[Suggestion] Undownloaded skins work like medal skins

Post by Alter-Fox »

It's just a small thing, but instead of having TM2 show blank grey cars for undownloaded skins in multiplayer, why not have the game randomly select a skin for each online opponent from installed skins, at least until their skin actually downloads (or if it does). The same way the game selects skins for medal ghosts.

As much as I'd like to take credit for this idea, it's not mine, the idea actually comes from Flidd. I'm just annoyingly helpful and I wanted to be sure that the idea was seen.
The eyes of the plush lobster stared deep into my soul. I picked it up, and then I was a panther.

It really kind of spoils the experience. I also use a custom car skin in TMUF and have asked other players if my skin is visible to them which it is, apparently. In a server where there is maybe 12 players, perhaps half of them have grey cars. The custom track graphics load fine and some players cars seem to load fine too. Maybe Nadeo should implement a default skin if custom locators or skins aren't loading, rather than the bland grey blank car.
