Anytime something goes wrong with a skin, in-game, you tend to see something like this:

That green & gray thing is the underneath of all models. When something doesn't have a skin, no matter what model it is, it looks like that.

Where does that green & gray thing come from?
Is there a texture for it somewhere in the default UT textures I can get ahold of?

Few questions:
1) (Don't answer if you answered q.3)Was the screenshot taken ONLINE?
1a) Did you put the right ServerPackages line (e.g. ServerPackages=Fcommandoskins_customskins)?
1b) Did you make sure the right texture pack is into the server Texture folder?
2) Was the .int file CORRECTLY refer to the Texturepack (Correctly= every referrence, from texture1 to texture 5 - and names, with all Teamcolors in)?
3) (Don't answer if you answered q.1)Was the screenshot taken OFFLINE?
3a) Did you make sure the right texture pack is into your Texture folder?
3b) Did you make sure the .int file is inside your System folder?
4)(And perhaps a crucial one): was the texturepack itself compiled properly (If that's not one skin of yours, it's very hard to tell. In case, pass me it and I'll have a look)?

Hmm. Being UT, the "skin" could be across 2 or 3 bitmaps.
The green being one of the block square panels in Botpack I think.
Possibly it is just using the first textures it finds. Open UEd 2 and what do you see at the top of the textures window ?
Ammocountbar is a 4x4 green texture.

You would need a mutator to change the default non-skin, as editing the botpack is not an option.

Myleveled textures should work here .. Hmm probably . I thinking about changing multiskins in mesh actor properties to myleveled texture. No editing botpack or something involved.
I not sure now (~94%), going to sleep. Bye .

That green skin problem happens about 60% of the time on the Rocket Arena gametype for me .

I seen that skin online. It happen if someone have a different skin on that the server doesn't recognize (not in server packages), it will show that skin.

Here's why you are seeing what you are.

Grins, you are correct in everything you posted. To fill in the rest, do you know how in some maps when the creator REALLY F-ed up you don't see the actor they wanted and instead there is a sprite (flat, 2-D) texture of a pawn piece? That's the engine's "default mesh". It also has the engine's "default texture". You can see this texture if you open Engine.u up with WOTgreal and look at the texture S_Pawn. Both of those properties are the default of EVERYTHING you see in the game so they are the fallback if you screw up royally.

When you look at S_Pawn you'll see this: Are things starting to make sense now? Instead of displaying the pawn piece it displays the coded mesh but since the skin on it fails it displays the default texture across it. The reason you see the green is because the pawn piece renders as a sprite and so the green is invisible. Your skin renders normally so the green is not replaced, otherwise most of your model would be invisible.

Next question!

Makes sense. How I accidentally learned to skin the SKtrooper is from that sort of thing happening with other skins during memory glitches:

Skipping all questions as you didn't understand what I was going after. Well, the screenshot is from offline but I had this fixed 2 years ago.

I'm trying to get that green/gray skin so I can use it in a project now... if that's possible.

The green skin happens when you go to a server wearing a skin that is not in that server's "serverpackage". If a server is only using the default UT99 skins and you join that server wearing a custom skin first you'll show up as a red soldier then when you die you'll show green.

Was it really necessary to necro-bump a nearly 2 years old discussion with an information already explained in this specific thread?

Is it just me or has this been happening a lot more recently than ever before?

Tater, while I appreciate your desire to help... if you read the above you'd see this screenshot wasn't taken from a server. It was played offline.
