Adding custom uniform skins to maps?

This is a quote from a previous thread, hope you don't mind Shurek. If someone could take a little time to explain how to get custom uniform skins into a custom map, it would be sooooooo awesome. I am trying to reverse engineer Kolno and for some reason I can't find the bulk of the code to do this. I thought it was either on the roleinfo, standard role, or the custom added role actors but I was wrong. Is there a way to include all of the files into the mylevel part of a map? I'm assuming its not as easy as changing out tank skins and since I am just starting out in coding any help would be appreciated. I thought this topic was important enough to create a new thread to help all mappers. Thanks.

For God's sake - don't say that!!! He's bad enough already with the messiah complex.

this thread should help a little,
http://redorchestragame.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=18093

in theory you just create a custom pawn and a RoleInfo (better a roleinfo parent class, nincely named to fit the scheme, with the subclasses in there)
Then you do what described in the thread i posted above so your skins also get used on a dedicated server and are pushed to clients too.

Thats it, no black magic
