I understand about downloading skins into the main file as pak3 files etc. However:
1: must my soldier skin also be on the servers computer? as my new skins appear in my multiplayer menu, but not in the mutiplayer game when viewed by other users. I still look the same - not as I think I look.
2: once loaded how do I select the various weapon skins and sniper scopes? Again in multiplayer the weapons look the same?? Is there some key to press to scroll between default and standard weapons?
Or am I missing the point??????
Someone please clarify. Thanks
