Overview A skin changer swaps or overrides in-game textures/models (weapon skins, player models) so clients see different cosmetic appearances. A view model changer alters the first-person weapon model position, scale, or which view model is displayed. In Counter-Strike 1.6 (CS 1.6), these are purely client-side cosmetic modifications affecting only the player’s game instance (except when using server-side model overrides or visible player model changes that other players can also see).
