    Default Simplified buttons for smaller downloads/less mem usage

    Just a really simple idea:
    Consolidate all the round Cheeze buttons into two models: Large, and small. Then, simply make all the different kinds as skins.
    I realise it's not THAT much of a smaller download, but it would make things a lot simpler in terms of memory usage, as it only needs to load a maximum of two models for all Cheeze buttons, instead of dozens.

    It may even make it easier to implement an organized button panel.

    There was idea to make buttons with dynamic text. There was button of this kind by NightEagle I think, look for it in addons. I'm not sure if it still works after recent updates.

    two things:
    1. Get out of my wiremod Rybec
    2. That's not what he was asking for. He says that each button is its own model, instead of a different skin. So, delete the 50+ models that are pointless, and keep only two models to be used. Then, have an option to choose the skin from a drop down list or something. This way, it would save a crapload on download sizes, since instead of 50+ models AND bitmaps, you have 50+ bitmaps. Er, Targas.
    I totally agree with Rybec, as I often do.
    I don't know why this wasn't posted before, it is just such an obvious idea.

    I thought there was only like... 2 models, just different icons for the different skins. But now I see that they're all they're own models; I totally agree.

    Pointless things that are pointless, are pointlessly pointless, therefore pointlessness is pointless.
    So pointlessly pointing out the pointlessness of this pointless signature is utterly pointless.
