Thread: CS:S - Skip player model selection and force a default model on players

Started 2 months, 3 weeks ago by bianster
Been looking through the SDK for quite a while looking for clues on how to have newly connected players skip the model selection screen on CS:S and instead use a predetermined model instead. I'm quite new to Source modding (to C++ too, but that's another story) so I'll appreciate any pointers

If this is to run on CSS servers, you want to create a server plugin, rather than a mod - and even then, this may not be possible. It depends on how their code (that you cannot see) calls the panel - if its done by the server, then you might be able to interrupt that call, but if the panel is opened automatically by the client after the teammenu closes, there's likely nothing you can do.

As a matter of fact, yes I am running a server plugin with metamod:source so I'm able to hook into certain events, I think. It's just that its not clear to me which calls I should be overriding or even looking into at the moment. I've not tried it yet but the Spawn method on player entities might be a way in, though I'm not sure how to make to make the class selection screen go away.
