I've done a heap of searching and I'm getting nowhere. I would just like this question answered as to whether or not it is possible.
I run a fun server (not serious in anyway) and I want to change things just for a laugh. For example, I want to convert the hostages to mini-hostages. However I'm hoping to do that for a surprise. I have no problems getting the skins installed on my client machine and they run and look great.
Can I install them on my server so that they are automatically downloaded to all clients when they join and are used on the client?
(ie. for the first map played with hostages)
If this can't be done that's fine but I haven't been able to find anywhere on the net to tell me at can or cant be done.
Ok dave here is the break down on what you want.
#1 it CAN be done, but not how you think it can be done.
You must create server side MODELS not skins that are molded the way your skins are. The reason being is because you cannot force a client to use the same skins as you what if the client doesnt want a fancy gun skin or a hostage skin? the game engine will not download or properly install the skins as a client would.
What you CAN do is create server models which are full blown 3d models of the hostages and skin them the way you want them to look this can be done via SDK. Its alot of work and requires a bit of technical knowledge if your up to it you can wiki the solution. Secondly once you have created these models and tested them you must then install a skin manager mani admin has one built in by defualt but if you use sourcemod you will need the plugin. Then you can force everyone to download your new models. This will allow everyone to see the funny hostage skins and anything else you have, but only in your server. Thus making you unique. I have a jalbreak server with custom skins if you would like to see how it works. join 204.8.219.194:27015 the skin chooser lets the user pick which of the skins he wants.
