I'm currently working on a tool that allows you to set a nummer of custom skins/textures (materials) you use and toggle it on and off.

So when you have chosen your custom skin (in game folder) in the tool you can choose to turn it on or off and off means it automaticly uses the default material.

This way you don't need to go through all the custom material and rename or delete them so you use the default materials, for what ever reason.

Here's a screenshot on how it looks now:

very neat idea for those who like custom content but also need to play in leagues or on content enforced servers.

Hope this gets finished

VERY COOL. Could it also be made where you could choose between skins according to the map? (Winter player models for snowy maps.)

Well, I'm not sure if that is possible when looking at cheat protection, but it might be an idea for the furture though, Ill keep it in mind, thanks!

But this tool reads the selected custom material (vtf or vmt) and renames it to a non default value so the game cannot read them and will load the default values.
And to enable it does the opposite.

The only thing I need to do now it make the code that renames (of whatever) the selected material, and rename it back.

Then I'll could use someone to test it.
