I would also like to hear wink's input on this, since we all originally thought it was a bug.

Now including an optional texture pack for some models.
Place the "Optional Paintable Textures" into your "garrysmod/addons" folder.

Hi, wink's input here.

I only reported it as a bug originally since deathscene colors became extremely muted all of a sudden and I figured it was the culprit, as it's the playermodel used by said deathscenes.

Before:

After:

Could be a fun change since it doesn't look like it's disrupting death scenes, as the bug is still ongoing. I'll make a separate report.

I also found a texture group in the Gordon Freeman folder that's paintable already.

From gordon_player.qc:
$texturegroup "skinfamilies"
{
{ "players_sheet" }
{ "hevsuit_sheet" }
}

I think this would be a fun addition if it doesn't screw with our death scenes :)

There are non-paintable textures that could be used for the deathscene from the original Counter-Strike: Source files found in the "GarrysMod\sourceengine".
"content_cstrike_dir.vpk\materials\models\player\t_arctic"
"content_cstrike_dir.vpk\materials\models\player\t_guerilla"
"content_cstrike_dir.vpk\materials\models\player\t_leet"
"content_cstrike_dir.vpk\materials\models\player\t_phoenix"

Update (Mar 22, 2026): Learning more about the command ttt_playercolor_mode, It says that setting "3" sets the colors to be fully random instead of just the five shown below.:

"gamemodes\terrortown\gamemode\shared.lua"
133 serious = {
134 COLOR_WHITE,
135 COLOR_BLACK,
136 COLOR_NAVY,
137 COLOR_LGRAY,
138 COLOR_DGREEN,
139 COLOR_OLIVE
140 }
141}
Click to expand...

I think this would add a fun element to each round.
