2 extra skins are compiled into models
theyre reaching VMT limit as they are now

if you want to add retextures anyway you can either
-use some render hook to edit iMaterials - unlimited ammount of skins but settings will be shared between all weapon instances
-recompile weapon models with different vmt names and switch them(skins AND models) through attachments(done on my XM8) - skin settings could be weapon instance specific this way but its ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ more work

I like the 2nd method. What must I do to get them though? Get this addon, go to my garrysmod/addons folder, use a .gma extractor, get the textures, maybe switch them to .png or maybe get a GIMP plugin that allows easy .vmt editing, edit them and that's pretty much it? That is, not counting the "ADD new texture" thing, but just replace it.

Can you please confirm that procedure? I'd like to do things right at the first moment, if you know what I mean.

well since you omitted the model recompiling and creating "attachments" which would represent new skins, then yeah, that way you will replace current textures/skins with your own without adding more options

as for vmts - they are text files

Hey Knife Kitty, here's a skin I made; {LINK REMOVED}https://www.mediafire.com/?l1x99k6914xjh1a

I made it to match the "Gold/Yellow" colour on all the sights, but ESPECIALLY the futuristic Hologram Sight. I think it's nice, some of my friends think it's nice, hopefully everyone that's not a skin-hating ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ will think it's nice and so on. Do you like it? If you do, would be nice if you added it.

If you can't add it for whatever reason, can you at least give me (or us?) info/instructions/a tutorial on how to add it as an option in the Customization screen?

Also, in case you wanna check them out, they're on my screenshots in my profile. I'm sure I set them public so take a gander.

I might disappoint you but I dont plan on going full CS:GO with sweps I make

Do you specifically mean that you won't add this and other more, or that you won't add any more?

I'm not really into CS:GO, I only made this skin to match up with the Hologram sight. Thought it would be a good addition, although I know size matters in terms of it being little is favourable.

Can I at least get permission to release it to the public? That is if I learn how to make it while having to rely to this addon and so on.

Yeah, sry I forgot to respond. I dont want to add any skins to HK416 right now but I wont tell you what you can and cannot release. You may release it as replacement if you want to.
