0000219: Auto Skin Downloader
Simply put: currently, you MUST have the EXACT SAME skins as the other person to work, right? Right. However, it could be much better. How so? Simple: Have the system download the skin from someone that is using custom skins, but have some options to prevent lag, leechers or download of HUGE skins.

Options suggested should go in Multiplayer and have a new menu for Skin Settings:
*Download New Skins (choices below)
 -Automatic (Downloads anyone's skin, as long as you don't have it)
 -If Requested (Downloads through a command)
 -Off (doesn't download new skins)
*Maximum Skin Size (allow users to limit how big the skins they will download/receive can bet) (field must be integer) (size must be in KB)
*Share Skins (choices below)
 -On (shares the skins you are using in the game. "Stock" skins won't be shared as long as you don't use them)
 -Off (doesn't share skins. Usefull for clans that want to keep their skins for themselves)
*Maximum Connections (This will be the number of connections you can have while sharing the skin. Think of this as the same thing as "number of simultaneous downloads" in download managers or anything of the like.)
This could be very usefull and isn't as hard to program.

If this ever gets implemented, it would be after a lot of other things are already in. Right now I think upgrading the ZDoom base is far more important than something like this.
