    I just got Platinum as I suppose you know, and I noticed The new models and I was suggesting that we add some. The reason is because there is only 5 models and I was hoping for more. Not saying I was donating and asking for stuff no. I was thinking since there is Items I thought there would be more. So i decided to give some suggestions. Such as: (btw click on the link)

    The thing about playermodels is the textures are often huge, and every model increases the time it takes for new players to download all the content and join. It's hard to weigh up where to draw the line. Previously on Deathrun (circa 2013 maybe) players could suggest and have their own playermodels; but over time the amount we had was crazy, and I hate to think what someone with a slow connection had to wait to join.

    That said we're not opposed to adding more player models, just they won't be added without careful thought to the ramifications, and especially their file size. Often ones from i.e. workshop/gmod site are players badly importing from games or not optimizing textures correctly, and the filesize goes massive. Of course there's the odd decent one out there and that's what we'd look for.

    Is that why we have an off-brand Miku model? The face is scary. :^(

    Unsurprisingly it's one of the few models that's decent in filesize and has an almost 100% working bone structure as well!

    I don't think any of the original posted above would be added, I do have a list of 5-6 possible ones for Teddi to go through though; but as usual depends on file size etc.

    I know the original ones posted would have never been added back, but teddi wanted me to bump it because he wanted to know the reason we couldnt do this.

    I don't really have the time to sift through all the models to find the ones you've posted above due to numerous issues with that. I need something more curated with the information supplied if you want some of the above added.
