could always post a d/l link on the forum maybe
70 different clan skins installed on every server? It would be a required download for everyone joining the servers. I can see 56k users happy with this, and mismatches online and... I'm afraid it's not happening.HeadCase said:
Plus I believe it would be abused (let's make a skin with special marks to launch &/or colours to be spotted by teammates + 'other' advantages), which is the reason why
Valhalla Avatar (or whatever it's spelled) mod is not used for league.Paa` said:
Differences I notice are:
1. Female skins/models require you to aim at different points on them when launching someone using a female skin/model - whether this is simply because the skin masks a uniform hitbox or not, I neither know nor care.
2. This is purely subjective from my point of view, but people using female models/skins seem to be able to move slightly faster than all other skins, irrespective of player skill ...
3. Warcow - model skin makes it hard to get headshots on it until you're used to knowing where to aim.
4. Skaarj - double tapping sideways performs a somersault/roll. This is the only skin/model which does this I think - this is why the skarrj skin can be a bastard to hit, not because it "lags" or anything. Again, a bit subjective, but the skaarj doesn't seem to go as far when hammerlaunching (self-hammerlaunch) or rocket launching someone using it...

yeah thats what I was meaning to say, not all at once, but maybe too much trouble to arrange for each match?
yeah it might create a problem if clans make very dark skins that are harder to see/hit. Probably only create more hastle than its worth.

thats a launchers dream is that you know that way where to aim on everyone is allways in same place
@Psy: Sorry I cant see any easy way around this problem, but I dont know much about the networking side of things yet so I cant say if theres a way to do this without a mod. All I can think other than that is just leave it to the players to have the force default models on or not.

Well paa thats great idea but i wont stop using my skin just because ppl want to cause its my fucking matrix skin
About the topic:
Lets just say i use 2 skins Male Soldier - Warmachine - Matrix and female soldier - soldier - SARA , well in AS as lots of u know i use Matrix in CTFi i use or Matrix or SARA , the fact is when i use a diferent skin i notice ... why i dont know but i do ...
For exemple i cant play AS any good with SARA ( yeah i cant play any good with any skin lolol )
About diferences COW and Skar are diferent , rest are = except like some of u told in launchs aim , i do know that theres a launch that ppl say its only possible with only one skin...
yeah , i agree whit nekro.. it ownezz because it's easy to know for what clan he playes because there are so much fakenickers playing 
and if i play whit a nickname , than is it after one map : Lo Luwe .. lol dunno how they do that fffs learn me that how u see that , and if u don't do it 
and if i play whit a nickname , than is it after one map : Lo Luwe .. lol dunno how they do that fffs learn me that how u see that , and if u don't do it 
i dont know if thats considered a cheat or not but is it possible to see only one skin i.e. warmachine male skin? - like using default models but just one skin
There is no difference in the size of the hitbox between different skins, as they are simply that: skins. At the end of the day, that's simply a texture.
As for the different skins requiring different points to aim at to launch. To a certain extent this is true. I don't know how many people ever noticed that >ION< always played using the same skin: War Machine Male. There were several reasons for this:
1) It looks cool as fuck.
2) It gave the clan a uniformed look.
3) When is came to certain lauch on a certain map, the lauching player knew where to aim exactly on the model, coz we were all wearing the same. As someone already said, certain skins (mostly) female did require you to aim slightly differently, and when you need to complete a map in xx seconds it's a lot simplier if you know where to aim as easy as breathing.
Another one of those little tips/secrets not many clans knew about. (or if they did, didn't use)
