Custom Skins?
« on: September 26, 2011, 09:35:13 PM »
Are you going to make it so we can see custom skins on guns, because i have a skin on almost every class in some shape or form. I was just wondering?

I know people like to use custom skins and custom UIs. The servers are setup as sv_pure 1, which means it will look at a list of files on clients that need to be identical to the files on the servers. The main reason is to prevent basic types of wallhacking and cheating. For example, replacing the spy decloak sound by a loud noise.

But obviously it also means you can't use your own custom skins. Right now, we don't plan on changing that rule. It's something we can decide to change later on though.  :)

I ahve to agree with Plasma on this. Even though using custom skins can bring a fun element into the game, too many hackers use this to exploit the game. I am not for or against custom skins just cautious.
