I’d recommend watching fish stick on a stick or mönkeys video on this, and no, dont modify the base files

I was not directly modifying them, I had a copy of them in the custom folder. Thanks btw.

basically, I want to make a version of the Russian bear warpaint that is for all weapons, not just the shotgun. The greens will become grays. And I want to incorporate some team coloring, so RED looks like U.S.S.R. Russia and BLU looks like Ukraine. You can even take this idea if you want, as long as you give me some credit and/or a 30% profit cut. I will try to help, too.
