GSG9, Arctic, and HDR in Dust

[CSN NewsBot]

Hey look, the site is back up! With the site returning, I happily pass along news that an update was released tonight for CS: Source! Included in this update are fixes for lag compensation, the addition of the GSG9 and Arctic player models, and the addition of HDR into de_dust.

Counter-Strike: Source


• Added HDR lighting to de_dust
  
  
• Resized some crates in de_dust to fix players being able to peek over them
  
  
• Added GSG9 and Arctic player models
  
  
• Improved lag compensation
  
  
• Unified client and server player anims
  
  
• Bot navigation files on disk are preferred over nav files embedded in bsps
  
  
• Bots can use drop-down ladders

Look below for screenshots of the new model and a few shots of the HDR enabled Dust.

what precisely is meant by lag compensation? because for some reason I interpreted that as "hitbox fix" and my heart leaped for joy for a nanosecond or two.

The HDR in dust seems a wee-bit overdone, but a nice addition. The Arctic looks hot (HA... get it? because he's in the arid location of Dust!.. ha), GSG9 looks ok. I guess the CT's really don't have much room for variety anyhow.

Come on... a direct copy and paste of your post from the Steam forums? For shame.

There is word that some plugins may be forcing cl_minmodels 1. It's recommended to check the plugin configuration if that happens.

I freaked out when all I could see was guerrillas and gigns. cl_minmodels 0 did the trick :)

not impressed

sweet update, did this come out of no where or am i just out of the css loop?

[V1OL8TOR7]

I guess the keeping of the Arctic models paves way for a possible source version of survivor? Or perhaps an all new winter-based source map??? One can only hope

The HDR in Dust seem a bit too bright, but overall, nice updates.
