Title: GV skin freaking me out - where's this coming from?
Post by: Waffle on February 23, 2004, 06:10:39 AM

Ok..working on changing some interior colors on the Tiger tank. Not changining the size of BMP, just color.

Anyway, I did a test color run on "Tiger1.bmp"...saved it, entered offline and selected skin...it worked. I did this in multiple colors to see the mapping...

Then, I finished the correct versions for Tiger1.bmp, Tiger4.bmp and Tiger5.bmp, then saved those in my skins folders as 256x256 8bit.

Of course, this asked me if i wanted to overwrite the existing files, which I selected yes. I saved over the 3 interior skins with the ones I modified


I get into the game, select the tiger skin im working on....nothing changes...only the multi-colored mapping skin is still on it.

I go into windows and look at the files in my skins folder...there's no "mapped color" tiger1.bmp  there...only the correct skins that i did a color change on.

So, I uninstal AH2 and reinstall....get into game, check out tiger and wammo - theres the multi colored map skin on the inside of the tigger again.

The multi-colored skin is no-where on my hard drive. I even emptied the recycle bin of the one that i used as a working copy on my desktop.


Where's that Sumbeyatch file hiding at....lol and why aren't the other skins accepting to the model.??

Deleted the settings folder....then imported all my .KMP files from Ah1 settings....just so i could get around and have views.



Skins took after that.
