Hi Daniels,

Well as i wrote with Chris yestoday, I never mentioned that i'm from Valve, i 
don't think valve sent him a post to read, but i want the mails to go through 
the Valves mailsystem. So we can have better overview so the valve devs can 
help on the chat. Because ofcourse i'm glad that he ask about it. And as i said 
yestoday to him, i will forward it to one of the devs to checkup on the 
guidelines, but also if you read the post i've sent him in the start.

But my conclusion from how i can answer the question about allowed or not is 
out from the Guidelines.

Not allowed:
Allowing players to claim temporary ownership of CS:GO items that are not in 
their inventory (Weapon skins, knives, etc.).

You are basically NOT giving the player temporary ownership of an item they 
don't have, because the default player model is something everyone has.

Where the skin changer does so you can claim skins that the users haven't paid 
for, and i remember reading a lot about that, when i setup my Arena server up, 
because it scared me from using the plugin, reading that valve robots are 
banning tokens daily for using this, because server owners are using token 
services.

I hope we are clear.

Best regards
Miguel

Hi Miguel,



Thanks for your answer. But I am asking myself one question according to your 
answer. Who are you, that you are able to answer this question? Are you from 
Valve? Your email doesn’t look like: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>



In case you are not from Valve: Why do you know that a server sided 
skinchanger, that swaps the equipped model to the standard model is allowed?



Would be awesome if someone from Valve could answer this question. We need to 
be sure.



Best Regards

daniels

Hi Chris,

I'm sorry but it's not possible to disable the Shattered Web Character models 
on official servers, you can do it with a plugin for your own server.

Faceit is not breaking the rules because it's not official servers.

"It's not allowed to: Interfering with systems that allow players to correctly 
access their own CS:GO inventories, items, or profile.!"

​It means that it's not allowed to change the models on official Competitive 
Ingame 5vs5 servers, Casual, Dangerzone etc.


Have a good day!

Best regards
Miguel.

I know it's a huge problem that server owners are using these plugins.

Robots are banning user tokens on daily basis regarding this problem, but I 
also know that when the token is banned, their system generates new steam 
accounts and autofill in the new token into the plugin. (Thats a part of the 
skin-changer plugin).

It's really hard to stop, but ofcourse I can see it from your perspective thats 
it's not okay.

But I can only say at the moment that it's still strongly forbidden. And I'm 
sorry to hear you lose many players on this, because you follow the guidelines.


Best regards
Miguel.

Also, I wasnt taking about a client skin changer, I was asking about giving 
players weapon skins/gloves that they dont currently own, on a comunity server 
via sourcemod plugins.

Is that allowed now? Because its like this, Ive been running a CS community for 
over 15 years now. We are following the guidelines and always have. But we 
compete against other servers that dont follow the guidelines...

They offer their players cool  Valve skins the players dont own, and they never 
get token banned.

This means that we follow the rules and we lose players and they break the 
rules and gain players without consequences. This is not fair at all.

I dont think its fair having rules that you dont enforce because the good guys 
gets screwed. 😕

I dont understand. It clearly states:

To be clear, the services that should not be offered on a _community server_ 
include (but are not limited to):

– Allowing players to claim temporary ownership of CS:GO items that are not in 
their inventory (Weapon skins, knives, etc.).

– Providing a falsified competitive skill group and/or profile rank status or 
scoreboard coin (e.g., Operation Challenge Coins).

– Interfering with systems that allow players to correctly access their own 
CS:GO inventories, items, or profile.

For clarification, it is also not acceptable to provide players with custom 
models and/or weapon skins that do not exist in the CS:GO ecosystem.

You should probably reword the Valve guidelines then. Also the guidelines now 
states that we are not allowed to use ANY custom skins. Many community servers 
are using mods like zombie etc that are using custom skins.

And they are banned according to the above rules.

As i mentioned it's against the rules using the skin-changer plugin, so it's 
not something that will be allowed.

I will write it down, and sent it further, then let's see how the devs can 
solve it, in the best way.

