CS skins in HL

[Loc-Dog]

Is it possible to use your existing CS: Source weapon skins together with HL2?

For example having the MP5 instead of the SMG, and having an AK47 instead of the pulse rifle. I see no reason why it shouldn't work, but i dont know how to do it.

almost anything u can conceive in ur little mind is possible in source.
all u have to do is decompile the mdl of the mp5 and smg check what animations and files it requires reanimate accordingly and then recompile . tada instant skin

That sounds very difficult. You should just be able to put your source guns in a hl2\skins folder and it's done.
