Skins and Sounds

[scot12b]

I have download all the skins of the website and pasted them in the skins folder, when I log in to the game it does not show the skins in the hanger.

I have download a sound pack removed the original sound pack and put the new one in. I still hear all the original sounds I am at a lost on what to do!

You cannot see the skins in the hangar until you have been connected to the online servers for a few minutes as there is one file the server has to install before any of the skins are available.

Also note, if your computer has Vista or Windows 7, and the game is installed in the "Program Files" folder, you will never be able to manually install anything in the game folders as those folders have been redirected to some virtual folders on your computer.  This is just how UAC works in Vista/Windows 7, which is why we moved our default installation folder to another location.

If you removed the "sound.res" file from the game installation folder, you will have to re-install the game or the next patch/update will fail.  NEVER remove the "sounds.res" file.  Custom sounds will override the default sound automatically, if the custom sounds are installed correctly.
