I never had a high enough compendium to get it legit.
I tried it in a lobby and it looks great, but I'm worried that it may be unsafe to queue matching making with modified files.
This is what the wiki says:
The following will not result in a VAC ban:
Using commands in the console.
Using commands in the Launch Options.
Using cheats in private lobbies.
Using a legitimate third party chat program like Xfire.
Cosmetic modding (models, textures, icons, sounds, text, etc). However, some mods, particularly those that involve a 3rd party program or changes to the game engine, may be considered too intrusive by the VAC system. Cheats can also be maliciously embedded within cosmetic mods, causing unsuspecting users to get banned. Therefore modders should exercise careful judgment.
