Suggestion: More Built-In Playermodels

[QuickNinjaCat]

Hi. Recently, I played Sven Co-Op on Steam, and I noticed that it had TONS of playermodels (compared to HLSDM), and I realized that Synergy only has default citizen playermodels (besides the donator ones, which look badass when you find somebody using one), and I thought: "Why can't the developers add more by default?" Maybe Counter-Strike Source playermodels (maybe just terrorists, hostages could work too) could be added in, with their heads merged onto a civilian body as a civilan player, and then their regular CS:S bodies as "rebels". I think more playermodels would be a nice addition to this game.

Keep Synergy-ing... (Didn't know what to say there.)

Can't you copy playermodels from other games into the Synergy playermodels folder? Or don't they show up in the playermodel selector?

They don't show up in the selector. A workaround is replacing the actual model file, and then decompiling the model and editing the properties so the proper animations are used.

I believe we should use files from the Japanese Valve-Official Arcade version of Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2 Survivor

If the Synergy devs want to go through the trouble of finding those files, that would be nice to have those models.

There's a GMod Addon that gives you the playermodels also with the official Gordon Freeman model. Just use GMad to extract the playermodels from there, or use the links here for the models and a video demonstration:

Maybe the ability to add playermodels to the selection via a script would be nice, although that probably would cause conflicts, as every person on a/the server would need that mod for the playermodel to show up properly.

I didn't add the HL2Survivor_Models because they have to be converted to be used in Synergy as they are just t-pose models currently.
You can try it out on "[BDF]DL Player Model Pack From Workshop" IP: thebdf.org:27018

If you do sucessfully rig the Survivor Models, I dont think they would look very good as citizen models, we should use them for only suit
