Deus Ex Alpha

HeyHey [A]

I've always been flattered by all the cool admin stuff some admins do on their servers, like making NPC's sit and all, and I found this http://www.dxalpha.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=679 from this forum and I'm truly grateful (Thanks Fireball and DoughBoy!!!) !

But I've always wondered if there is a way to change your class/player skin ingame like I've seen some admins do (Not sure if they do it ingame but whatever) earlier. I don't mean the usual UNATCO, NSF, JC, MJ12 skins but regular skins from the game (ex. Businessman1)

If so, what's the commands?

I think this might work out;

First summon whatever class you'd like to be, say, Male2. Then type this:

'admin set human mesh Male2'

And then..

'admin set human multiskins Male2'

I think that'll work out, but if it doesn't.. I'll post something else later..

Thanks for the quick reply! I'll certainly check that out, thanks alot DJ!

I tried it out

First when I put in 'admin set human mesh Male2'(tried pauldenton aswell just in case) every little piece of my character disappeared, right after that I put in 'admin set human multiskins Male2' it remained the same.

So I tried the other way around, putting the 'multiskins' command first and I just lost my face and hands (Glasses were still on, playing as JC) and then the 'mesh' thing but didn't quite work, but hey, I see progress! I'll try to experiment a little myself and see where it's heading! thanks again!

Did you summoned first?

Yep, no luck yet

okay, I tried a few things to get it to work, right now I only got the face textures to be replaced

I opened up my UnrealEd and looked at the properties of Businessman1 (Display->multiskins->[0]=Texture'DeusExCharacters.Skins.SkinTex4') and i put in 'admin set human multiskins skintex4' and I got the face on my character, though the body was still JC's robe and all, but at least I'm getting some progress! Thanks a bunch DJ! I'll check back with you later if I get it working or if you have a solution!

I have another question...

Let's say I start a server, and I'll have my brother join the server and I want to change only my textures instead of both of us, do I replace the 'admin set human..' with his ingame name or what?

Nope, if I remember correctly you have to use his playerid, as in the number he is on the server.

I don't think we can set 'certain' or 'specific' object on the client to be set or something, not through a console command..

I guess I don't remember correctly then.

You can't do that with the default console commands, but you can make a simple mutator with the new commands which would work that way.

or.. err, MMCommands or something like that, the thing Nobody made, it has this set function which set's stuff which are on your crosshair.. yeah? as in the stuff you're pointing at?

Aaaayup. MMCommand's 'SingleSet'

James_Machiavelli, download and install this mod at your server.

But.. aiming yourself.. is hard. You'll have to tell 'your brother' to do it for you..

So, alternatively, you can use MMSkins.

Thanks alot you guys! I'll definitely download it and try it out, might even use the MMskins mod. I owe ya big time!

MMCommand works like a treat! Great mod I seem to have a little issue though concerning MMSkins, It's said in the readme that it needs a special installation if you're using DXMTL, which I am, but that's it. I can't see anything about a special installation in the readme file..

where do I go from here?
