well, this might sound kinda stupid but, since the patch have you made sure you have the box checked to veiw skins?
failing that ya might wanna double check and make sure the skin is still in the skins folder. The new patch might have comprimised it.

I believe that they have a new naming convention for skins. I looked in my skins folder and the 190D9 skins are numbered ...

190d9_1.res

thru

190d9_12.res

try

190d9_13.res

No.
Only the folder would have to be called -
190d9_13

The bitmap inside the folder would just be 190d9

ideas we have LOTS of, fixes....well guess we r comming up short on them.
However upon reading pyros latest patch notes , he mentions a fix regarding skins d/ling in the background.
I know there was an issue with the f4u skins not displaying properly.
if the folders are labeld correctly AND they are in the right location and all your T's are crossed and i's are dotted and it STILL dont work, then either email or call the office. HT pyro or skuzzy can probably sort ya out.
Now, after a looooooooong day at work im pretty much tapped out of idears.
Just remember
"When all else fails, call HT he da MAN!"

What is the skin named?

weazely:

Normaly when creating skins off line just use the #1 skin.

So your Folder name should be 190D9_1 under the skins folder.

Files in that folder should be

190D9.txt the line that appears in the hangar to select it .
with out this file AH will not look for the bitmaps in the folder.

190D91.bmp the name of the 190d9 skin, note the 1.bmp does NOT corispond to the _1 it is just what we named the skin. To make a copy of the default skins in the hangar offline, just right click the D9 and hit save skin.

This will make a folder called 190D9 in the skins folder with all the bit maps currently used by the d9.
