I have had the same prob as sparks, like...my deagle was pink and black and shottys and shit
proper annoying!!

[skeletor]

That will be because the texture is not found and it is using the placeholder which is pink and black squares.

When i started i had the same problem, found it was a problem/conflict in the materials folder, i just gave up trying to work out which file was at fault in the end and downloaded another. Also i always delete the previous skin before i put another one on, as some of them use five files and others six so if you simply overwrite a 6filer with a five there is still gonna be some remanants of the previous skin, thats when i was getting purple skin syndrome... You sure your using all the files the zip?

[sparksy]

yeah some just wont have it and the hands wont show up either even though i followed guide in bannana. ill stick with what i have or just delite them, some servers wont let you on for matches ive noticed.

some servers wont let you on for matches ive noticed.

Which is bs.
On most of those servers you'll just play with the standard skins, it's not really a problem. I have also changed the cheap standard sounds to very realistic sounds, but that's a different story. You'll get messages with file consistency nonsense.

[skeletor]

servers with sv_consitency 1 should kick you if you have skins or sounds that differ from the originals then when you go back on the defaults should be used.
