Not able to use custom skins
« on: January 17, 2007, 01:04:31 PM »
Hi all,

if I should post better on "Help and training", please feel free to move this thread.

Following problem:

I am not able to use custom skins eventhough I set them to download in background. The skins are there, but in red letters. When I click them it has no effect and I am set with the default skin again. Some have asked me if I am a subscriber, which I am, others said it has nothing to do with it as I asked this question while in game. Sadly noone could tell me.

So what am I doing wrong here?

Best regards and thanks in advance,

Matt

Skins that are in red are one's that haven't finished downloading.  Have ANY successfully downloaded?

Also note that you can download individual skins from the AH webpage downloads section. Once you do this, they should show up as black in the skin drop-box, and you should be able to see them.

Rgr on the unfinished downloads.

D/ling them one-by-one is a real pain, does anyone have a compilation in a zip-file or know where to get it? Just asking, because I already see me spending half an hour picking one skin after the other :D

[edit]
OK seems a lot of skins are done now and ready to use. Thanks for the help! :aok

Just log into the MA, leave it sit while you do something else and when you come back you should have downloaded a lot of them.

On my normal hours of play it took me 4 days, and I play a LOT.
