EDIT: Disregard, you're aiming for client sided (I thought server sided since you talked about editing the map, and you can't join a server if your map differs from the server). But some mods do help on the clientside.
More than likely they apply decals/sprites to the surfaces (like sprays). They also probably use sourcemod.

sprays are one surface at a time and these casts have them replacing multiple billboards at the same time, also in STVs.

Pretty sure sourcemods can do it instantly so long as the decals are predefined. I never said they were using sprays, I said like sprays. Jeez.
You can also create a new surface/object that's directly over the other object and obstruct the view. You should be checking out alliedmodders for this though, as they have a lot of resources for modding the game on the server side (such as texture edits).
EDIT2: As an example, you can have a predefined surface that the decal tool can toggle through. Ie you label a surface Surface1, with property decal that you can change between many other predefined decals Decal1, Decal2, NoDecal, etc. There should be a function to switch between configurations, but you'd have to look more into the mods yourself.

Yup, it's just a folder with the replacement textures of the awesome 'burns.

sorry, wasn't trying to come off as rude. i'd just like to do this without any server mods, and with something that can work in STVs.

Should be impossible without a mod/plugin. I believe mods/plugins will work on STV though, so that's something you have to test out/research on your own.

You can just use custom textures. However they will only work on certain servers.

Wait, is this meant to be server sided or client sided? Although I'm still pretty sure you can't choose a certain surface for custom textures to work (from what I know, it usually replaces a certain model or replaces a texture entirely).
