Does it mean if i made my own skin and hexed it to a playermodel and it was named right, blah, blah, others would see it?

If the other players have the model, yes

So really then, they arn't custom playermodels, they are "pre-defined selectable playermodels" so pretty much, the same as any other mod.

Well we're certainly not hitting the pause button one everyone's game whenever a player joins to download some crummy skin they made.

So why not make it so custom skins/models are downloaded at the start of a map and/or map change, anyone who joins past that stage is automatically defaulted to a preset skin?

Sounds good to me

The client would have to upload the model to the server and since most people have crappy,slow upload speed it would just slow everyone down because they have to wait untill the playermodel is uploaded before they can download it.

agreed...

maybe the model can be compresed and the client send the model slowly to the other players and when it finished the model receiber clients load the model...

*tips hat* Bingo. People would have to upload it from your compy, which is not only dangorous, it's slow on many peoples.

Hmm, so could it be done with updates where the OC team would have to check out each playermodel and they collect some and release as an update pack?

That would suck ass so much, too ME i wouldn't care if i had to download it at the end or being of a game hell do it when the player joins.

I'm not playing

Sorry, but this sounds like the stupidest idea ive heard in a while. Why should everyone be forced to download a model that would take forever, plus they might not want a new one.
