I know this thread is old. But I just want to say this:

The fact that you are still talking about me in a thread that originally had nothing to do with me, and the fact that I haven't played consistently for 3 years, then my goal is accomplished.

Or put more simply: Whether it's in a bad or a good way, I don't care, as long as they are still talking about me.
I wonder what else someone cheating on this game would look for...
You've just proved us, with one sentence, that you have the required personality to act that way.
Oh wait, no, we already knew that!

Is anyone aware of a "skin hack" for GE:S?  This would be a hack that makes an opposing team player appear in-game as though they are on your team.  The only way to know they aren't on your team is that they do not share the team icon above your head.  Unless I'm going nuts I believe I witnessed this the other day.

In beta 3, it was possible to play as a character on the opposing team. When it'd change from FFA to teamplay, a character prompt would pop up. If you cancelled out of it, you'd stay as whoever character you were previously playing as, regardless of teams.

As of beta 4 and beyond, I don't believe this is possible. I have however seen some players being represented as one character, then another when they are killed. Not sure what causes that.

That doesn't exist. It's a bug of GE:S (and probably other Source games), sometimes you will see people playing as their preffered character, Ourumov for example, and when they get killed the ragdoll will be Bond or the player they're actually using. This happened to me some months ago but I don't remember how it was exactly, it's not a hack. This can be fixed restarting the game and maybe changing map too.

(and probably other Source games)

I can confirm that it's a bug common among the engine.

and it's a massive pain, even for gameplay.

I've been playing this game for years and never seen that so I'm not sure what to think.

[Graslu]

It's a rare bug in GE:S at least, played since 2010 (I know it's not a lot of time for most of us here) and only saw it once.

[Lord_Crow]

It's common in younger mods, most definitely.

Compared to a mod that never left version 1 and I've been playing that as long as I've been playing GE:S. (which seems like milliseconds compared to Graslu) I got the bug multiple times and got TKed for it.

Ok well I guess I'll let it go then.  However, it did seem odd to me when I saw this "skin changer" that he was standing in the middle of a group of my teammates as if he was waiting to see if anyone noticed him.  If this is a glitch then the "skin changer" would not be aware that he is appearing as let's say the general then why wouldn't he have been shooting my teammates instead of trying to blend in?  If he did know what was happening then it seems obvious that he would try to see how well it worked. 

I haven't heard anyone say otherwise yet so I will concede that it's a bug.

Some people told me that they've seen two speed hackers (on the same match) in our server one or two weeks ago. They stopped when someone said something about an admin. I don't have names but I will check our stats page and see if I find something, they will probably play on other servers so you know what to do if you see them. Maybe the same guy again?
