Thomas Aquinas March 16, 2005 Share Thomas Aquinas Member March 16, 2005 I was just wondering if anyone else used custom skins for weapons. I just found a sweet sight that has a lot of ver pretty (and a good amount of crappy) skins for CS:S. www.csdl.gamers-network.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwEEziL March 16, 2005 Share dwEEziL Member March 16, 2005 Best not to alter, esp. if you are in a league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rashad March 17, 2005 Share Rashad Member March 17, 2005 I changed a few in 1.6, but i'm gonna leave my source skins alone for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-wix March 17, 2005 Share k-wix Member March 17, 2005 Do skinners really have the potential to unbalance a game like this? Out of raw curiosity, i can understand some of the advantages that can come of it, but most of the stuff offered here seems to be 'in good taste'.

Fatty March 17, 2005 Share Fatty GC Founder March 17, 2005 I know that using models obviously changes the colors of the people, and can make them more recognizable from distances or in dark...and gives an obvious advantage. I honestly didn't know people had models out for source, wasn't really looking. The other day someone told me they used custom models. Haven't seen any personally yet.

Thomas Aquinas March 18, 2005 Author Share Thomas Aquinas Member March 18, 2005 Oh, I wasn't talking about player models. I just found some cool looking reskins/new models for guns that I liked. Personally my favorite part about it is that the world models are high-poly with most modeled weapons so when it falls on the ground, or when people are holding it it looks a lot better.

dwEEziL March 18, 2005 Share dwEEziL Member March 18, 2005 I don't have a problem using custom skins for guns as long as they don't give an advantage. I used to use a modifed scope for my scoped guns but checked with the server admin first to make sure it wasn't giving an advantage. Some of the "scopes" out there give a huge advantage (remove the black and other things). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice_Berge_00 March 20, 2005 Share Ice_Berge_00 GC Alumni March 20, 2005 There was ways in 1.6 for people to use custom weapon skins to get advantages although I'm not sure what they all were. I used to use custom models since the old 1.6 ones were so blocky and ugly, but when I started playing in CAL I went back to std models since they require it. I can see why they require everyone to be using the same "equipment." It's why any sport has regulations and rules, to keep the only difference between players as their skill.

Thomas Aquinas March 21, 2005 Author Share Thomas Aquinas Member March 21, 2005 For 1.6 I had some sweeeeeet skins, it made all the guns and all the player models look like they were out of a comic book. SUPER heavy black outlines, solid colors, siimple skins. It was really cool looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*BiGBonES** March 21, 2005 Share *BiGBonES** Member March 21, 2005 noob question: If other players have different player/gun skins, do we get to see their skins during the game, or do we just see the custom skins? end of noob question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
