thx milwaukee. these skins are awesome. normally i don't like stuff like this, but i tested them and i'm very pleased. the only thing to mention is the "red" dot. it could be more red because in some situations it's hardly visible. i don't think this skin is a great advantage in the game because for example the grand rifle is as imprecise as it used to be with the normal iron sight. it's only a matter of "style" if you wish to use this skin...but it's a great piece of work.
 
I don't like these models either, not because they give an advantage (No wonder some people are so good) But because they are no where near historically accurate, And I hate Pure Mode because I use nothing but custom skins and sounds. Every weapon I have a custom skin, The players I also have a custom skin for, and every sound effect, from bullet impacts to gunshots to magazine changing... I wouldn't really say bright red and bright blue skins give an advantage myself, as cranking the brightness to max will do the same thing, But I'd much rather prefer realistic 2nd Rangers and Waffen SS over Red and Blue silhouettes

Some models and/or skins just make the game feel completely different, and for the better in most cases, I used a custom Thompson model that I liked so much from beta 1.2 all the way until source was released, The animations didn't work after beta 1.3 came out, but the model itself looked and felt better than any other, MGs weren't even put into the game yet until 2.0... anyone remember that serious lag problem 2.0 had after a round was won? *cringe*

ive never used skins on dods but i dont think its unfair to use these. Basicallly you are outsmarting the other person and everyone can download it, its not private or anything.
 
Ok, listen up. It was requested for me to post these up from an old post of mine on the .us site. How many people have skins that are saying this is bad? I see a couple saying they use skins but not ones that modify. But are also saying that anything not distributed with the game is cheating. I play the game, I want to play with weapons that I like. Valve made it possible to change models and textures, so why are you people saying this is bad?

Mil.

One more thing, I do remember a skins forum on the .us site, maybe its something we should look into for this site, since we have so many people who hate it. That way they don't even have to look at it.
 
I personally agree on this, but to my opinion, this customed weapons seem to be an ahead start when it is played, cause you can see clearly with this aim sights, =P but kinda like it though, Thanks but No thanks, =P

when i downloaded them and used them all the m1's and k98's turned purple and had black squares on them. it looked like a purple checkard flag
 
Hey guys, I read couple people complaining of the red dot being not visible enough. So I made couple versions.

1) Bright red dot
2) Bright green "X"

but I am not sure if just changing the crosshair makes this into a cheat.. I don't know the clear line of what is a cheat.... For example, I can also make version where the ring is invisible, or even the entire gun is invisible and only crosshair is showing.. Not sure where it is "technically" or "legally" cheating. I do know video game assets , models and textures fairly well, but I was never a gamer, so I do not know.

Please let me know if I can distribute them on EdgeGamers.... I am NOT asking for your opinion.. I'm asking legality of providing something that EdgeGamers players are asking for. If you are an Admin, or a regular clan member, I am not asking you what you think are cheats.. but I'm asking if anyone for SURE know what is legal. Again... I'm asking for reply in something along the line of

"I know for sure that in EdgeGamers and by disclaimers and terms of agreements stated by Valve...the legality of cheats by custom skins and technical alteration of provided assets constitutes as changing the skin map more than 19% calculated by pixels.. etc...." <<The actual legal data.

I am NOT asking for answers such as:

"I think it would be cheating because, I think...." <<Personal opinion and preference

Thanks!

*ps: Last time I brought this up I was sorta scolded, But at the same time many people in Edge gamers are asking for custom skins with bright red dot. This post wasn't meant to be offensive to anyone, nor is this promoting cheats. It is simply asking what a "cheat" is in legal stand point.

gives the skinned player an unfair advantage for sure. but is it possible to stop people from using them on the server?
 
Yea, I am just wondering on the official standpoint on these.

Having a bunch of opinions up is great, but if someone gets banned for this and there is no set ruling it would look really bad on us.
 
yea i agree with most people on this, this shouldnt be allowed because it gives other people an advantage. Even if these people only get it because it looks cool itll progress to more and more models until you look at ur screen and you dont even reconize its WWII anymore because your enemys are brightly colored, your holding a totally weird looking gun, and the landscape was changed to show your enemies
 
the skin does not chnage the stregh or perssion of the gun
and i cannot change thelandsacpe to show you enemy it just fun i doubt that it rely gives any adavntages
it just looks cool
 
Buffalo Soldier.. the advantage that people are talking about is that compared to the original ironsights it is much easier to aim due to being able to see more. Original one pretty much covers half of the screen using it.

BTW, I don't really want to get custom skins because I actually work as a TD in studios, and have worked in asset creation in video games. But knowing that people are able to download things like scopes that does not block out the outside ring of sniper scope... I downloaded every custom skin that will give me advantage.

It is possible to run a server that does not allow custom skins. Unless that happens, why not download every skin that gives you the maximum advantage? (Except the really bad ones like making enemies appear bright red, even though you can download them)

+1 - I'm going to assume that these are acceptable, due to the thread being stickied in the DOD General forums?

Even though I'm against any skins that defer from the game, I really am considering installing these, because I don't want to be at a disadvantage to other players when I'm using the default sights while my counterpart is using a clearly improved sight.
