Now, I'm making this thread to see how many people would like to know how to make it so your server has it's own player skins (like what you can get from fpsbanana for the classes, weapons, etc). Now many have told me it's impossible. So I decided to do some r&d and try my best to make it happen.

The result?
A success. I know how to do it. The only reason I have yet to implement it is the time it can take to decompile mdl files, changing the parts I need to in it, the recompiling them. I just haven't felt like doing it yet.

So yea, your server -can- have it's own skins for each weapon, etc.

So before I go about a tutorial, who actually wants to know?

If you mean changing an individuals skin only and not the skin for everyone playing a specific class, then yea, please tell. Although if your method involves editing the ctx file to point to a different mdl file for the server to use then its been done. But again that method changes everyone.

Yes it is the method of changing the .ctx file, but that method (assuming you know how to do it as well) can be quite complicated.

And as for individual skins, I have a concept of a SM plugin that would make it work, instead it would fetch a set of different .ctx files per listed individual and such.

Doesn't the forum speak for itself? It's been requested regularly, so of course everyone wants to know.

TF2 handles player models client side. I assume they made this change because different players see different models for the spy.

Since they are handled client side, you can no longer change a player's model individually from a server plugin like you can in CSS.
