Skins in Offline and Lan Mode
« on: December 03, 2007, 12:19:20 AM »
So online, I have complete access to all the pretty skins in game.  However, when I'm in offline mode or in LAN mode I only have Default as an option.  

If I have a custom skin selected for a plane in online mode and then go into offline and select that same play, I get an invald skin number message.

What am I missing here?  Is there an Arena setting that is not set or what?

Anyone?  Bueller?

This is the message I get when creating a LAN game and having a previously selected non-default skin from playing in the MA.

LAN games are basically HTH/8-player, and that never supported skins afaik, but the offline bit is odd to be sure.

Try re-downloading one of the skins (just one) from the AH downloads links, and go back in and try offline again.

I usually used to let AH download skins in the background while online, and didn't have too many problems.


When in doubt, go delete your cache directory and rebuild it.

This fixed it, I was about to try this but didn't now if I was missing some Arena setting that disabled skins or something.  Thanks Krusty.
