TooManyPolys

This plugin replaces high-poly player models with low-poly versions to improve FPS. Models are replaced in order from most to least polygons, until the visible polygon count is below a limit that you set. The plugin also prevents players from using old model names or unofficial model names introduced by players who copy-paste models and rename them.

Looking for models with a low poly count? Try here:

The model database needs to be updated as new models are released. Run python update.py occasionally or download models.txt and aliases.txt from this repo to keep up-to-date.

Installation

1. Create a symlink from svencoop_addon/models/player to svencoop_addon/scripts/plugins/store/playermodelfolder
2. Make sure the symlinked player model folder has all available player models - default models included!. All player model paths must also be lowercase if served by a Linux host.
3. Add this to default_plugins.txt:
