hi and welcome to this forum (I’m in a gentle mood here :smiley: )

I dunno what you mean with players sounds, but you can say stuff with the vsay menu and sounds are customizable (word?) in mods. There are also a few skinpacks around. But you and the server should always have them both, otherwise you can’t use them because of cheat protection.

Unfortunately, the customization options available in Operation Flashpoint are not possible in Enemy Territory. Most servers run in a “pure” state, which means all game resources used by a client must be the same as those used by the server.

but arent you able to put the in a pk3 file or something

(Rippin Kitten) #5

Sure, but all pk3s and their contents that are running on your client must be the same ones running on the server. So even if you download some alternate player skins, you won’t see them unless the server is running them as well.

no actually it’s quite necessary or everyone could be using very distinctive footstep sounds and fluorescent skins you can see from a mile away

but is this possible when 2 clients have the same pk3

(Ifurita) #9

no, the server has to have the pk3 too

Let me caveat that a bit. It is possible on an UNPURE server, like many Quake servers, where everyone can run their own custom skins, models, and sounds. However, the overwhelming majority of RTCW/ET servers are PURE, for exactly the reasons outlined above
