"No ♥♥♥♥ Sherlock" - IKR. (Sorry for being late to the party)

If none of you know what happened, ages ago; about three months ago - Mojang changed from a username-based skin storing system to UUIDs (you're now known as a number).

The thing is, this addon uses the old method of retrieving skins; Downloading the skin texture off http://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftSkins/<Username>.png, which is what the in-game dialogue window asks for.
However - People are now known by a UUID (aka. a hex "string" of numbers) and it takes more steps to retrieve their "new" skin. (Any skin that was created after they pulled the plug on changing the old skins).

So: You have this - You need a new way to retrieve the up-to-date skins.
(See http://wiki.vg/Mojang_API for more information)
Except - GMOD doesn't support HTTP requests... Does it? (Obviously the Awesomenium platform does, but does GMOD have LUA methods for so?)

ie. aytimothy (username) -> 29c91bd0538b4fb6b212e2393faff119 (UUID) -> https://sessionserver.mojang.com/session/minecraft/profile/4566e69fc90748ee8d71d7ba5aa00d20 (Info for skin) -> [Link to skin]

The update should be, when you type in your minecraft username, it checks the minecraft servers for the UUID so it goes to amazonaws to retrive the skin for the UUID, then puts it as you r playermodel. Also, make it read the new skin format. Another idea is for advanced users,they could just straigt put their UUID in there.
