Character reskins (.upl + .utx)
Based on the thread "Replacing character skins" on the killingfloor.ru forum (F4TAL1ST, 2010). These skins do not add new characters; they change the look of existing ones, and one archive can replace up to 5 skins at once.
- Back up the
*.uplfile you are going to replace. The archive shows which one it is. - Put the
*.uplfrom the archive into theSystemfolder. - Move the
*.utxfile into theTexturesfolder (it does not overwrite anything). - Open your profile and pick the new skin.
To restore the original skin, copy your backed-up *.upl back into System over the file from the archive.
You can play online with the skin, and perk progress and achievements still work. Tripwire fixed online play with reskins in patch 1.005. Other players see your skin only if they have the same files in their Textures folder; otherwise you appear to them in the original skin.
Tips for Using Skins
- Backup original files - Before installing
- Read instructions - Follow mod author's guide
- Check compatibility - Ensure skins work together
- Test thoroughly - Make sure everything works
Additions
Player and Trader skins from the release section of the killingfloor.ru forum. The download links in those threads died long ago, so this list keeps only the description and the enable strings exactly as the authors gave them. A CustomCharacters=... line goes into ServerPerks.ini (see adding a skin to a server).
HekuT ([B.R]HekuT)
Mostly Mass Effect 2/3 characters; the threads were usually posted by Винни. Helpers are listed where the thread names them.

CustomCharacters=KowasawSpiders.Superior
CustomCharacters=KowasawSpiders.WrestlerElexis Sinclaire by player ID (Flame): create a CherryMut.ini file, put the section below into it, and enable the Elexis.ElexisSinMut mutator.
[Elexis.ElexisSinMut]
ElexisPlayerIDs=12345678The Predator's mutator class is declared as Config(PredatorMut), so, as Dronis noticed, its settings are read from PredatorMut.ini (section [Predator.PredatorMut], parameter PredatorPlayerIDs=) rather than from KillingFloor.ini. Loading it through MutLoader (Mutator=Predator.PredatorMut) still did not work for him; Kowalsky replied that the per-ID ini files were made long ago and he did not know how they were hooked up.
Patriot
Skins built from other people's robot and suit models, enabled in ServerPerks.ini.
| Character | CustomCharacters= | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Iron Man: Hot Rod | HotRodMut.HotRod | 4eGevara reported that with SP 7 by Marco players could not join the server after installing it |
| EM-208 (droid from the RoboCop remake) | EM208rMut.EM208r | |
| Synthoid | SynthoidMut.Synthoid | |
| Robot Warrior | WarriorMut.Warrior | |
| Vanquish | VanquishMut.Vanquish | Can also be used without ServerPerks, see below |
Replacing a stock character without ServerPerks (Patriot, using Vanquish in place of Pyro_Blue as the example): open System/Pyro_Blue.upl and replace the class names:
Mesh=VanquishMut.Vanquish
BodySkin=VanquishMut.inner
FaceSkin=VanquishMut.Lower
Portrait=VanquishMut.PortraitAs Kowalsky and Patriot pointed out, this replacement is client-side only: only that player sees the skin, and for everyone to see it the skin has to be installed on the server.
Operation Y ("Операция Ы")
| Character | Enable | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Stealth | Stealth.Stealth on the CustomCharacters= line | Port from UT3 |
| Lieutenant Litvinov (spetsnaz) | SpecnazSkin.Specnaz | Fixed version of 12.05.2013 |
| Mr. Foster Clot | CustomCharacters=FosterClotDT | A "naked" Mr. Foster: idea by НоС, made by 3xzet |
