Depends on your settings. We plan to have a pure mode, limited mode and normal mode. Pure would stop all installed skins from working (you don't need to remove them to play on a pure server), limited mode would allow textures (skins), but disallow model changes and changes to other important data files, a bit like non-pure Renguard. Normal mode would allow everything, like Renegade is now. This is mostly for modders who want to test things on their own server without getting trouble with the anti cheat functions.
Note that these things might get changed since this part has not yet been implemented.

It is a very good idea.
But would cheaters simply be able to use a modified Always.dat with the texture files they want to use instead?

I'm sure there's a way to check for a hash of a "normal" Always.dat file and compare it with the hash of a modified one. That's a possible way to detect cheating attempts.
IDK though.

There should be an option to only disallow skins for sbh, stank and custom sounds as they're the most important advantage skins.
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

I disagree with that.
There was a talk of Advantage skins further up the thread. Changing skins to me doesnt make everything better. It may for the user, not for everyone else. I don't think that Changing my Black Hand Sniper skin to a bright pink one is better. Its an unfair advantage as you can spot the person when you might normally miss them, and it just looks plain stupid.
