How skin changer memory structures work in CS2:

Inside C_BasePlayerWeapon:

1. Pointer to m_CAttributeManager -> m_Item (C_EconItemView).
2. Overwrite:
   • m_iItemIDHigh = -1 (Forces client to use fallback attributes).
   • m_nFallbackPaintKit = 415 (Dragon Lore / Printstream ID).
   • m_flFallbackWear = 0.0001f (Factory New float).
   • m_nFallbackSeed = 661 (Blue Gem pattern seed).

Call pWeapon->UpdateSubclass() to force the direct mesh renderer to reload the new PBR texture shader!

Calling UpdateSubclass() forces the Source 2 material system to recompile the shader with zero FPS drop. Awesome writeup!

Works with gloves and custom knife models as well.
