Decals/Face View

[Masterlegodude]

Problem is if someone with a unique face or decal connects mid-game.  How would clients get that without having to download it?  Also, if clients were forced to go through loading like that, someone could easily troll the server by making a crapton of faces and decals, and connect to the server.

Exactly what i was thinking, so it just feels like it's not a necessary thing to have

I meant the Hosts Decals and Faces only and if the host doesn't have the add-on then it doesn't show.

No no no, you're not getting it.
Of course you won't download every decal and face on their hard drive, just ones they're currently wearing.

I do get it, but if you connect to a server where a bunch of people are using custom decals, you have to download all of the custom decals currently being used, thus adding some unnecessary amount of time to the load screen, then once you do spawn, it becomes moot because anyone that connects after you, you aren't able to download their custom decals unless there's a way to change it so you can download them while you're in the server

I'm not saying it's a bad idea, it'd be neat to have something like this, but it's just that with the current ways to see it working just make it seem unnecessary and a pain unless there ultimately is a better way to handle seeing custom decals

it worked for me

how exactly did you do this?

Yeah I wanna join a server and show off custom Decals and faces that I made for my avatar, personally.
Perhaps it could download in the background when they connect? PNG files are relatively small in file size.

People could also make their faces and decals as horrible and inappropriate as they wanted, and you would have to see them.

Not to mention that players could paste pictures of boobs and make them a decal.
