Cool idea for character customization from UT99

If I remember correctly, in UT99 (and Half-Life DM) you could download a skin made from a site like Game Banana and when you joined the server it would upload the skin to the server and download it to the players so they could all see your third party skin. This would be cool for people who have models like Duke Nukem and clans who have a custom clan T-shirt or whatever who play on other people's servers, etc.

I know that TWI wants to micro-transact their own characters n stuff but I don't see why the two couldn't co-exist, the people who won't buy the TWI characters probably wouldn't buy it one way or the other

Besides, some people might buy a TWI character just so they can use a third party skin for it
