This would allow people to change the appearance of an 3D model attached to the actor without resorting to defining more MODELDEF stuff.

How would the texture be specified, though? Model textures ("skins") are not loaded as graphics and a MODELDEF entry requires either a path to the model folder the texture is in, or a path to the texture file itself. I can see this being possible in the former case but less in the latter.

Actually, a model skin is just a texture with no special semantics attached.

So... a TextureID would just do the job.
I suppose this would be akin to UE's MultiSkins actor property.

So graphic files in the model folder hierarchy can be accessed as any other graphic as long as they follow the 8-character-name-limit?

No. They can be accessed by their fully qualified name. Aside from that, there's nothing that says that a skin must be in that directory.

A_ChangeModel allows for this now.
