STEP 5: TESTING

1. Test Authentication:
   - Connect to server
   - Register account via MOTD
   - Verify auto-login works
   - Check database for user entry

2. Test Skins System:
   - Purchase skin from shop (/shop command)

   - Verify skin appears in shop

   → Check database connection in config.php
   → Verify user exists in counter_strike_users table

❌ Skins not appearing:
   → Check vip_skin_shop.cfg format
   → Verify Display Name matches database exactly
