Custom Player Models Allowed?

[.jH.dev]

So I saw this amazing IDF (Dust2 CT skin) on gamebanana http://csgo.gamebanana.com/skins/133882, with this skin are you able to play on Competative servers or get you banned considering you are messing with game files? I like it, it's way better than the original player model, I don't need the weapons skins, I mean damn look at my inventory, but I seriously hate the default IDF skin and want to replace it, as long as it doesn't affect me competatively that is.

Modding the game may result in VAC Ban.

Not even from Gamebanana? I'm pretty sure it's on the Valve's OK list as it provided alot of mods for CS over the years. All which were approved by Valve.

Most visuals in FPS games are also double as game factors because even slight changes in shapes and colours can alter visibility for better or worse. Which of course affects your efficiency to respond with free-aim.
Valve takes CSGO very seriously as an eSport rather than an ordinary light-hearted, lightly-thought-out game, so most if not all file changes in regards to model swaps are not permitted within VAC-secured servers.

Rubbish. You do NOT get a VAC ban for custom skins. However you may not be able to join Competitive with these skins.

Never mind then, if I can't use it on competative what's the point, I only DO competative, I don't play anything else. but then again you can use them offline which is also VAC protected unless you play with the -insecure launch option.

Is it allowed to add custom models to a map you're developing yourself? As everyone else would see exactly the same skins surely it wouldn't be an issue, as no one would have an advantage.

*WOLF* - It's allowed to create a map with custom models (even player models).
