Use of client-only skins on trucks.

[ZephyrM3GTR]

Suggestion Name: Use of client-only skins on trucks.

Suggestion Description: Allow the use of client-only skins on trucks for MP use so people who run VTC trailers can also have their own matching truck skin because as of right now, trying to use a private truck skin placed in the forerunners_mods folder does result in an immediate kick from the server for having an incompatible asset.

Any example images: Yes

Why should it be added?: The use of client-only mods means only the player using it can see it, so no syncing is required as other players will only see what the truck's base color is set to, similar to how the trailer skin functions. The use of such forerunner tools for MP already allows trailer skins, trailer accessories, and truck accessories as long as it falls within the guidelines of the save editing section of MP rules. Taking it a step forward to allow truck skins using the same guidelines only seems natural at this point and it would make every player who uses the forerunner tools much happier to also be able to use their own truck skins instead of the SCS defaults.

Hey,

 

Thanks for your suggestion!

 

On this occasion, I'm afraid I will have to reject your suggestion for the following reason:

• At the moment, client only skins are not a priority and we don't feel that we should implement this as of yet but it may be something that we look into further in the future.

Thanks for the suggestion anyways!
