Skins on GunGame are distracting

[Kasp3r]

Cts have helmets and T doesn't, Are you aiming for the feet?

Some actually do :/

I use the T side leet custom skin that has the white jacket, the only other skin in the server that is white is the default arctic skin on T side and people still shoot at me. That's just them being stupid and blaming their inability to pay attention on something that isn't even a factor. Even when i dont use a skin i still get team attacked. Its just easier to blame the new skin than it is to say oh sorry i fucked up

Exactly ^^

I just wanna say that you're all beautiful regardless of your skin

I know the one for T is often confused and I plan to remove that one. But what one on the CT is causing an issue?

Get rid of this skin, it's too distracting! Can never remember whether I'm running towards or away from it :c

Zero, just get rid of all skins and every map besides Blue Arena, Sex, and Deagle. People don't like anything new to improve the server

Lets keep blue arena and make all the skins blue. Thats the best case scenario

Hey Zero, thanks for all the work you do on the servers / enhance gameplay. As a guy who works in the gaming industry, I appreciate that your servers are not clouded with junk (even on older games like CS:S). I enjoy playing on the GG server.

My comments with the distracting skin was the T skin you mentioned you're getting rid of (black where, from further away, appears as a CT). The only reason I say that is because I have, more than enough times, accidentally shot the admin who was wearing that skin. On a percentage basis, I would say that it happens more often than an accidental TK of a team mate with a standard skin. That was my main skin issue really.

I guess rawr is right though... I could just very well be stupid. But nonetheless, I thought it was something worth bringing up.

Thanks for addressing it. Much appreciated!

There is an easy solution to this. Admins just change a single server variable

from:
sv_allowminmodels 0
to:
sv_allowminmodels 1

This allows players to use cl_minmodels 1 to force their client to use a single model for each team. Win-win. Admins still get their custom skins for most players to see. Players who know what they're doing (they know how to recognize admins anyways) can disable the custom skins if they prefer.

For the record, I strongly dislike custom skins. Kasp3r and rawrr are right, you can tell teams apart by the models. But when I play this game I just want to sit back and relax and shoot at models I instinctively recognize. Hesitating even an instant to decide what team a new (to me) model is on can make or break a round.

Oh, nice suggestion. sv_allowminmodels 1 will enable on next restart.

Thanks, Zero! I really appreciate this change. I started playing this server regularly last summer and it's been great.

I think the combination of this along with removing individual skins that prove to be too confusing will solve most skin-related complaints. A few players will always complain of course. But in my experience on other servers, players who really dislike custom skins seem to do okay learning to use "cl_minmodels 1" in console.
