how to change arms in a demo ???? (between original arms)

every map has a different players model and different arms.

i saw 1day a video of csgo fragshow and the arms are same in any map
i think its possible without a program

Edit: Technically you can do it with a texteditor, but I'd recommend MIGI tool by Zool.

it would have helped me if there is original models of arms to download...
i dont want custom models.

plz show me how to change arms with a texteditor . i think thats gonna help me a lot

The original models can be found with GCFScape: https://valvedev.info/tools/gcfscape/
MIGI also has a Discord where you can ask for help: https://discord.com/invite/UmE9JG7

I think it's easier to do it with MIGI than replacing all relevant entries in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\scripts\items\items_game.txt manually.

Edit: Actually I gave a wrong file. I think it's really best to ask on that MIGI Discord.

if i use MIGI i cant use HLAE :/ ? right !!??
because i have to launch the game from MIGI .

[dtugend]

Afaik you can use both together, a it says here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/adlo6y/migi_the_ultimate_tool_to_load_and_combine_mods/

Supports HLAE ("-game migi/csgo" in its launch options)

Sorry for late reply, was watching the Echoes Of 2019 CS:GO frag movie release party and the watched it a few times on YouTube after that xD

MAGI is really easy to use . thx bro :)
i tried MAGI models from discord....it change gloves not arms.
i didnt find what im looking for . i want to change Terrorist arms to piirate arms

[dtugend]

Option is to use MIGI to replace the arms models:
I really don't know too much about MIGI, so I don't know how hard or easy it is to replace other existing models, but it should be possible and not too hard with MIGI.
Edit: Please note you need to replace the model with MIGI, editing gamemodes.txt / demo file will do nothing.

[dtugend]

Basically you need to make an own MIGI addon:

I'll give an example how to replace the default normal sleeve of a CT on de_mirage:

• in migi addons folder create p_pirates\models\weapons\v_models\arms\sas folder path
• inside p_pirates\models\weapons\v_models\arms\sas extract v_pirate_watch.mdl, v_pirate_watch.dx90.vtx, v_pirate_watch.vvd from the pirate one using GCF scape and rename it to v_sleeve_sas.(same_ending_here) accordingly.
• Hit "Generate Migi" button
• Launch CS:GO from MIGI
• Now that sleeve should be replaced in demo as well (on the screenshot is a CT in-eye veiw):
  

I hope you get the idea.
The model names for each map can be found in gamemodes.txt in csgo folder, the _arms line is usally ignored.

Edit: gloves should be replaced with the bare hands one from the arms folder in the original GCF I think

the skin is still not black and it didnt remove the gloves . so it only add the watch....!

[dtugend]

Hi, the gloves can be fixed, however the problem is the skin color, apparently it's proceduraly generated :(

I will move this issue to advancedfx-nSkinz as feature request

[iqhl]

but you did it bro , how ?!! what's the problem now !?!

[dtugend]

The in-eye skin color / type is sort of hard-coded in CS:GO in a sort of table for each known player model (at least that's what it looks like in debugger).
So I changed the value in the right place with a debugger for testing, but it needs to be coded prorperly e.g. into advancedfx version of nSkinz, otherwise it's not suitable for normal users I think (sorry).

.......i think this is going to take a looong time!! so is there any solution ?
i just want to make a frag video :[ im not gonna live forever xDD
there is a way to do it because i saw many video with that model.
