Change Log

Spoiler

Notes

The skin change was achieved by changing the weapon "m_nSkin" netprop value.
For spawner entities the "m_nWeaponSkin" is also changed to the same value.
If the map, by default, changes the skin of a weapon, this plugin won't prevent it.
When the weapon is already equipped (active) I had to apply the skin also to the "m_hViewModel" netprop, otherwise there is some delay on skins changes.
Not all weapons have new skins and some aren't so different from the original one.
The currently supported weapons are:
Melees: Crowbar, Cricket Bat
Pistols: Magnum
SMGs: Uzi; Silenced
Shotguns: Pump; Chrome; Auto
Rifles: M16; AK47
Sniper: Hunting Rifle
Gascan
These weapons have 2 new skins: Magnum; M16; AK47, the others just 1.
Total of 14 new skins from 11 weapons.
The gas can skin isn't affected by this plugin.
By now, 29-September-2020, there are no more skins available.
The plugin may not work properly for clients that use addons to change the weapon appearance.
Enabling gascan RNG skin may glitch some plugins that check the skin to detect if is a scavenge one.
I don't know if it conflicts with the "Golden Crowbar" achievement.

To Do

Create a config to select the % chance to apply a different skin.
