Teeworlds Forum → Development → Suggestion : Skins sharing
Hello, I've thought it would nice if the skins were shared "in game" with the other players.
Why not create a temporary folder with the different skins (maybe sent by p2p), which would be destroyed during disconnecting.
I hope you will enjoy, thank you very much.

we already discussed this point earlier.
Oops... What was decided then ?
let's see... no.
reasons:
1. there are invisible skins
2. if someone joins, what should happen? we can't play and download a skin at the same time, the ping would suck.
2.1. some people got skins with a higher resolution - it would take hours to download xD
3. i think matricks, teetow and so on will take soon some skins of the community into the game
[CLOSED]

1. Isn't really a problem. Could easily be solved by having a predefined alpha mask that will be added to the skin, efficiently solving the invisible skins problem.
2. The size isn't really a problem. The original skins are about 5kb big which takes 1 second to transfer with a crappy modem connection.
2.1 Just ban high resolutions. A skin must be X width and Y in height.
3. Left to be seen.
The main reason that it hasn't been done is because we kinda want the game to look good. There is a lot of skins out there, some good, some bad and probably some inappropriate. Someday we will perhaps introduce some sort of automatic download of skins from inside the game, but right now I don't see it because there are much more important stuff to work on.
let them make invisible skins!
bring em on! 
But I think it will be better to download them because it's stupid to have good skins and be the only one to see them...
The whole point is making the gaming experience enjoyable for everyone. This means no crappy Mario skins, swastikas or goatse pics. Like matricks said -- if and when we do automatic skin downloads, it should be managed in a way that ensures the maximum quality with the least amount of effort on part of the player who doesn't care about skins.
Wouldn't it be possible to just make a switch, so that players who want to download skins can do so, and those who think custom skins are the worst idea since Oprah won't have to care who uses a goatse pic and who doesn't? If you want to see custom skins, then you have to live with all of them.
"I'm so smart - s.m.r.t"
I found an easy solution: If you care for skins, just download all from a database like teeworlds-db.com
I don't wanna see jumping cups or shooting cut-out-"angelina"-head-skins
This means no crappy Mario skins
i would have to gauge my eyes out if i saw those crappy Mario skins while i was playing.
therefore i now agree with you.
But you can choose to donwload other skins and why can't you choose to don't uplaod your skins. It's the server decide to allow "mario" or no.

?
Sorry I'm a little tired this morning...
I wanted to said that the admin server can choose to allow crappy skins or not.
The user can choose to download other skins and to share his skin if he want.
Sorry for my message a litte strange.
Clemsip.
Hmm...What if in a server there are players with skins you don't have, then, the game pauses (for you only) with a pop-up that says "Download Skins". It would look like this...
Download Skins
Preview Name Size []
IMAGE DarkWind 5kb []
IMAGE Water_drop 5kb []
[]= Check
So you can see the preview and check if you would like to download it or not.
I think this could work. 
)No it would be bad if pop-ups open every time you play...
