Please view this page in internet explorer, not firefox because HTML codes i put in do not work in firefox.


I apologize in advance for blurry screenshots, (i have a wide screen monitor) and fpsb won't me upload them

Ok for anyone who wants to know how to put custom admin skins in your server, you have come to the right place.

Go to the following website: here

And download the skins you want. Open the .rar file once it has finished downloading.

Click on the Cstrike folder, and drag it onto your servers Cstrike folder.
Note: This will not replace any files your server may have on it, just press yes to all

Open the readme.txt and you should see some lines similar to:


models/player/ics/predator_rawr/t_leet.dx80.vtx
models/player/ics/predator_rawr/t_leet.dx90.vtx
models/player/ics/predator_rawr/t_leet.mdl
models/player/ics/predator_rawr/t_leet.phy
models/player/ics/predator_rawr/t_leet.sw.vtx
models/player/ics/predator_rawr/t_leet.vvd
materials/models/player/ics/predator/ct_gign.vmt
materials/models/player/ics/predator/devices.vmt
materials/models/player/ics/predator/devices.vtf
materials/models/player/ics/predator/devices_norm.vtf
materials/models/player/ics/predator/limbs.vmt
materials/models/player/ics/predator/limbs.vtf
materials/models/player/ics/predator/limbs_norm.vtf
materials/models/player/ics/predator/torso.vmt
materials/models/player/ics/predator/torso.vtf
materials/models/player/ics/predator/torso_norm.vtf

Open notepad, and copy and paste the lines located in the read-me.txt

Save the notepad as "predator.txt" or whatever the skins is called.

Now, go into your server's files so it looks like this:
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\killme1337\source dedicated server\cstrike\cfg\mani_admin_plugin\skins

Note: Again, your lineup may look different but as long it is in the mani skins folder it will work the same

You will see folders that say:
admin_t
admin_ct
misc
public_t
public_ct
reserved_t
reserved_ct

Drag the predator.txt into the "admin_t" folder.

Open up the admin_t.txt and then add the line:

"Predator Admin" predator.txt

The name in quotes is the name of the skin while the admin is choosing it, the predator.txt is showing where the files can be located, you can rename the "Predator Admin" YOU CANNOT RENAME THE PREDATOR.TXT
You are basically telling mani what the .txt file is called, and that .txt is telling mani where the pieces of the skin/model are placed.

Almost done!

Now, go into your server's cfg folder and you should see a file called mani_server.cfg

Open it with notepad, and then scroll down to the skins section (it is near the bottom about 4/5 of the way down)

You will see 8 options... Set all of them to 1 so they should look like this:

// *****************************************************************************
// Module : Custom Skin Control
//
// Desc : The following cvars are used to configure the options for the skins
// *****************************************************************************

// 0 = Dont allow admins to have admin skins, 1 = Allow admins to have admin
// skins
mani_skins_admin 1

// 0 = Dont allow public skins for normal players, 1 = Allow public skins
// for normal players
mani_skins_public 1

// 0 = Dont force first skin in list for public player, 1 = Force first skin
// in list on public player
mani_skins_force_public 1

// 0 = Allow all skins to be selected via ma_setskin, 1 = Only allow misc
// skins to be used
mani_skins_setskin_misc_only 1

// 0 = Dont auto download skin resources, 1 = auto download skin resources
// to clients
mani_skins_auto_download 1

// 0 = Dont allow immunity players to have reserved skins,
// 1 = Allow immunity players to have reserved skins
mani_skins_reserved 1

// 0 = No menu on team join, 1 = show skin chooser on team join,
// 2 = show settings menu on team join
mani_skins_force_choose_on_join 1

// 0 = no custom skins for bots, 1 = use random public class skins on bots
mani_skins_random_bot_skins 1

Edit them all to look like so. Then save it and get back on your server.

Now, you should just have to change the level on your server for the skin to take effect.

Sorry, i will no longer be able to help with things regarding this tutorial via x-fire from now on, i got a new computer and it x-fire doesn't seem to work, PM me and i will try to work something out

Once you understand this you might want to take a look at my other tut.

Pros: you got a lot of what most players need to know
Cons: you need to explain it as you would to a person that has never did it before. not every 1 wants to know just how to place 1 skin
Improvements: explain a lot deeper as to what they are doing and why
Notes: most every thing is perfect. while adding the skins like the super sailor moon II skin.
the "predator" predator.txt will defaultly be admint.txt or coolt.exe and vice versa adminct.exe or coolct.exe. and you can name "Predator" to any thing exaple "admin1" admint.txt
"name" and the admint.txt is in the folder telling the mani to read that file so i needs to be the same as the txt in the admin_t folder.

hope that patches up any questions on that.
thats what stumped me.
