How do i have Unique skin in MP

[****COLONEL**** 0]

Excuse me Everybody. Do anyone out there know how can i have a unique skin in Multiplayer Gameplay. I mean even if the host don't have the skin mod i have, i still can retain my own skins and use it in MP. For instance, others are in snow-white skin in Frostbite Map, but i am the only one in other kind of skins.

If anyone have any solutions or any tricks to go about it, pls inform me.

Thanks.

Simply, you can't. The host and all fo the other clients need to have the skin for it to show. In which case, you'd have a mod.

There is sort of a way around it, but it is not totally what you are looking for. I have experimented with this whole idea, and found one way to work it.

Whatever "unique" skin you want to use, the host must have also. And the other restriction regarding this whole thing, is that everyone else that plays with you must have the same character model of your unique character.

Here's an example:

There are four good friends of mine that play on UBI (I know, I know, thats a whole different topic ) with the Navy Seals mod. Each of us made a special character for ourselves using the specialists that can be found in SP mode. With a little tinkering of the MP actor files, and kit restritctions, all of us now get to use our "special" guy when we play. We play with people all the time who do not have our special guys as selectable characters, but I believe they can still play with us because they have the character models from the Navy Seals mod.

So if you wanted to take the specialists from the Frostbite mod and plug them into the MP play...you could use those unique characters, and look cool in the snazzy unis, while everyone else is in the generic snow outfit. But remember, the host must have the unique guys as well, or none of this will work.

Actually, it's not a matter of them having the Navy SEAL mod, but the new CHRs and Skins wont show up for them. You'll still look the same. Only you, and whoever else has your skins will notice it.

That is not necessarily true about others seeing what we look like....because usually people will comment on "where did you get the cool uniform?" With 4 of us running around in these special outfits, people always comment on them. So obviously, I am assuming that they see us in our uniforms, or otherwise they would never comment on them.

Ahem,

So here is my question, can you exspand those "unique uniforms" beyond the 4 actors (Rif, Snp, Dem, Hwp) ?

Or in other words, say 10 of us play in MP and we all want unique skins, is it possible?

Thanks

Well, you could add more ATR files. Or you could change the skins for each class. That would give you a total of 16 unique skins. On eof you could be Rifleman Red team, the other Sniper Green Team. It all depends.

Well, thank you, I have had some limited sucess, my failures though are as follows

1/ GR crash when I try to open "new" skin in MP

2/ I add an ATR file to a platoon but I get no resualts in game

I have tried to use the "Skinner" tool to create the new Chr, is this the right thing to do?

Is there any special folder my .chr and .rsb should be in?

This is a grat fourm btw, thanks for all it has done

This should answer most of your questions.

If GR crashes, open up Ike.log and check the bottom few lines.
