Willard Networks uses CSGO props on the server. Understandably so, they're modern counterparts of the props from Counter Strike Source and HL2, with updated textures and poly counts. They're overall prettier and fit more in certain spaces than props from CSS/HL2, such as CCA offices where you'd expect to see higher-quality furniture, and there's a bigger variety of props to choose from, elevating the server's quality and atmosphere.
Despite all the pros, CSGO is essentially defunct with the existence of CS2 (its successor), making using CSGO props a hassle.
To see CSGO props on the server, you can either install CS2 with the CSGO legacy branch, meaning you'd be installing basically two entire games, one being almost entirely obsolete. The issue is further exacerbated if you don't intend to play CS2 at all, because you'd be wasting disk space just to be able to see props on a hl2rp server.
However, you could install just the CSGO props by manipulating the console in order to install just the data from CSGO's steam ID. In my opinion, this is a bit of a hassle and just very silly. I don't think this is a good long-term solution because who knows what could happen; Valve could wipe CSGO off of Steam (very unlikely tbh) or the methods used could just stop working.
Alternatively, you could just install a CSGO prop pack off of the Steam workshop, but with a caveat that you'd still not be able to see all the props that could be potentially used. The one promoted by Staff is about 2-3GB in size and somewhat alleviates the issue, you might still see a few errors but a certain amount of props are visible.
Except it has yet another caveat, that being that it doesn't include viewmodels from CSGO, at least not all of them. This means that you can't see magazines when they're dropped, because they'd be large flashing errors or completely invisible if you use an error hider.
This, in my opinion, is a big issue. It is basically incapacitating if you want to pursue combat. In order to pick the mags up, you'd either have to be very lucky or have someone put it in your inventory using /charsearch or using containers.
Another thing to note is that these addons have a tendency of being taken down, which just adds more logs to the fire, so to speak. Anyway, here are two pics of the most egregious instances.
So far, the only solution to seeing all the props and entities without issue is installing the legacy branch of CSGO on CS2. Ultimately, if you don't want or cannot afford to waste disk space on an entire game and a half you don't want to play, you're fucked.
I hope whoever is in charge of this will at least consider my post because the server's experience is greatly dampened by the above mentioned issues, and I really don't want to remove half of my measly disk space (250gb) to be able to play on a hl2rp server in a satisfactory manner. Thanks!!! /)
