I'm not really clear on what's going on when it comes to skins. When the patch is out, will the auto-downloader insure that everyone is using the same skins?

If that is the case, then I have two comments:
1. What about special skins that mappers put into their maps? Like if a mapper decides to make all the vehicles have snow camo in a snow map.

2. I had an idea: What about "event skins?" Like special skins designed for specific events and holidays? Like a Christmas skin theme for all the vehicles around Christmas time, or a spooky theme for around Halloween? Sort of how like some RPG games decorate their maps and lobbies for holidays.

The idea is that the server can provide these packages and make them required for the clients. The client can possibly have overrides that are allowed by the server (but this is in developement, I can't give details because changes may be made here).

Both situations seem perfectly possible with the current design for the resource manager though. Smile

Carrier i like you but sometimes you're a wiener

i'm also unsure how the patch will affect skins; is the idea to remove all skins to ensure fairer gameplay?

That's (again) up to the server owner. He will probably able to choose between:
- classic mode (game loads everything from always.something (classic skins, or if they're modified downloads those from the server);
- hybrid, it allows certain skins that are approved by the serverowner
- open, it will allow all skins and models.

At a time, someone also said there would be some classes, for example stealth class, which could be disabled. Is this still planned?

I personally would choose to disable any stealth skin / sound and any c4 skin / sound.

That's not a "sound skin", it's a sound that's already in the always.dat.

then the C4 won't have the original file anymore, and it will make you download the original (server approved) file.

and the blocking stealth of skins is easy, just not allow any skins unless requested and checked.

What i mean is that sbh, stank, c4's aren't allowed to have skins (unless verified by the serevr owner) but for all the rest we don't care.

is it possible for an actual skin/model to be verified, i mean its the same file name. For example stealth effect, there is a blue stealth effect and a rainbow, and the blue one is checked and allowed, but the rainbow one is not allowed, so the one with the rainbow one will get the server's one, but the other one will keep his one?
Oh yeah confusing as hell Very Happy

Don't know whether I understood what you meant, but I think you're asking whether the server can allow only specific custom skins? That will most probably be possible.

eg.
Server uses default skin.
Player A has custom skin X installed, which is not allowed. Player A will use the default skin.
Player B has custom skin Y installed, which is allowed. Player B can use skin Y.

People who need fancy graphics and custom skins to enjoy great gameplay ruin the gaming industry imo...