If you cant stop it, then please allow the rest of us to run servers on equal 
terms until you find a better solution. Whats the point of hurting only the 
good communites that wants to follow the rules?

Dont you see how wrong this is? Please discuss this with whoerver you need to 
discuss it with. Its not fair and Ive seen good communites go under because 
they follow the rules while others dont.

I know servers thats breaks the rules and never gets banned. Like they dont 
even use the token generators but still nothing happens..

skinchanger, that swaps the equipped model to the standard model is allowed?

Would be awesome if someone from Valve could answer this question. We need to 
be sure.

Hi Chris,

I'm sorry but it's not possible to disable the Shattered Web Character models 
on official servers, you can do it with a plugin for your own server.

Faceit is not breaking the rules because it's not official servers.

"It's not allowed to: Interfering with systems that allow players to correctly 
access their own CS:GO inventories, items, or profile.!"

​It means that it's not allowed to change the models on official Competitive 
Ingame 5vs5 servers, Casual, Dangerzone etc.


Have a good day!

Best regards
Miguel.

Hi

I have a question regarding the Valve Guides lines for CSGO server owners. Its 
says its not allowed to:

"Interfering with systems that allow players to correctly access their own 
CS:GO inventories, items, or profile.!"

So my question is: Does this mean that we can't inactive the new player models 
that people keep complaining about? Its possible to disable them with Sourcemod 
plugin.

 I know Faceit has disabled them, so are they breaking the rules? Or is it 
in-fact allowed?

I know it's a huge problem that server owners are using these plugins.

Robots are banning user tokens on daily basis regarding this problem, but I 
also know that when the token is banned, their system generates new steam 
accounts and autofill in the new token into the plugin. (Thats a part of the 
skin-changer plugin).

It's really hard to stop, but ofcourse I can see it from your perspective thats 
it's not okay.

But I can only say at the moment that it's still strongly forbidden. And I'm 
sorry to hear you lose many players on this, because you follow the guidelines.


Best regards
Miguel.

Also, I wasnt taking about a client skin changer, I was asking about giving 
players weapon skins/gloves that they dont currently own, on a comunity server 
via sourcemod plugins.

Is that allowed now? Because its like this, Ive been running a CS community for 
over 15 years now. We are following the guidelines and always have. But we 
compete against other servers that dont follow the guidelines...

They offer their players cool  Valve skins the players dont own, and they never 
get token banned.

This means that we follow the rules and we lose players and they break the 
rules and gain players without consequences. This is not fair at all.

I dont think its fair having rules that you dont enforce because the good guys 
gets screwed. 😕

Ämne: Sv: Re: [VALVE] Disable new player models

I dont understand. It clearly states:

To be clear, the services that should not be offered on a _community server_ 
include (but are not limited to):

– Allowing players to claim temporary ownership of CS:GO items that are not in 
their inventory (Weapon skins, knives, etc.).

– Providing a falsified competitive skill group and/or profile rank status or 
scoreboard coin (e.g., Operation Challenge Coins).

– Interfering with systems that allow players to correctly access their own 
CS:GO inventories, items, or profile.

For clarification, it is also not acceptable to provide players with custom 
models and/or weapon skins that do not exist in the CS:GO ecosystem.

You should probably reword the Valve guidelines then. Also the guidelines now 
states that we are not allowed to use ANY custom skins. Many community servers 
are using mods like zombie etc that are using custom skins.

And they are banned according to the above rules.

As i mentioned it's against the rules using the skin-changer plugin, so it's 
not something that will be allowed.

I will write it down, and sent it further, then let's see how the devs can 
solve it, in the best way.

If you cant stop it, then please allow the rest of us to run servers on equal 
terms until you find a better solution. Whats the point of hurting only the 
good communites that wants to follow the rules?

Dont you see how wrong this is? Please discuss this with whoerver you need to 
discuss it with. Its not fair and Ive seen good communites go under because 
they follow the rules while others dont.

I know servers thats breaks the rules and never gets banned. Like they dont 
even use the token generators but still nothing happens..
