I want people to join my game and get a Q menu with an arbitrary skin...
So what's your actual problem then, any errors?
First guess is, you have a file in autorun/client where it belongs, but is there an AddCSLuaFile() call in a serverside file to actually send the client your file?
Well, it doesn't even work when I listen (I automatically run the file that way, right?). Skin is the same. No errors. There were errors until I timer'd it. I'm guessing that's cause the script runs before the GM initializes.

I'm hearing that there's a problem with GAMEMODE:ForceDermaSkin(), is this true?
[QUOTE=KD007;43794867]Well, it doesn't even work when I listen (I automatically run the file that way, right?).[/quote]
Yeah that should work then.

If you want to use function GM: then it needs to be in the gamemode code, not in autorun. Use hook.Add instead.
[QUOTE=KD007;43794867]I'm hearing that there's a problem with GAMEMODE:ForceDermaSkin(), is this true?[/QUOTE]
I haven't used it myself, so I can't say. Put a print statement in there and see if it prints. I'll give it a try now.
[editline]5th February 2014[/editline]
[lua]hook.Add("ForceDermaSkin", "Foreskin", function()
print("FORCING DERMA SKIN")
return "black_orange"
end)[/lua]
This prints for me.
I added a print to the skin file and it didn't print. Then I realised, do lua files in the skins directory get included automatically? You probably need to actually include the skin file.
I'll do that now and report back.
[editline]5th February 2014[/editline]
You do have to include the skin file yourself, but I still can't get it to actually show.
This is my two files I was testing with, in singleplayer.

[b]lua/skins/black_orange.lua[/b] I've just changed everything to red to see if it even works, and added a print to DFrame paint (never prints)

So unless I'm missing something, it seems the ForceDermaSkin does get called but it doesn't actually affect anything.
I'm going to try overriding derma.GetDefaultSkin and see if I have any luck.
[editline]5th February 2014[/editline]
I got it working! I just need to figure out what I did.... It was either removing the _ in black_orange, or calling derma.RefreshSkins()
[editline]5th February 2014[/editline]
Hmmm. The above code seems to work for me fine after restarting gmod,, without needing to call derma.RefreshSkins()
It affects the DFrame opened by the test command I added, but it doesn't affect the sandbox spawn menu for some reason.
