How would it benefit the server: It gives a nice look to the weapons and is a great opportunity to welcome a new type of cases to the DarkRP servers.
Potential Issues/Exploits:None
Additional notes:
In this suggestion i will present you skins for weapons in DarkRP, these skins will overlay your weapon and make it look Awesome! These skins can range on about 1 Million to 20 Million depending on the skin. You will be able to equip and unequip the skins.
General
Now, i understand that you can not quiet imagine this, so i put a few hours in to this and made a Weapon skin all by myself and an icon inside of the inventory.
The image above is the weapon i have been working on, you can have a better look at it by clicking on it. This is a skin for one of the most used weapons 'Dragunov' also known as 'SVU'. I made this skin by extracting the m9k weapons and opening the VTF file with an VTW File Viewer, after doing so i took a screenshot of the materials and edited it myself. Now since this was not a 3D editor it was a pretty tough job but i got it finished.
Inventory Item
The picture above shows the skin inside of an inventory, you will be able to equip and unequip the skin just like a Suit. After equiping the skin the next time you equip a Dragunov you will get a Skinned Dragunov.
Weapon Skin Case
The picture above shows a 'Weapon Skin Case'. You can get 1 case per booster pack. The case works just like all other cases and it gives you the ability to get a Weapon Skin. The image below shows how it looks like to open a Weapon Skin Case. There will ofcourse be more skins!
Thank you for reading my suggestion, it would be great if you could reply to this topic with your oppinion about the Weapon Skins!
