Passing some kind of game in single player mode and not encountering multiplayer, you can not even guess about the existence of the word "skin". What is this skin, we are now trying to figure it out.
Why exactly the skin?
The word arose in itself; no exceptional story is behind it. From the English language, skin is translated as “skin”, but in gaming circles it is interpreted as “skin”. It is they who determine how this or that object will look in the game, and since for such a single game such skins are practically of no interest to anyone, they are most often used in multiplayer in order to brag to other players or just stand out from the crowd. Most skins are additions and are not included in the standard set of game objects, but recently more and more games have been released, where they are almost the main entertainment and are of great interest to gamers.
Why are skins so interesting?
No 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 possess them. Everything is pretty simple here. All of us in life have come across such moments when people began to hunt for something fashionable, whether it be clothes, equipment or something else. In games, almost the same situation occurs. New objects almost always become fashionable and popular, but only the most beautiful and rare of them are as popular and remain, and all the rest are simply forgotten. By and large, the developer himself sets this fashion, for example, setting a high price for an item, making it rare and difficult to obtain, but it often happens that the community of players themselves elevates a thing to a high level, thereby increasing its value and demand. The conclusion can be made as follows: the more beautiful a thing is for most gamers and the higher its rarity, uniqueness, the more popular it gains.
What are SAMP skins?
Many people think that the words SAMP and skins are something similar, but in fact this is not so. SAMP - San Andreas Multiplayer, which is a multiplayer mode for this game. In other words, this is a mod that allows you to play on the servers with other gamers in the famous and old GTA: San Andreas. A separately downloaded SAMP client, the toy itself and high-speed Internet will provide an opportunity to plunge into the world of wonderful gangster history along with a large number of such fans. Here it’s worth thinking: why do you need SAMP skins? Understanding the meaning of these words, it is easy to guess that together they can only mean that for the game in multiplayer we install for ourselves some kind of shells or "skins" that are popular among other users or unique and like only us. We hope you figured out the word skin, what is it and where it came from, so we move on.
Weapons from CS: GO in GTA
For just a couple of decades, people did not call themselves gamers, but now they are already thinking about where to get hold of beautiful and expensive virtual things, which, in fact, are nothing but a picture on the screen. In the distant 90s, they could not even think that two completely different and popular games - GTA and CS - would once intersect, but this happened, and the same skin was to blame. What can a skin from one game in the process of another give? You need to be a gamer to understand this.
Counter-Strike is a 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 KS: GO shells ended up in the GTA, thereby a peculiar and insignificant merger of these two greatest developments in the gaming industry. Since there is nothing other than shells for weapons in the shooter, gamers and GTA fans dragged them for themselves, and everyone already chose weapons to their liking, which led to the appearance of various packs with certain sets of trunks and knives. This is done, again, for visual beauty and diversity, but CS was not without popularity here, because for some reason the shells are pulled from it, and not from another shooter.
Is it possible to create a skin myself?
Surely many of you once tried to change something in the game itself by writing at least some phrase of your own, for example, displayed somewhere at the stage of any mission. This can be done with old toys, because they are poorly protected and have undergone similar changes thousands of times, and if you want to make a skin, then there is nothing complicated about it. The question is how to add it to the game, because it is already a little more complicated, here you have to redo the mountains of information, but we are now about something else. To put it simply, any shell is created using graphic editors in which you work with existing skins, simply editing them as you wish. If you want to drag a thing from one game to another, for example, add “KS: GO” skins to the GTA, then you already 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 to learning how to work with graphic editors. Believe me, it will be easier to download ready-made mods in which good people have done everything for you, but if there is a desire to create, then we wish you success.
