I am now in the process of testing the final code. Currently if someone enters my server (_Enter Here - 24.129.145.8:27016) and does not have a Ricochet model assigned (meaning none or a HL model), the female model will display.
In addition I have placed a 3rd model called fassn_female on the server which will be downloaded to the player when he/she enters. This model is essentially the female model with the human assassin head. I did this to test out the variability.
Players can change the model by typing the following just like HL:
model male
model female
model fassn_female
I decided to make the format of the models to be "anyname_male" or "anyname_female." Without the "_female" or "_male" the models will not display. I did this for two reasons: One, ricochet models are very different than HL, CS, TFC, etc. and using models from other mods are funny for awhile but get distracting quickly. Secondly, the rico models, male and female, are themselves quite different. Some players have commented that they do not like the female model becasue it does not have the same movements as the male. I personally find the male model distracting with all the flips, jumps, etc. By retaining the "_male" and "_female" parts of the name, players will be able to know what the original model was.
There is one thing that I'm sure someone will notice. Currently only the male head displays on the ground when it has been decapped. To me this is not a big thing but I will look into it. I would rather get the changes out there and see how stable they are.
I will be posting more information on the various models in an effort to start some interesting in making additional skins for them.
