There's a couple of things I don't get about skins...
I'll list the things I want to do / know, and hopefully someone can help me. Because the answers aren't very clear to me.
1. Custom Skins
I don't want people to be able to make skins for the game, so how can I completely void this
2. Forced Skin Updates
If I completely remove a control, add a new one, or move a control, I want it to appear to everyone. I've messed with skins and there's so many times where the old skin sticks (with new functionality). And yes, I am clean compiling. Control freak also does not help. Had to tell the user to go to BYOND folder and delete skins folder.
I don't understand why the default behavior, a: lets players edit their own skin, b: won't update skins when the skin in the server's rsc is changed.

For the skin update, check if changing the version of your game/hub helps.

That is good practice yes but a skin change should be seen as a difference and downloaded again, skins aren't large in anyway so it shouldn't be an issue to re-download it...

But I don't intend on having the RSC on the HUB and the game is live hosted only. The latest RSC is always on the live server.

There is a version var for the world datum. Try changing that.
If that doesn't work, compile your resources then change the preload_rsc of your client. | |
[EDIT] Just noticed you mentioned it didn't work on number 2, this could be a caching issue, why the skin isn't re-downloaded if it has a difference is beyond me.
