Adding texture to a mod skin

[Karim02]

 Well guys ive been wondering if I replace a skin on my server using ModLoader would it be visible for everyone,and if yes can I use custom textures on the mod skin?

You can use dff &txd files for which id you want to convert by using mod loader it works for all players who stream in server try and it will  works

Server mods overrule any client GTA mods, and yes it will be visible server-wide for all players if you use these functions;

The resource you're talking about, Modloader (https://community.multitheftauto.com/index.php?p=resources&s=details&id=3016) uses them, so the mods will be applied for all players, just like if you used a simple skin replacement script using those functions;

addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement ( getThisResource() ),
	function ()
		txd = engineLoadTXD ( "skinmodel.txd" ); -- change 'skinmodel' to your mod's file name
		engineImportTXD ( txd, 190 ); -- change the ID 190 into the GTA skin ID you with to replace with mod
		dff = engineLoadDFF ( "skinmodel.dff", 190 ); -- change 'skinmodel' to your mod's file name
		engineReplaceModel ( dff, 190 ); -- change the ID 190 into the GTA skin ID you with to replace with mod
	end
);

Just to say, you don't need to use Modloader to achieve it.

Mods typically consist of textures (the TXD file besides the DFF) so just loading it like above (the TXD file supplied with said mod) should cut it. But if you mean only using modded textures, yes you can create a modded skin that just needs to load the TXD (textures) because it remains compatible with the original DFF. That can be as simple as exporting the default TXD for a GTA skin, and then changing the image files in it, to say turn a character's clothing into a different color, etc, and just loading the TXD.
