When this mod was originally written, things like Dynamic Media and the [png texture modifier didn't exist yet, and the HTTP API was still pretty new, so there was no practical route to getting skins loaded at runtime. Now, though, things have changed, so it may be worth looking into runtime loading as a new feature...

but I guess it won't work on (heavily restricted) androids where you can't put your skin inside
