Custom Skins Not Appearing On Lotus Clan Servers.

[Atlas 0]

I recently downloaded a custom skin, and noticed that it doesn't show up on the Lotus Clan servers. I tested it on other servers, and it shows up just fine. Is this a bug, or are skins not meant to show up here?

Custom skins are not permitted on Lotus servers.

Ah, I'm assuming it's to block Wallhackers?

Awwwwh man

I just installed a bunch of HD skins (weapons still look much/exactly the same (as do player models and lightmaps etc) just HD versions so it looks more eye candyish

Ps, oops sorry for necro.

It's not worth the aggravation in neco'ing a thread with a post that isn't even important; if you wish to discuss this topic (though many others have too), then feel free to make a new thread and reference this one to it. It's likely Afronanny will rage-lock this.

Some use them to highlight people through walls.

Some use them to make heads different colour so you can headshot better

Some use them to make the characters Anime

Some use them to make the characters just different all together; anime, female (actually quite funny (i've done it)), permanently on fire etc etc

I have used all of them. AND I prefer normal gameplay, much more fun when you have a 50/50 chance at living

Skins also can change cloaked spies visible

Hmm...I'd still not see the need for skinz, I mean, if it added more content sure but meh.

This is probably why Skins outside of Gmod aren't good at all. =\

If you have played CS:S for a few years you know that skins are massively exploited and abused.

Most common is to replace every map texture in the game to a transparent texture.

Zblock is a very common plugin used on alot of CS:S servers that disabled skins or any sort of addon that was clientside, Lotus seems to use something similar, just the SM version. It usually advertises it when you join a server.
