Hi all,

Since 7 months I am running a NOLF 1 server (the PLI thing). One of my rules stated for this server is "No custom skins". The main reason why I forbid custom skins on my server is that custom skins would create extra lag and because I am network limited, I can't use extra lag.

However for 2 weeks, I talked to someone who said that custom skins don't create lag at all... I still think it creates lag because people with custom skins require more bandwidth to send their skin to players which don't have the skin on their computer. But I am still doubting about this issue.. :?

So does anyone know if it really creates extra bandwidth usage / lag and if so, is it much extra bandwidth or is it neglectable? I would like to know this because if the lag issue with custom skins is just a fable, I will remove the rule because custom skins can be fun.

alrighty...i was talkin with neo and me and him decided it would be cool to make a HUGE mansion as a map...and each mapper that wants in on this gets their own room...decorating it however they want...putting secrets wherever...and stuff like that...and we will pick a "captain" for this team that is gonna start the basic layout of this mansion...add some stuff like living room, kitchen, swimming pool, etc.

so if u want a room in this mansion...just sign up...

we prolly wont start it till summer though

How many would be interested in using some of the custome skins out there.

They haven't been used much in the past due to the nolf game engine requiring you to have the files to connect to the server.

But as I assume some of you play other games out there custom skins are alot of fun.

So post your thoughts on this.
