TF2 skin mods and usage

[Enlightened Fool]

Ok. I'm talking about DemoDice from HalfLife2.net (http://halflife2.filefront.com/file/Team_Fortress_2_Demoman_Dicebomb_V2;85861)

1. Ok to use skinmods? VAC and all, and here too?
2. They only show up for me, right?

There are some others, but I'm just asking for the sake of doing it to begin with.

I used to use replacement skins in DoD and DoD:Source. Skins are fine, but model replacements are a no-no and will be caught by either VAC2 or the server's built-in anti-cheat plugins (if any).

Also, check out FPSBanana for a good collection of skins, etc. I don't know if they carry TF2 stuff, but they have one of the largest collection of DoD items.

but on the sf servers the sv_pure is set to 1 so you cant view them. if it was 0 then you could

I don't know about here but I know in some CS:S servers I used to play on certain skins could get you banned because it made other players easier to see. Bright red or yellow skins made it easier to spot people, especially behind cover and a lot of people didn't like this. Like CS:S and people using AWPS, these skins would give snipers an extra edge.
