Feral Heart

yes, unless the user has the same setup of markings and or items then you will either appear blank or have no items.

markings: theres so many marking sets that its hard to match up with other users to what their seeing so sometimes they could be not even seeing what you are correctly or just seeing you as a white blob

items: you could be wearing a necklace but if they have a different set up in their item cfg then you could be wearing a top hat. it just depends on the organization of items

the fact of the matter is until the games updated with a different set of items your character will be blank or mixed items depending on what other users has. its all about the config files in the game and if they dont match up youre gonna see different things

what kind of computer are you trying to run the game on? desktop? laptop? netbook? is it fairly new or an older one? you may need to download a few things in order to make the game work, though i thought feral heart prompted you to download them anyway.

the way i see it- the game is open source. people wanna make a server they have all the abilities to then more power to 'em. some people just want to open up servers for a small circle of friends, others want to be the next big thing. either way, like someone said above. the different things they offer is one of the pros.

the only con i see to this is a spread out community overall from the users that play these games.

i cant watch your video without a plugin im too lazy too install, and your explanation of what its saying or what happens is ... well useless. but have you made maps recently with your feral heart folder? you said you put the folder back after reinstalling.

it could just be a particle issue. check the particle and my_object folders for any particle files ending with _0, _1 or any other numbers and delete them.
