Got Skin?

[Cicatriz]

Here's an interesting question that I never really thought of...

I mean I've looked at them before but I've never used them in TF2.

If you do use them, what are the ones you use or what can you suggest.

 

[Plork]

I only use a few model replacements like the guitars for the pyro axes...actually I think that's all I have installed right now.

never knew you could do it for Tf2 only know about CS:S

 

[Beta]

i USED to, but then one day TF2 wouldnt start so i had to reinstall it -.-

 

[xosniper]

I used a soldier skin for awhile till I reformatted. It would mess me up, sometimes i couldn't tell the red team from the blue team.

 

[Frazar]

Everything... EVERYTHING i have is skinned. Except the new scout weps.

 

[ToiletPastries]

I have about half the stuff skinned. I'm sad that I can't get the bunny ears skin to work :-(

 

[Masterpiece]

I made few skins by myself, really simple with my name on them, otherwise I only use one for the axtinguisher

Edit:

Oh, and a cheeseburger replacement for sandvich

This Tutorial may be obvious and not needed for most of the people here, but since some people in my clan dont know how and I am tired of explaining it to individuals. For this tutorial I will be installing my own skin (ArK's Golden Revolver v2) as an example. This is my first tutorial, so here we go:

1. Start by downloading the skin you want to install and use in game. For example, we will use my skin of the Golden Revolver. you can find the download link here: http://www.fpsbanana.com/skins/35909
(Screenshot 1)

2. Now go to your desktop (SS 2)

3. Open your "My Computer" window, go to your Hard drive disk, Program files, Steam, Steamapps, and finally click on the file with your account name. (SS 3)
The resulting file path so far should be:
C:Program FilesSteamsteamapps

4. From there open up your Team Fortress 2 folder, go to tf, then materials, models, weapons, and v_revolver.
NOTE: If you have never installed a skin before it is likely that you will not have the Models, Weapons, or v_revolver folders in your program files. If they are missing, just make them.

5. Extract the skin files you downloaded from FPSB into the v_revolver folder and everything should be set. (SS 4)

NOTE: If the skin doesnt work, make sure there are no duplicate folders and make sure it is in the correct file path.

Your files for the Golden revolver skin should be extracted to
C:Program Files/Steamsteamapps/"Your Account Name Here"/team fortress 2/tf/materials/models/weapon/sv_revolver

Here's a question... do you folks with unlockable weapon problems use skins?

 

[DNice77]

i'm a purist.... though i do like the cheeseburger idea

 

[O-D-M]

I recently did a fresh install of steam but before that I had some skins. I haven?t gotten around to install the ones I had though. I forget which ones I had but the 2 main ones were:
Beta Skins: http://www.fpsbanana.com/skins/38262
ATHF: http://www.fpsbanana.com/skins/51203

I used to have a hello kitty butterfly knife until I got a virus and had to wipe my computer.
