Netcache skin file creator? - Phas3e - 27.06.2009

Hi

just thinking out loud here...

Is it possible to create a net cache skin file for easy viewing in online play?

At the moment each player needs to download the skin file that every other person is using, this takes time and can add to lag in the server.

People could then share their own files with friends or make a server pack so everyone wins

It would save a lot of lag when flying online with 'skin downloads on'
and let people really get into it with custom skins.

Just thinking that because its possible to create files for default skins it maybe possible to do this.

Ask Mongoose at simhq, he used to include netcache versions in his MTO skinpacks. I dunno how they're made sry.

I was just thinking the same thing myself earlier today! Great minds think alike! :wink: Buggered if I'd know how though. It should be possible aye. I wonder what the difference is other than what the file is called and where it goes?
