Hey peeps im sure we are all aware of the current kw skins which are available.However I was wondering if its possible to make more skins, different types etc... Exclusive skins could be given to tourney winners/runner ups etc,or we could have contest giveaways. i think it would be a good addition to the community.

You mean unit skins like those given with the Tiberium Wars Kane Edition? That would be a stretch. You see, everyone actually has the data necessary to use those skins (textures, coding etc.), but in order to enable them in a non-Kane Editon copy of TW or any copy of KW, you need Kane#: http://bibber.eu/downloads/cnc3-kane-sharp/ (also provided in the 1.02+ installers). Also, it only changes the skins for the player in question and everyone sees the change (so it's not local, there must be additional coding determining that).
To make something like that, one would need to distribute the files to everyone who uses Kane's Wrath, and would cause complete incompatibility with those who haven't got that. Diving into a project like that would be rather stupid.
That there is from a mod map. You can either modify every map or modify the game itself. Either way, too much work, no reward, backfire in shape of online incompatibility.
its possible to have custom skins without causing incompatibility, but unlike kane edition skins those custom skins wouldnt show up for other players - theyre basically just modifications for the local client
What if additional skins were added to the 1.02+ map packs, then would people with 1.02+ be able to see those skins regardless of whether they enable them or not?

Yes, that is how it will work with our custom project. I am reskinning a bunch of objects and everyone playing the map will see those skins. There are options to enable or disable skins by way of scripts in the worldbuilder, but there are many limitations.
