Author Topic: No cache re-generation for WIP/experimental skins (Read 343 times)

At the moment, any new skin triggers a cache generation at the game startup. A work-around would be to have a separate directory with only the files required for the skin viewer so that the cache generation doesn't trigger.
But considering we can have 100 skins or more (e.g. La7_0 thru La7_99), could we possibly have the game ignore skins with a _## suffix higher than (e.g.) 50 or 75 or 80?

Thanks for considering it.

AFAIK a new skin does not trigger a new cache generation.
A new model could conceivably do it though...

It does... See for yourself: Try making a new skin using the same directory as the game.

Ahhh I see what you are getting at now.
My apologies

Are you talking about just using skins in the skin viewer? Or when viewing custom skins offline too?
