Well, first of all, thanks to all who shown their support to the idea :-). Now let me explain myself a bit...

Really I'm not trying to set a standard here, I just wrote it because I needed an app doing this and there was none available, so I though sharing it could help other admins. Frankly, what I like most of it is the scheduled commands, as it allows you to cast a message at a predetermined time or a full change Round/Obj/TDM; the private clients scan also helps me a lot as I'm running a clan server with some public slots.

About the list I published, I know some of those skins (hitler, oakleave or wolfs urbantiger) were not bright. However on my search I've found altered versions which didn't change the script name :-( Anyway, on the instructions I ask every user to check the list by himself and add/remove the skins to his liking before enabling the bright skins module (every module is disabled by default). Putting a pic of each model could also be great help to decide this, but right now the skin list is just a txt file edited with notepad angel: I will think of it if the app has some demand (thanks rude).

About the default models, included with the game, I don't think they should be banned, but that's just my opinion; I just wanted to know what other users think of it.

An important note: it doesn't detect if "force models" is on. I can't get this info from the dumpuser command (or any other that I know of). But if a user has such a skin selected, my guess is he's using the force models (also, I know of some users use force models correctly, they just are tired of the default ones). Anyway, I think most admins try to catch bright skins with dumpuser. This app just automates the process (think of it, you just can't do a dumpuser every minute on every player on your server).

Although I give it the "beta" status, it's working really well. Despite I know the forced skins detection can be easily avoided by some users (remember, I'm a skinner also), I must say it traps 3/4 users each day who try to force skins on my server (and I don't kick'em, I just ask them to select a different skin).

So if I don't find any errors this week (which I don't expect to), I will send it to aa.com and tmt next Sunday.

Regards
