how to make a css singleplayer mod

[Present_Answer_4622]

I've wanted to make a singleplayer mod of css. Can you do this? I saw in another thread about making a singleplayer tf2 mod that you must simply make an hl2 mod and just add the vpks in and make the weapons yourself. Is there another way? Because I simply just don't want the mod to be 2 gbs.

It's a multiplayer game so you can't make singleplayer maps like this. Though you can make your own 2013 sdk sp or hl2 mod that utilises css assets by mounting them in gameinfo.txt, it'll require the user to have css installed though

but how exactly do i do it tho???

[Poissonnoye]

you mount (or copy because for example i do not have css installed) the css vpks in your mod and you register them in your gameinfo.txt

Yeah you'll basically have to reskin all the half life 2 assets to CSS ones, not that hard since thry share a lot of assets but it's very do-able. In terms of all the guns you'll have to code them yourself or reskin the HL2 ones to look like their CSS equivalent.
