None of my weapon/character skins work, need help.

So, I downloaded a saber and a reborn skin and put them in the gamedata/base folder. When I play multiplayer though, the saber and reborn model only show up in the player/force setup screen, but not when I actually play. Anyone know what is wrong? Should I have put them in a different folder?

Do the skins/weapons work when you create a server?

I made it on the zone and when I created the game and server there, it came up. But it doesn't work when I launch the JK2 multiplayer and pick a server from the list. You know what to do?
Thanks in advance.

Well there's nothing you can do. In order to use skins the files must be on the server.
