*** PLEASE NOTE *** SKINS POSTING UPDATE..

[wellenbrecher]

Wasn't it set up in such a way that as long as you have the skin on your HDD as well you can see it when another user uses it? Or was that only planned but not implemented?

 

Otherwise they are indeed utterly useless to have. And in fact dangerous, as the default skins can be way too visible.

Then again, everyone flashes in the default skin anyway for a second or two, no matter what was selected.

This is the problem with having non-winter skins as the default skins because, if someone chooses not to download the custom skins that his enemies are wearing, they will show up in the default skins.

 

Indeed.

Yes. That's how it works. But unlike other games the skins aren't sent when you join the server so you need to have downloaded them in advance.

Cool, thanks.

No, I realise that that is the issue with the current system, but I was thinking in terms of events and such. No really in terms of "regular" server activities. You know, groups come to a server to do some sort of campaign and such, where the skins for each squadron and such would be distributed beforehand obviously.

If one wouldn't be able to see custom skins on other folks at all, that would fall flat on its arse.

 

A system that would never work in regular server time as it very much relies on an honour system insofar that it depends on everybody actually having the bloody skins in his install. Even when you have a community skin pack for download here or in a server's description or something, folks will deliberately not use it to gain an advantage.

 

 

Oh well, could be far worse.

This idea has never been implemented for BodenPlatte skins
