I'd assume you just copy them into the valve/models/player/[modelname] as always?

kam

those folders dont exist from the install now, its jus some GCF file there isnt any real defining folders

tried creating the folders yourself? usually works for things like this

It's a bit more crazy but for the most part the guys are right. There are several paths the different pieces have to go, depending on how involved your player model is. Here is the folder structure for HL2DM as I understand it. This is normally found in;

<font color="red">X:\Steam\SteamApps\<username>\half-life 2 deathmatch\hl2mp</font>

The custom files are marked in red. Remember not all of these files are "needed", but if the custom model comes with them put them where they need to go.
