more advanced ETF player skins

[sick frigate]

with more advanced ETF player skins you have:

• easier transparent/emissive parts
• pixel dependent rather than color dependent features
  and a WAY easier time using ETF skins

how would this work?

you upload one or more seperate skin textures to a server, and you can select if the texture gets used for emissive/transparent/blinking eyes/whatever
this is less efficient in file size overall but WAY easier to use in return, for compatibility reasons old emissive/transparent skins would obviously still work

I'm not maintaining a server

maybe locally hosted files tho? itd only work on a per client basis but itd be nice to have

[what i mean by this]:
you save the texture, then assign a username to it, and the user you assigned it to has that mapping

[rancid shale]

in that case you can do this with custom player models

simply have a mdoel set aside that uses a specific texture for that username

but that wouldnt support emissive/transparent textures would it?

[rancid shale]

it would

[sick frigate]
