Models and custom Skins on BW Servers...

[old.DA-Kaneda]

is there anyway of sending custom models and skins for Q3 to Bw, so they can put them on there servers?? We have a clan skin for example, and would like to be seen : ))

hey

I play a little on BW servers.

If you would be kind to tell us the clan website URL and I'll download the skin so that I can see you in your own skin

don't most people forcemodel anyhow?

why would you send them to bw anyhow?

if my client has your model, I'll see it if I don't have forcemodel on ... methinks.

Afaik, if the server is pure, you won't see those skins whatever. Also as mentioned if you use forcemodels they won't so it's a bit of a waste of time using custom models really in general.

Sorry, just to clarify, I should say if the server is pure and the server has those skins/models then yes it should be ok afaik, but if the server is pure and doesnt have the skins then you wont be able to see them (even the client who has selected the skin, will be using Sarge even on their own PC with pure and skins not on server).

Problem is really that to maintain clan skins in Q3 would probably be too much for BW to do I would of thought, especially as this would need to be uploaded to every install of Q3 and BW would need to check that these skins wouldnt be considered as an advantage (some clans have black skins), unless they are using some kind of shared networking maybe for skins.
