right now, the sides of arms are the same part for the front, same for the back, but not flipped.
like so:


I illustrated how it works with a green splotch. I think that rather than keep them the texture on the extremities the same orientation, flip them to keep them the same relative to the body. This is particularly annoying for my robot skin, because the connecting area isn't oriented correctly on half of it.

There's actually plenty of room in the texture to add all faces. It would be nice to fix this sooner rather than later since any kind of change will make everyone have to redo their skins.

"there's actually plenty of room in the texture to add all faces."

What? I didn't say there wasn't enough room. I said that the that way texture is [i]applied[\i] to the model should be changed to flip one side instead of them facing both in one direction.

Yes but he means that you can have 2 different arms, since there's enough space for it. This would also solve your problem.

That's how I wished it would work when I was creating my skin. I guess it'll be fixed soon, though.

I can't figure out how to do anything on this posting interface. you can't have two different arms, it's not how the application process works. One part of the skin is the back of both arms, one is both left sides, etc.
