When installing models, skins, sprites, etc. to a folder that you dont have, just right click and make a new folder in the last folder you do have. The folder you make should be labled accordinaly.

* v_models and w_models folder names for specific guns (v_model is the weapon you see in first person view. The w_model is the weapon you see in other player's hands and on the ground).
