Need help with Skin mod/USMC

[DeepRecon 0321 0]

Hello all...

I was in a game the other day, and the host's team had the USMC uniforms. Now I'm not sure if it was the team color that gave them the uniforms, or if it was a serversided mod that only the host needed to have, and anyone could choose this uniform, or what.

My questions are:

...anyone know of this mod? I'd like to download it if it's serversided.

...is there a USMC mod that let's you have the USMC uniform for any game you join (not hosting)

...can i replace the skins in the origmiss folder with the usmc skins from a full USMC mod?

...do i need 3dmax to make my own usmc uniform mod?

ok that's enough Q's, you get my drift.

Any info regarding this topic will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Deep

Also, am I the only one who joins an MP game and there are two riflemans, two demo's, (etc...) to choose from? One having all the kits available, the other only having the standard kits. This also happens when I host a game.

Try our Skinning FAQ to answer some questions.

The only way this was in a mod is if you had it also. If memory serves, if you were on an Island Thunder map and on Gold team they have the USMC uniforms.

As for your second post, this could be soemthing that specific host had; because kit restrictions are not server-client.

So, inorder to have a certain uniform in an MP game is for everyone to have that uniform mod?

Or... how could i make (if possible) a serversided mod that let you choose a certain uniform that just used the character files of the Marines in the IT mod?

And regarding your answer to my second post: It's not a kit restriction, ie, I'll host a game and there are two riflemans, snipers, etc... but the second set of characters only have the standard weapons, and the first set has all the weapons of the mods that are active. Understand? I find that this only happens when Frostbite1.1 is activated. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

*Edit-- yes, Gold team on IT maps have the Marine utilities. I guess that host didn't have a mod after all, like you said.

Well, if it happens when FB1.1 is activated, then don't join a server with it on. It seems to me the FB Dev Team setup MP to be like that. They must have wanted to not worry about so many kits for people to sort through. I'm not sure.

As for server sided mods... that gets real tricky. But I'm almost entirely certain that ATR file (what you would need to edit to make it so other people use USMC Skins -provided in IT) are NOT server sided.

Both players would need the mod. However, this mod would be significantly smaller than the rest. (only a couple KB). The problem you run into is using a Jungle uni on a desert map.
