Admin Skins

[Spartanfrog]

I installed the admin skins and the skins in game are normal. No admin or anything on it. Its just the regular version. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Installation >> Configuration >> Skins

You either haven't uploaded them correctly or haven't got the right settings for skins in your mani_server.cfg

[Spartanfrog]

my configuration from http://ics-base.net/css_guide/admin_skins.php told me to make a skins folder in the mani-admin-plugin folder, which i did then make 2 folders in that called admin_ct and admin_t. Then all the different classes text doucments in each. Which one should i follow?

[Muppet]

Mani. With Mani, all you have to do is upload the skins parts and it does all that guff for you.

[Spartanfrog]

But the link Mani gives only contains 1 ct and 1 t model. Also the skins folder was not there, i had to put it there myself. is that normal?

[Muppet]

The link i provided was only to setup skins within Mani Admin - not how to add specific admin skins. But, if indeed it is admin skins you are trying to install, then ofcouse use that link you posted.

Im really sry about asking so many questions but the mani says admin_ct and admin_t. Thats only 1 model per team. So do i put all the files for the models in them? Also do i need to configure the reserved skins (which im not using) and public skins (which i want to be normal). I really appreciate all the help you are giving and im sry for being a noob. Thank you a lot.

I would just stick to the guide you were using before (http://ics-base.net/css_guide/admin_skins.php) as it gives more detailed and specific guides on how to setup the admin skins (mani admin was just talking about general skins mainly)

What you might want to keep in mind is that you need a new folder for every skin you have.
So next to admin_t and admin_ct you'd have for example admin_guerilla and admin_sas folders with their configs like the guide tells you.

It still doesnt work. I have these folders:
...cstrike\cfg\mani-admin-plugin\skins\admin_ct\admin_ct.txt
...cstrike\cfg\mani-admin-plugin\skins\admin_t\admin_t.txt
...cstrike\cfg\mani-admin-plugin\skins\admin_gsg9\admin_gsg.txt
...cstrike\cfg\mani-admin-plugin\skins\admin_sas\admin_sas.txt
...cstrike\cfg\mani-admin-plugin\skins\admin_gign\admin_gign.txt
...cstrike\cfg\mani-admin-plugin\skins\admin_urban\admin_urban.txt
...cstrike\cfg\mani-admin-plugin\skins\admin_leet\admin_leet.txt
...cstrike\cfg\mani-admin-plugin\skins\admin_arctic\admin_arctic.txt
...cstrike\cfg\mani-admin-plugin\skins\admin_phoenix\admin_phoenix.txt
...cstrike\cfg\mani-admin-plugin\skins\admin_guerilla\admin_guerilla.txt
Each of the .txt files has the directory of the files for it.

I don't think you do have to put each skin in a different folder.
You have a folder named admin_ct which contains txt files for each skin (these files list all the models and textures the skins use), and at the same level as the admin_ct folder you have an admin_ct.txt file, which lists the skins used for the ct, like this:

"Admin GSG" admin_gsg.txt
"Admin Leet" admin_leet.txt
...etc

And for that example to work, you'd have the following directory structure:

Code:

- admin_ct.txt
- admin_ct
   `- admin_gsg.txt
   `- admin_leet.txt

Similarly for Terrorists. At least that's how I've gotten it to work before.

It doesnt work, but am i wrong to think that mani changes the skins automatically?

[Spartanfrog]

Anyone?

[Pazuzu]

It should work if you've put everything in the correct folders as I said above. To make mani use them, you have to edit mani_server.cfg and play with the section on Custom Skin Control:

Code:

// *****************************************************************************
// Module : Custom Skin Control
//
// Desc : The following cvars are used to configure the options for the skins
// *****************************************************************************

// 0 = Dont allow admins to have admin skins, 1 = Allow admins to have admin
// skins
mani_skins_admin 1

// 0 = Dont allow public skins for normal players, 1 = Allow public skins
// for normal players
mani_skins_public 0

// 0 = Dont force first skin in list for public player, 1 = Force first skin
// in list on public player
mani_skins_force_public 1

// 0 = Allow all skins to be selected via ma_setskin, 1 = Only allow misc
// skins to be used
mani_skins_setskin_misc_only 0

// 0 = Dont auto download skin resources, 1 = auto download skin resources
// to clients
mani_skins_auto_download 1

// 0 = Dont allow immunity players to have reserved skins,
// 1 = Allow immunity players to have reserved skins
mani_skins_reserved 0

// 0 = No menu on team join, 1 = show skin chooser on team join,
// 2 = show settings menu on team join
mani_skins_force_choose_on_join 1

// 0 = no custom skins for bots, 1 = use random public class skins on bots
mani_skins_random_bot_skins 1

The most important of those being mani_skins_admin 1, mani_skins_auto_download 1 and mani_skins_force_choose_on_join 1.

I think that's everything.
