How to change spawn skin?

[Vicker]

Hello!

I have race server. I want when my player and other players spawn to have skin that I want. How can I set spawn skin to skin that I want?

There are 2 easy ways to do it; in meta.xml or via admin panel.

1. In meta.xml of race find name="*skins". Change value (by default cj) to your skin ID.

OR

2. Open admin panel (P key by defaul), select "Resources" tab and double click "race" resource. Find "skins" in the list of settings and change it.

Ok, thanks. And I have another question. How can I make that only admins can have certain skin when they spawn?

That requires scripting knowledge. It's not simple 2-3 lines of code so I'll not code it for you but I'll tell you where to go to learn to script

as a quick solution:

open meta.xml of race resource and add this setting:

<setting name="*adminskin" value="197"
friendlyname="Admin skin"
group="_Advanced"
accept="0-288"
desc="Setting of skin to be used by admins."
/>

then open race_server.lua and change this (somewhere around line 438, mine is edited):

if g_MapOptions.skins == 'cj' then
spawnPlayer(player, x + 4, y, z, 0, 0)

to this:

if isPlayerInACLGroup(player, g_GameOptions.admingroup) then
spawnPlayer(player, x + 4, y, z, 0, get("adminskin"))
elseif g_MapOptions.skins == 'cj' then
spawnPlayer(player, x + 4, y, z, 0, 0)

now in race resource settings you can set skin ID to use for players whose groups listed in race "admin group" setting.

just dont forget that not all 0-288 skins are working (since its a quick solution, i havent added any checks there )
