Sounds like you just volunteered to do the dev work Lduke ;) Going back to Whispers suggestion - I have one question: What about custom weapon/player skins/models? I use a series of custom skins for my guns because I think the default ones aren't as hi-res or detailed as some of the ones out in the wild.
Totally agree about blocking things like default building textures, and even player skins to a degree, however guns can't really be exploited I wouldn't have thought? Either way, some form of customisable plugin like this would be mad.

It thinks the files are different when the server is Linux and the client is Windows and won't let them connect. It could probably be adapted for Windows servers though. On 5/18/06, Jason O.
