preload player skins & forcemodel?

[legacy-ll0rt]

Hi. I use forcemodel to gorge and rylisa. Do I need player skin preloading enabled if there are only 2 skins that will ever be loaded? Because I'd like to free up some memory.

no.
even if you don't forcemodel, you shouldn't preload player skins.

BTW does the server need to be running a certain mutator to force skins all to the same one?

No. Why?

I never learned how to forcemodel to 2 different models, like 1 for males and 1 for females. Anyone care to show me how?

thnx

Try using search - note that it doesnt seem to works with everyone (im saying this 'cause it never worked with me...)

Oh and I dont see why you should just think about preloading skin if you only use 2 - I dont think preloading skin cares about the force model and would load them all for nothing... I may be wrong but anyway it would be useless to load "2" model...

No idea, I don't force models outside of UTComp myself, but there have been quite a few threads on it IIRC.

User.ini:

[DefaultPlayer]
Character=Gorge

[XGame.xPawn]
PlacedCharacterName=Gorge
PlacedFemaleCharacterName=Rylisa



UT2004.ini:

[UnrealGame.DeathMatch]
bForceDefaultCharacter=True
bColoredDMSkins=True

Yes it does.

so it does, thanks - gonna turn of preload player skins and this will probably give me a nicer frame rate.

But more importantly it makes everyone big and fat.


Been fragging Gorge since 2002 !

Another solution would be utcomp, you can force any skin and any color ...
