I've been doing that in a project. I've put the player at 1/4 scale for large outdoor terrain based gaming. A few things I ran into or did...
* Create one master "scale" constant and use it to factor everything you can * Scale the POV height * Scale the bounding boxes/hulls * Scale the movement rates * Decompile and recompile models with a scaling factor in the QC file * Player models * NPCs * Weapons (w_ models) * View Models (v_ models) don't need to be scaled The thing is, there is no existing master "scale" variable you have access to that just magically makes it all work. You're going to have to run your game and figure out what works and what doesn't. Sometimes when you find things you've not scaled yet it's pretty amusing. Once I'd forgotten to scale the weapon models, so all the (scaled down) players ran around with weapons that were 4x size in their hands.
