Staff skins.

Rehasher gave me this idea, on the discord when he was talking about having Maccer-skin as his own.

Then I thought, why not your own skins? For an example, the staff can choose a few skins for themselves, if they want. Or create a few skins for themselves. Of course, they can wear these skins when they are on duty.

Fuck no. Why would they restrict skins? New, custom ones yeah. But not the ~303 SAMP comes with. But even then, it's kinda stupid.

no

edit: limiting skins is wack. 

No.

I really don't see a need to restrict skins, at the end of the day we're all players too! It would be a cool idea to have a skin that says like BA:RP STAFF when you pop up on a scene with /aduty on but it ain't a huge deal whether we do or not.

That's actually a good idea. But I don't support the original idea at all.

Initially I thought that the idea of having on-duty admin skins would be neat and fun, but honestly? Despite seeming cool, such a move would probably do more damage in the long run. You'd be forcing them into a uniform -- that not only alienates admins from the community even further, but it also gives them the false impression that they are working in a 9-5 job. I don't really mind if admins want custom skin slots, they can dress as teletubbies for all I care (as long as it's voluntary), but making /aduty automatically switch you into a uniform-wearing skin with BA-RP logos on it is a no-no for me.

Yeah, you suggestion just improves tw1ster's suggestion. The on-duty skin changer should be optional, but this system should be a low priority if it get's accepted.

You don't have to support my suggestion but you can improve it if you want to. I made this suggestion in hurry. So, yeah that is why it is vague.

I 100 percent support the teletubbies idea, make it happen. Haha.

But overall, I think it's a horrible idea to have custom skins for admins, seen this on some other servers, and it was never a good idea.

I don't think it would be fair for us to restrict skins to players, we may give donators the ability to have access to certain server-sided modeled skins as a little thank you for their support however we want all players to have access to everything and personally I think it's unlikely that donators will get server sided skins due to previous discussions regarding donator perks.

The only skins that will be restricted are ones that are used by specific factions and/or could be abused by players.
