I failed to backup my default players models, and im not happy with my custom ones.

How do I restore them? I tried deleting the game, and DLing again, but strangely that did not work.

I even deleted the players folder but the game still ran on the custom models...weird.

help please

The default/official models and skins are in the dod .gcf, for both 1.3 and source. Your .../dod/models/player folder is where customs go, and so long as there aren't any in there, the game will revert to the ones in the .gcf. Just make sure you're deleting the .mdl files in that folder, then there's no reason why the game shouldn't use the default ones.

Are you sure you're not using the defaults and the customs just arn't working? If you delete the folder they're in, they're gone, and I don't think you can add files to the GCF.

Make sure you deleted the materials folder, instead of the models.
