Hello Simon.
Goto C:\Westwood\Renegade\Data
and find the file that says: stealth_effect.dds
Delete that and you will use the stock renegade one (from the always.dat)

I have been using that Stealth effect made by Niss of UN that kind of adds a slight yellow tint. It's easier on the eyes, though I'd hardly say it was an "advantage" skin. I've never even seen a stealth skin that would be considered to have an advantage. When your stealthed, what's it matter what color your skin is? Unless the skin REVEALS a stealth object. That's the only way I would consider that to be an advantage. Once you de-cloak, your fair game. No matter color you are.
I would personally like to see these allowed. The good ones of course, but I won't lose sleep over if not. Sometimes it's nice to change the way a game looks. If there are "good" ones.

That being said, a much better solution than kicking someone for "invalid file" would be to just force the use of the standard file in always.dat!

Every skin can be allowed, but it's up to the serverowner, not us.

OK, thanks for the info EWD. I hope some servers allow the soft changes, that clear/blue color is just "old" in my opinion lol. Then again, so is this game.

From what I understood, the most important problem with that as is that Renegade preloads assets and reuses them in different games. Simply changing the files that are loaded depending on the current game does therefore not work. I do think it would be better to make it work like you suggest somehow, but it's not as easy as it sounds. It also requires some additional communication between server and client to negotiate what files can be used. This is also not that easy to implement. I'll add it to the TODO list for further investigation though.

It would be very much worth it, I think. Thanks for checking.

I made an sbh skin to test this ages ago. It would make them REALLY white and quite easier to spot at a glance if they are just narrowly passing you. It would also make it easier not to lose them if they get a bit of distance on you. So I dare say there can be an element of advantage in stealth skins.
But if a server is gonna block one and allow another then maybe its just better to have them ALL blocked that way there is still no claim of advantages..
