Skin. What is a skin and why is it needed?

Passing some game in single mode and without encountering multiplayer, you can not guess about the existence of the word "skin". What is this skin, we now try to understand.

Why skin?

There was a word in itself, no exceptional history behind him is not worth it. From English, skin is translated as "skin", but in gaming circles it is treated as "skin". They determine how the game will look like this or that, and since for a single game such "skins" are practically of no interest to anyone, they are most often used in multiplayer to boast to other players or simply stand out among the general mass. Most of the skins are additions and are not included in the standard set of game objects, but recently more and more games are released, where they are almost the main entertainment and are of great interest for gamers.

Why are skins so interesting?

You do not need to go far to understand why almost any skin is so popular. What are these "skins", we have already figured out, it remains only to understand the desire of the players to have them. Here everything is quite simple. All of us in life faced with such moments, when people began to hunt for something fashionable, whether it was clothes, equipment or something else. In games there is almost the same situation. New objects almost always become fashionable and popular, but only the most beautiful and rare of them are the same popular and remain, and all the others are simply forgotten. By and large, the developer himself sets this style, for example, by setting a high price for the item, making it rare and difficult to extract, but often happens so that the community of players extols the thing to a high level, thereby increasing its value and demand. The conclusion can be made the following: the nicer the thing for most gamers and the higher its rarity, uniqueness, the more popularity it gains.

What are skins of SAMP?

Many people think that the words SAMP and skins are something similar, but in fact it is not. SAMP - San Andreas Multiplayer, which is a multiplayer mode for this game. In other words, it's a mod that allows you to play on servers with other gamers in a well-known and old GTA: San Andreas. A separately downloaded SAMP client, the toy itself and the high-speed Internet will provide an opportunity to plunge into the world of wonderful bandit history along with a large number of the same fans. Here it is already worth thinking about: why do we need skins of SAMP? Realizing the meaning of these words, it is not difficult to guess that together they can mean only that for the game in multiplayer we install for ourselves some shells or "skins" that are popular among other users or unique and that please us only. We hope you understand the word skin, what it is and where it came from, so we move on.

Weapons from CS: GO in GTA

Still some couple of tens years people and gamers did not call themselves, and now they are thinking about where to get hold of beautiful and expensive virtual things, in fact, are nothing, except the picture on the screen. In the distant 90's and could not think that two completely different and popular games - GTA and CS - will once intersect, but it happened, and the fault was the same skin. What can this "skin" give from one game in the process of another? You have to be a gamer to understand this.

Counter-Strike is a popular worldwide shooter, and Counter-Strike: Go is the newest version of the old toy, which many remember from version 1.6. So it was from here that people dragged many popular things, that is, the shells of "CS: GO" were in GTA, thereby there was an original and insignificant merger of these two greatest developments in the gaming industry. Since there is nothing in the shooter, except shells for weapons, gamers and GTA fans dragged themselves to them, and everyone already chose weapons to their liking, which led to the emergence of a variety of packs with certain sets of trunks and knives. This is done, again, for visual beauty and variety, but not without the popularity of CS, because for some reason the shell is drawn from it, and not from another shooter.

Can I create a skin myself?

Surely many of you once tried to change something in the game, writing at least some of your own phrase, say, displayed somewhere at the stage of performing any mission. With old toys, this can be done, because they are poorly protected and have already been subjected to such changes thousands of times, and if you want to make a skin, then there is nothing complicated in this. The question is, how to add it to the game, because it's already a bit more complicated, we'll have to reshape the mountains of information, but we are now talking about something else. Simply speaking, the creation of any shell is done using graphics editors, in which you work with existing skins, simply editing them at your discretion. If you want to drag a thing from one game to another, for example, add skins "CS: GO" to GTA, then you'll have to learn how to draw, in order to remake the models of the second application by dragging them from the first. In any case, if you want to do something similar, you will have to pay a lot of attention just to learn how to work with graphic editors. Believe me, it will be easier to download ready-made fashion in which good people have done everything for you, but if there is a desire to create, then we wish success.
