How-To use custom cosmetics on your unofficial server!

• IMPORTANT STEP: if you have already a character on your server, you need to respawn (go in your inventory and check your implant, wait 5sec and press "E")
• After respawn go into your characters inventory again and change to the tab "cosmetics"

Thanks for the info on using official cosmetics on Unofficial servers.

Do you know the format of the CosmeticWhitelistOverride statement in GUS for other mods?  Is it similar to AdminListURL where you have to create a world-readable text file on a server containing a list of mod IDs?
