Prox Kolari Posted April 10, 2002 Posted April 10, 2002 Hi all. I've downloaded a few skins from here and made my own that I'd want to submit, but I've noticed something -- if I make my own server, I can see my own skin. But if I join another server, all I see are the default skins. I understand that if the other players don't have my skin, they won't see it, but I can't even see mine on my machine -- once I'm on a server, it's not among the defaults to choose. None of the added skins are. What's going on? I at least want to see my own new skin for myself.
Prox Kolari Posted April 10, 2002 Author Posted April 10, 2002 Just put the .pk3 files in the /GameData/Base directory. That's where I have mine -- like I said, it works except when I connect to a server, my new skins evaporate. I don't need others to see them, *I* want to be able to choose them and see them myself. Why can't I? In HL, if you're using a model no one else has, they see some plain model. Isn't that how JK2 works?
King_Jay Posted April 10, 2002 Posted April 10, 2002 I read that, that is meant to be right but maybe your doing something wrong.
CiD Posted April 10, 2002 Posted April 10, 2002 I believe in JK2 if the server doesn't have the custom skin, you cannot use it. In HL, I think to add a new skin you replace one of the default models. In JK2, you create new models. If you were just to replace the skins on a default model then I think it would show up.
Prox Kolari Posted April 10, 2002 Author Posted April 10, 2002 That makes sense, but then I'd end up seeing a few people with my skin -- it's probably unavoidable anyway, since if I release this skin someday I'd see a few people with it anyway.
Delmar Posted April 10, 2002 Posted April 10, 2002 prox- did you release that custom skin you made with your face on it? come on, i want to play as tom green!
TheDarkJedi Posted April 11, 2002 Posted April 11, 2002 the reason u cant use custom skins is because everyone uses "Pure Server"s. anyone who has played q3a knows this. i havent checked if u can make a server on jk2 without being pure. i hope someone makes a non-pure surver
