Five great CS Source mods

Daniel - Nov 12, 2007 - Games Tech

I'm always writing about Eventscripts for Source games; anyway, I've decided to group together some of my favourite CS Source mods that are written for it. There are over eight hundred available, so these are narrowed down a fair bit - but they're all immensely addictive, and great fun.

Update: this article was so popular, I've released a second list of five more awesome mods.

GunGame

GunGame

A levelling mod, which gives you a new gun every time you get a kill with your current one. This results in incredibly addictive action, and is probably one of the most popular CSS addons out there; all kinds of modifications for GunGame exist, including deathmatch mode, ranks, and tens of custom maps.

Starwars Source

Starwars Source

Put simply, this comprises of models, characters, weapons, effects and scenes from the Star Wars universe. There's so much changed that you'll barely even recognise the game for what it once was - and the result is staggeringly awesome.

Deathmatch

Deathmatch

This is CS Source on steroids. All of the traditional guns, maps, and models remain - the only change is a respawn every time you die, and an unlimited choice of weapons. After fifteen minutes of this, your right hand will be sore - no question about it.

Hide and Seek

Hide and Seek

This addon selects one team to hide, one to seek - with an added twist. The hiding players are allowed to choose any model from the map, which makes for hilarity when cars, bodies and barrels appear in all the wrong places.

Bullet Time

Bullet Time

This mod allows you to specify triggers for bullet time to kick in - or, if you prefer to let it work its own magic, you can set it to 'cinematic' mode and let it slow down time when there's enough action to justify it.

This is cool. Ive never seen the hide and seek one before. gungame is rad. :)

Cool list, i just knew about Gungame. I tried to join a Hide&Seek Game but everytime i choose a team i get kicked by console due to a "bypass try". How to fix that?

I'll refer you to the original post:

It would seem that it enforces certain settings; try playing with these: cl_radaralpha 0, cl_minmodels 0 and mat_dxlevel >=90

BlahBlah

I believe the enforcing in Hide and Seek to be broken at the moment. I had it on my server and some people were getting kicked all the time, even though they had the correct settings. Just comment out the blocks that enforce it and it works fine.

Thanks for the tips, i'll try it.
