What will happen if I use [url=http://www.ehow.com/how_8778779_make-own-gmod-character.html]this method[/url] to reskin one of the stock player models and I join a server? Will the others see me with the default skin, the custom skin, or my client will "fix" my model? What if there is an update in Gmod?
Another question: Is there a way to change my "default" player model? If I use a custom player model and join a server that doesn't have it, my model defaults to Kleiner. Can I make it default to another stock model so I don't have to change models when I enter a server that doesn't support mine?
1. Others will not see your skin if you have gotten it by modifying your own files. This could be done if you had own server and modified server skin files however, since players would need to download them when joining.
2. If you go to single player and choose any of the skins, then join a multiplayer server, you WILL have the same skin you selected in single player UNLESS the server doesn't allow you to choose your skin, such as DarkRP servers which set your skin according to your job.
Thanks for answering. Then I assume I will be able to see myself with the custom skin and the others will see me with the normal skin. Still, will my skin revert to normal when Gmod updates its files?
I was refering to Sandbox type servers, where everyone picks their model. I'll give you a specific example:
Let's say I have downloaded a Gordon Freeman player model and I start using it. Then I enter a sandbox server that doesn't support this model. The server will then set my model as Kleiner. After that I am free to select any other model that comes with Gmod and I pick the male18 model. After a while I am done with the server and decide to play singleplayer again. I have to go and select my Gordon Freeman model again, since my player model is currently male18. What I'm asking is if it's possible to set male18, or any other model that comes with Gmod and is supported by all servers, as the model that will substitute my custom model if I enter a server where custom models are not supported, instead of Kleiner.
You mean changing the default playermodel? (As Kleiner is probably) If that's what you mean, you can't do this without editing LUA I think.
