously, then you will have the MetaMod installed. Else, to check this out, just go to your Counter Strike installation folder and see for cstrike. You should have a folder named addons, in your cstrike. Then go to addons and you should see folder named metamod. This MetaMod is what we are talking about. Or if you dont have the metamod folder see the section below,

MetaMod Installation:

Download the metamod.dll file from http://www.metamod.org/ you will get a zip file extract it and paste the metamod.dll file in cstrike\addons\metamod\dlls. You need to create the metamod folder and addons as you dont have them previously.

Now, you need to edit the liblist.gam file. For complete explanation search for the post "Editing liblist.gam file" in this blog posts. Or I'll give you explanation very briefly.

Open Cstrike\liblist.gam with notepad, add the line gamedll "addons\metamod\dlls" in place of gamedll "dlls\mp.dll"

StatsMe Installation:

  1. Download the package from the link given in this blog posts. Or go for the keyword download StatsMe 2.8.3 Latest in google search.
  2. Once you get the package, extrat it to some folder.
  3. Copy the statsme folder to addons folder, paste it in the folder where metamod is.
  4. Now open metamod folder and add a file named plugins.ini
  5. Open the file with notepad
  6. Add this line win32 addons\statsme\dlls\statsme_mm.dll
  7. Thats it when you start the game, you can see statsme stats.
  8. Stats are displayed after the end of the round.

StatsMe Commands:

You can get the statsme menu when you give the command statsme_menu in the console. But it asks you password. So, first give the command "sm_menu_password pass" and then "statsme_menu pass". This should show you menufront type of menu. You can configure statsme with that menu.

HLTV Skins and Models - Addons for Movie Making

It was in 2007 ESWC there was CS1.6 final between PGS vs NOA. I came across the Video in youtube and I found the HLTV of ESWC is Modified with some skin or Addon. I don't know what it is but that really made me think about it. See it here,


The addon is giving the info health and players alive on both sites with such cool animations. A title bar is present on the top which is giving the team score. It must be definitely an addon for HLTV. Assume if you can make such a video of your own. Thats too cool to just assume.

What I want to know is,
  1. Is it a HLTV Skin?
  2. If yes, is it available for all or only ESWC uses it?
  3. If yes, where to get it?
  4. If not available, are there any similar addons for HLTV?
PGS Vs NOA ESWC 2007 HLTV Skins
I googled this keyword for a hundred times but I endup in nothing but hltv_models.rar. I have searched the topics in HLTV.org. Searched it in gotfrag, fpsbanana etc...

According to My Opinion:
  1. HLTV must officially release a skin of such kind.
  2. HLTV should have addons which can do much better for moviemaking.
  3. CPL, ESWC, WCG should have their own skins and should make a public version and make it available for the public.
  4. These Models or Skins or Addons what ever they are should be added to their GUI package.

I am desperate to make a video with those addons.
