Skin Management Update

[Skuzzy]

The skin management page has been updated to show a link to the sources used to build your skins.

If you have skins, released in the game, you can now view the files used to build those skins via the link in the released section.

Are you using your game login and password, or is it trying to use your bulletin board ID to log into the page?

I just uploaded a skin to the new page for the first time. It worked OK except it not produce any text in the Admin Page's "Skin Name" column. I did type "418S/RCAF" in the box provided.

Well Greebo, you found an error.  Apparently when you did that skin submission (mossie), the server timed out on the connection between the time of the creation of the data to submit and the actual submit.

I had to remove your submission so it could be submitted again.  I have corrected the problem by moving when the connection occurs and adding more error handling to catch the problem before it actually accepts the skin.  

Sorry about that.

The bulletin board ID is no longer being used.  It is expecting your game login ID and password.

k thanks

Thanks Skuzzy, it works now.

Just a question, in the preface at the top of the page, it mentions updating skins, though there is no option to do so, is this going to happen in the near future? Or should I just do it the old fashioned way?

Thanks

[Greebo]

I tried resubmitting the Mossie but after entering the file names and hitting the "submit" button it times out after a few seconds with the browser saying "Remote server or file not found".

I have been busy getting the HTC side of the submission work done.  Once that is out of the way, then the following "update" options will be next.

Update submitted skin
Update rejected skin
Update current skin

In the "Update current skin", you will be able to update the non-game content instantly (i.e. all the optional content as well as the skin information).

Once all that is out of the way, then the "adoption" option will get its day.

On our admin side, I have quite a bit of work to do as well.

Dang it.  I had forgotten the tables needed to be updated as well (sort of in the middle of dev and not really ready to release mode).  Fixed,....I think.  It is all theoretical right now.

At least the new error handling worked and it did not do a half submission, like before.

Tried again, but there is still something wrong. This time I got to the verification page and it said all the files had been verified. However below that it said "Skin Information Error. You skin information appears to have been lost. Contact support@hitechcreations.com about it." The skin does not appear on the admin page after I update it.

[Skuzzy]

Ok, hopefully this is all done.  I did a test submission and it worked, but it worked before for me as well.

Let's see if this is it.

[Greebo]

That seems to have got it Skuzzy. Skin uploaded OK with no error messages and is showing on the admin page.

It would be nice if you could add a link from the submissions and/or verification pages back to the admin page. Just so we can check the skin is there without having to relog in.
