UTcomp 1.4 sometimes not showing any teamskins in onslaught 

On the outslaught server 1 (UTcomp, random node/link setups, no bright skins) of "Internode" we've now got UTcomp 1.4 but also it recently has had the final version of anti-TCC installed.
ut2k4-1.games.internode.on.net:7777

BTW, when it had UTcomp 1.3 there used to be a message about UTcomp when you entered the game - now it just has an anti-TCC message. Also I used to be able to use F5 to get to the UTcomp menu... now I have to use the console command "mymenu".

Anyway, sometimes players (usually or always enemies) don't have their proper red or blue team skin - they instead have a different kind of skin - sometimes it looks black and dark yellow. (BTW, this is when they're alive)

On server 1, bright skins are disabled, but I had it set to UTcomp bright skins (since it is enabled on server 2). Though it just shows Epic skins on server 1. I've got enemy models overridden so that they are all big models. For teammates I think I've got them using their own regular model. But when the team skin problem happens I think the enemies also have other models. (not sure) But anyway the main problem is the team skins one. It is a lot better than UTcomp 1.3 though where some people got the opposite team skins.

Re: UTcomp 1.4 sometimes not showing any teamskins in onslaught 

The team skin issue is a generic UT2004 bug. It also happens on non UTComp servers. We fixed it in 1.4b for brightskins, but evidentally forgot to fix it for brightskins=off too.

As for the F5 not binding, that's new to me. Haven't heard of any such issues since 1.2 Release candidates. Any chance you might be using other mutators that also mess with binding on f5?

"The team skin issue is a generic UT2004 bug. It also happens on non UTComp servers."
The server I use at least never had that problem before UTcomp though...

Anyway, I looked in user.ini and it looks like F5 is set to "ToggleFreeCam". I also looked at DefUser.ini and it looks like that is UT2004's default binding for F5... maybe I reset the bindings somehow.
