We did use this one: zeAxis2, and 3.1.8 enforced it on our players. Which caused quite a bit of trouble after the upgrade, because it wasn't present on the download server and I didn't notice it was enforced (I liked it and had it already within my etmain).

ET Pro doesn't purposely force it.

Come on,one version to the next.
Please answer question why,instead of sounding like John Kerry.
you're telling me it wasn't on purpose?
I realize you think the average player age is 14 or less,but really...

answer the question oh know it all...
If the powers that be wish us not to use skins,jjust say so.
65.162.161.20 if you wish to ban the ip,just thought I'd save you the trouble of looking it up.
The overall thought here is that people who use skins cheat,would you like to discredit that too?
Far be it for me to incur the wrath of the etpro community.
But because there are no more active modders for et,we are forced to deal with----???

booger, stop being an arse and read the replies. They've said all you should need to know.

- there is no conspiracy (no, they're not trying to ban skinpacks)
- are you sure your skinpacks don't have mdx/mdm in them? (check)
- maybe only use final releases of etpro then? (3.1.0, and wait for 3.2.0)

Jackal it isn't conspiracy theory,just something the average noob might think
paks work,then they don't.
So you're telling me that the basic code for the mod changed enough to trigger the force download?
Any modification would affect the md5 of the file would it not?
And I'm forgetting the spirit of the mod,competition.
Might be 'fun' , I can't remember.

You've had it answered about 3 or 4 different times in plain English.

Perhaps badly translated German will do better?

ET erfordert alle Datei 'referenziert' auf dem Server (das heißt, hat der Server Dateien aus ihnen heraus geladen) existieren auf dem Klienten.
ET erlaubt packt, die auf dem Server sind, aber nicht referenziert, existieren um vom Klienten OPTIONAL (z.B. Haut packt, Laut packt.)
b_realHead auf etpro 3,1,8 benutzt mdm und mdx dateien.
Einige Haut packt (z.B. zeAxis2) enhalten mdm dateien.
Wenn mdm dateien benutzt werden, das paket ist referenziert, und folglich ist es erforderlich auf dem Klient.
Ältere Versionen von etpro benötigten nicht diese Daten (weil sie nicht die b_realHead hatten), und diese packt wurden folglich nicht referenziert.
Die gegenwärtige Version sollte nicht .mdm/.mdx dateien referenziere mit b_realHead abgedreht (zinx sagte bereits, daß es ein Programmfehler ist, das örtlich festgelegt ist, wenn es die Daten mit dem abgedreht b_realhead lädt)

Es ist simpel, ja?

the file you refrenced has a md3, which is i believe what was meant by mdx... this means it's refrenced by the server and by the client which is the requirements for forced download... turn the realheads off and then your clients shouldn't need to download it...

The skin pack (zeAxis2) has mdm files (Einige Haut packt (z.B. zeAxis2) enhalten mdm dateien.)

The md3 files within the pk3 aren't referenced, but you're otherwise correct (the mdm files are referenced.)

Well it seems it would be non-trivial to make b_realhead 0 not load the models and still have it switchable without restarting the map, so just extract the .mdx/.mdm files from the pk3 on the server, and everything should be fine :/
If the animations differ, though, you'll want to either not use the pk3, or make sure people download it (Unless you don't mind b_realhead being wrong or disabled)
