Forcing an unknown skin to clients ??!!

[Benman]

Well, most admin tools now have a command included to force a skin to clients, mostly used is Allied Airborne and German "something".
What would happen whether or not i have a custom-skinpack on my server, if i would force a for a client "unknown" skin on him ???

I have a rented server, so when something goes wrong with it i have to wait for a reset. And because we play wars every day i don't wanna take that risk of losing the server for a day. Maybe someone with a "home"made server could try it with a few guys.

Just wondering :rolleyes:

From my own testing on this, the skins on the client will be INVISIBLE, it will not show the default ones.

Your not saying the person would be invisible are you?

[Hammer]

NOPE! Only saying that player(s) WITHOUT the custom skins would be unable to see other players when you force a skin they don't have.

Give it a try ... start your game, open the console and type dm_playermodel foo. Then go into the multiplayer section and open the skins portion ... the allie skin should be invisible.

would be kinda spooky to see a friendly gun running around, point at you and blow you away cause an enemy picked up ur gun....

that would be sticking it to ya...
