skins question

[Frik_A_Frag]

Hi ppl,
I have been able to use some skins and models that I downloaded. However, some seem to not show up in my skin choices for a given model. Is there any other procedure to do besides having the right files in the right places. I have used "UT map manager" to install most of them automagically. I also noticed that some modify one of the ini files. Does this allow the server to tell the other clients what skin to use for my person? And the last thing, If I want to use a diff model like the barbarian are all non standard models banned from online games? Not looking to cheat, so I'll stick to different skins if that's what it takes.

Also - a person I played against online seemed to have a semi-transparent character - effects of one of those "relics" that some servers have? I guess I need to read up on those...

Thanks!

The .utx files go to the textures folder, the .u and .int or .ini go to the System folder.
In order to have a skin available, you must install the corresponding Model. I.E. the Leeloo skin needs the Rumiko model.

How do I make sure the correct skin is used on an internet server?
