Addition of NEW Human Skins

[JuxyGG 2 / 1,113]

Hello GFL community,

 

I have been playing the server for around a week or two now regularly and noticed that playing as a human gets monotonous seeing the same master chief & public officer all the time. I believe the addition of a wider variety of human skins will both increase player satisfaction with the server & increase revenue (Donator/VIP only skins). As example imagine playing alongside Goku, Batman, Darth Vader, Sailor Moon, Solid Snake, and more (Examples below)!! That sounds absolutely AWESOME!!

 

*Note I did not make these skins nor do I own them, pics are referenced from a popular modding community see more here! -->  Custom Human Skins Already Made

 

Best Regards,

We just added new skins June 13th though.

[kikofly 276 / 5,082]

we already offer a wide variety of skins for vip/donator. 

if you apply for member. you already get 4 additional skins available for free. (2 for humans and 2 for zombies)

some of these skins have been already been added before and was taken out because not alot of players use it.

we change/add skins once in a while depending on the quality and the usage..

To add onto these posts, if we ever do consider changing up skins in the future. Please note that skins that you suggest must be under 5mb (Everything packed). This is because we want to avoid making the download times for users extremely long. Another related point to this is that we are not looking to ADD more skins to the server, but only replace pre-existing skins on the server due to the download time issue.

does it cost money to have more skins? why take them down, add them, remove them, on a regular basis? is there some sort of cost associated with having skin options to players? 

 

I have always wondered this, but just been too shy to ask....

Since the start of the server, it has always more been on the focus of the ZE game mode. So naturally things like tracers, weeb skins, trails, pets and whatever cosmetic addons that are out there isn't on our priority list. The larger the files, the longer the download time and since this server attracts a large crowd of randoms, shorter download times is a reason why some people prefer this server over others.

 

Also, since 2017, skin models being uploaded require a number of fixes to it before we use it in server. It's time consuming and can result in a lot of errors if not done properly.

Just use the renaming trick to replace out the skins on the server.

There used to be one supporter skin, now the insanely long download times have dropped gfl ze all the way down to #1 in csgo.

tbh all of this skins sucks and it made me cringed

[donchill 81 / 4,806]

since the download size of the models is a criteria the only solution would be to remove some skins to add bigger ones and that probably isn't an option either.

a lot of skins where in discussion before the last change/update of skins, most of them failed because of the size.

 

nevertheless i will never give up to add 2B tho

its a one time download and half the maps are bigger than the first time download for gfl

PSE's download is only 10 minutes which is hardly long

Never heard of that issue or experienced it myself, you sure youre not just doing something retarded like uploading the zipped file or something

Ping factors into download time. Higher ping = Higher download time. Also for a lot of new or casual players, 10 minute download time for a community server is considered long. 

 

For the server-side skins, we have to edit the hitboxes in the skins to prevent it from lagging out the server even before we upload it.

I'd much rather have to download a map 20 different times because there's a new version.

I get 150-200 ping to PSE and my internet isn't even that good, unless they're connecting from Russia or China most players ping should be at or below 200

I said PSE's and they probably have well over 100 player models

For ZE in particular? Because I know servers that don't and run fine, if you're talking about so bullets don't get blocked it's not that hard to do.

i feel the same way. anime skins feels not suitable for this server. if you want more skin, just buy donator or vip. but if you want to play csgo zombie escape with anime skins for free, there's a lot of asian server that has it.

sv_penetration_type 0 allows penetration through teammates but still has to calculate everything, causing lag when a bunch of people are shooting.

Editing the actual hitboxes stops the server from having to calculate all the useless stuff.
