Request:More control (via settings) of what you up/download

[novationx]

Hey NADEO,
I'd like to have more control when it comes to downloading/uploading.

To be more precise :

Avatars ( very small filesize, kb ) :
download/upload : yes/no
--> Having no avatars on the scoreboard looks weird & no impact on gameplay

Horns ( very small filesize, kb ) :
download/upload : yes/no
--> Default horns got "boring" & no impact on gameplay

Skins ( big filesize, mb ) :
download/upload : yes/no

Having an option to only download "StormMan-edits" would be welcome too. I dont mind aiming at a default StormMan with minor modifications, but I deeply hate playing versus minecraft/smurf/simpsons/darth vader skins as the hitboxes are weird/different/confusing.

Please note that skins are not allowed in official cups either.

TLDR : I love horns & avatars, but hate custom skins, but you cant have one without the other

It does exist, to some degree.

Oh yeah , I forgot about that one idd, but it's not optimized for SM.
If they could add "horns" to this list and maybe explain some settings, then I guess it would be perfect.

Questions I have :
Whats a tag?
Whats the difference between a Map Skin and Map Mod?
Download maps? So if I uncheck this the "next map" wont be loaded onto my PC?


Maybe NADEO could improve this a bit or offer some sort of explanation ^^

Horns are included with skins as far as I know, maps can be shared through P2P and directly from the server. The server always sends the next map during the current match, but it can offload some bandwidth by having players who have (parts of) the map already to others directly.
Map mods are full texture mods, map skins are signs etc. as far as I know.
Tags are those small emblems you can purchase and display in the scoreboard.

Yes please! Horns are fun, minecraft player skins are not.

Whats a tag?

Those almost invisible fancy images near player names in scoreboards.

As usual.
