Custum Teamskin support

[DieHard SCWS]

Can it be possible to have custum skin support for Team Deathmatch ?, would be cool if such a thing would be possible for Team servers

If you mean Custom Skins themselves, the skin in question would have to have the team skins included in the file itself. KDS has a custom team skin pack for the unreal server. Basically there is a seperate texture for each team. The int is a bit different as well.

Yeah i may have just made a stupid post lol  :-[


I think i got myself mixed up with an option to have UTF and EDM have the possibilitty to run different versions of UTeamskins.


A couple a days ago we were talking on TS to have custom skins on our Team server, and we concvluded you can't. But if i am correct that is simply because no-one ever created different Team skins (except the UTeamskins). I may have concluded to fast that this should be an option for patch 227.


In any case i will dive a little deeper in the subject again to find where i went wrong in my thinking  :-? ..............

Do you have a link? , so i can have a look at those, and test it on our server(And add to the downloads).


As for the UTeamskins, the only thing i could think of is, creating different S3TC Teamskin versions. Downside of that would be, only S3TC users can use them. Not to mention that you cannot make too much differences to the normal ones, because it could give S3TC users an advantage over normal users. It is actually a very cool idea cause that way theres no downloads on the server itself, but the downsides.....

Actually, I am thinking I will have to actually include a do not allow replacement of player pawn skins bit of code within my UnrealTextureUpgrade mutator that I am using clientside to autoreplace mesh textures at runtime just so we can keep the Custom Skin stuff operating without interference. Right now the way I have it written I can replace any mesh texture with any other mesh texture...

Grumble...Grumble...rewrite code AGAIN...Grumble...Grumble...

For your information, RealCTF, the mod from which I took the UTeamSkins, does actually come with several team skin sets. So if in doubt, have a look how it's done there.
