Code Player skins

[PlateFox]

Hay guys.
I was changing the skins programatically and realized KFHumanPawn's skins are ignored.
I did a quick test by subclassing ZombieClot and overriding skins(0) to:

Skins(0) = Combiner'KF_Soldier_Trip_T.Uniforms.brit_soldier_I_cmb'

It worked. The clots appeared green and weird.
Now I did the same to KFHumanPawn. I subclass it and override it's skins, something like this:

Skins(0) = Combiner'KF_Specimens_Trip_T.clot_cmb'

But after entering the game, players still look the same.

I assume is something about the game using the textures from the chosen character and not from it's pawn, becase it is changed (it actually logs KF_Specimens_Trip_T.clot_cmb in postBeginPlay).

I'll keep looking and post the result here for future reference when I find it, but if somebody knows the answer and feels like saving me some time it would be great.

Player skins appear to be solely defined in the UPL files located in the System directory. They're all named after the player characters. These seem to be client-side, so I have no idea if you could achieve identical effects with a mutator.

Apparently it was a Steam restriction of some kind to avoid using models / skinds on characters (i assume becouse of paid DLCs ?).

Anyway, was not a priority issue so I eventually gave up and released without that.
