I was thinking, I could make an items and props skin pack for the community for every custom skin avaliable so that people can easily switch between them and not have to hunt down and download one a skin at a time. All skins can be in one pack. No need for seperate files for each one. But keep in mind you can only use ONE skin replacement at a time, meaning you can't have two medkit skins at once. The ONLY way for everyone to see custom skins at once online is IF a server has them enabled as well along with everyone connected to it (like the servers I've set up).

Would anyone be interested in this?


To clear things up, you need to know that there are 3 types of skin mods:

1) A skin only mod which changes the skin on a model, but doesn't edit the model itself. This is the most common type of mod. You can use these in single player and multiplayer. But online only you will see the custom skin, everyone else will see their default skins or whatever custom skin they have installed in their game. This type of mod CAN be in the pack.

2) A skin and model mod which replaces both the skin and model to something in the game. This is the second most common type of mod. However, most of these only work in single player mode because the only way to use them online is to play on a server that has them enabled, which most servers don't. This type of mod WON'T be in the pack.

3) A model only mod, which changes the model but not the skin. This is the least common type of mod. And since it replaces a model, it can't be used online unless the server also has it. This type of mod WON'T be in the pack either.



Makes sense to you now?



So basically it would be a skin pack for everyone's own personal use where you can choose what custom skin for an item you'd like to have while playing.

The skins in this pack would include:

First Aid Kit skins (from both L4D1 and 2)
Pain Pills skins (from both L4D1 and 2)
Molotov skins (from both L4D1 and 2)
Pipe Bomb skins (from both L4D1 and 2)
Gas Can skins (from both L4D1 and 2)
Propane Tank skins (from both L4D1 and 2)
Oxygen Tank skins (from both L4D1 and 2)

Ammo Piles skins (from both L4D1 and 2)
Soda Machine skins (from both L4D1 and 2)
Jukebox skins (from both L4D1 and 2)
Health Cabinet skins (from both L4D1 and 2)
Saferoom Door skins (from both L4D1 and 2)
Ham Radio skins (from both L4D1 and 2)
Vehicle skins for cars, buses, ect... (from both L4D1 and 2)
Stage prop skins (from both L4D1 and 2)

Custom HUD icons

Sub-Machine gun skins (from both L4D1 and 2)
Assault Rifle skins (from both L4D1 and 2)
Hunting Rifle skins (from both L4D1 and 2)
Auto SHotgun skins (from both L4D1 and 2)
Pump Shotgun skins (the L4D2 skins won't work since the model is a bit different)
Pistol skins (the pistols are different models in L4D2 so we can't use those skins in L4D1)


This skin pack will NOT include skins for survivors and infected since the servers here have that for online play and already included in the server map pack. Before I put such a pack together, how many people would actually be interested in this?
