How to create custom skins for your server.

Creating custom skins is a significant and valuable feature included with Weapon Cosmetics because it lets you differentiate your server from others, giving you the ability to have unique skins.

Installing Weapon Cosmetics

First, install Weapon Cosmetics using the Mod Manager: Tools > Mod Manager. Scroll down to Brickwall - Weapon Customiser and click Install.

Adding the required files for your skins!

You will need:

A PNG file to use as the skin icon.
A material file that will serve as the skin material.

Steps:

Copy your PNG into: garrysmod/addons/projectzero-weaponcustomiser/materials/project0/skin_images
Copy your material folder into: garrysmod/addons/projectzero-weaponcustomiser/materials/
Add both files to your server FastDL.

Adding your custom skins!

Edit: garrysmod/addons/projectzero-weaponcustomiser/lua/projectzero/shared/sh_customiser_devconfig.lua Scroll to the end and paste the following before the last bracket:

Custom Skin Config Example

[21] = {
  Name = "",
  Icon = "",
  Material = ""
}

Increment the number (21, 22, etc.)
Fill in Name, Icon path, and Material path.

Finishing everything

Restart your server. Ensure files are added to FastDL or Workshop addon.
