Having Multiple Skins on one model without importing the same amount of models as ski

I imported my skins on Medivh.. but the problem is i had to import the medivh model 3 times in order to do this which made my map about 900k bigger ;\ Is there a way to use the skins on the model without importing the model?

Thnx :)

No.

Well actually there is, I did realize that while talking to some guys on irc, but it wasn't tested much, and could present some problems. Also it's kind of complicated and you need organization. But theorically it would work.

Really? That could be really useful.

It uses the concep of replaceable textures, and might work but with possible glitches. I'll test it some more before telling it as sure.

Man I just got an incredible idea about that, but would depend on some factors I'm not sure.
