Anyone working on / produced / released any halloween skins for source?

Been lookin around on various modellers webbys and cant find any - we want zombie or skeleton soldiers for halloween!

Been tryin some skinnin meself for soldiers and not got too far - mainly cut and paste jobs with skeleton pictures and default player skins so...

Didnt effex do skullhead trenchcoat players or sommit a while back - i saw a post on this ages ago but its gotten lost me thinks....

You could alter the textures maybe but you can alter the models or it wont let you join servers - so no skeleton/trenchcoat models will work I'm afraid.

Doesn't DoD:S still use hitboxes, though?

Err yeah but thats got nothing to do with it.

Well if the models are non-alterable, a good skinner out there can just carefully edit the skins :D

Yeah.. Devin Kryss let me turn his trenchcoats into Skullheads for "Old Time DoD".. Unfortunately, as the Great and Powerful Jed has mentioned custom models are a No-Go at this time.. :(

..What about that custom model MP40 that was just released a while ago?

That works. Its just player models that dont.

Will they eventually open them up for custom models, or did MSA just get it's right leg cut off?

Its just a server variable as far as I know thats "on" by default.

Problem is, until theres custom player models that lots of players want to use, no-ones going to raise the issue with server admins so they can turn the consistency checks off. In fact, I doubt many even know it exists.

Likewise, because of the extra effort involved in making a player model for source, few modellers are willing to make models if they can't be used on servers.

So in a sense it cancelled each other out. :(

Ok, so we cant get custom models for this "yet" - but surely they can be skinned - some clever skinner can do it? Lots of black instead of transparency? Mainly its the heads and hands thats giving me the problem - uniforms is sommit i can do meslelf if nes.
