Title: Skinners check your e-mail
Post by: Krusty on April 01, 2007, 06:33:08 PM: Got some new first-level responses back on some skins, dated last Thursday.

I got them for everything but 1 109F (Marseille's).

Er, no this isn't an April Fool's joke, by the way, just a heads-up. ;)

Post by: Saxman on April 01, 2007, 10:04:48 PM: For some reason they couldn't find the info.txt for my two Hogs. Thought I'd put them in the ZIP files but I guess maybe I left them out. I'm hoping the way Skuzzy phrased the e-mail meant they'd been accepted, just needed the info files.

Post by: Krusty on April 02, 2007, 12:02:23 PM: Hey, don't look at me! I got "auto responses" -- not really but that's what I call them -- on 6 different skins, 4 of which were resubmits, 2 of which were new.

I'm still missing the Marseille 109F-4, though.

I wonder if I should resubmit it?

Title: Skinners check your e-mail
Post by: Skuzzy on April 30, 2007, 05:06:38 PM: All skins, for this batch, have been processed. If you did not get an email either accepting or rejecting the skin, we do not have it.

If you never got a skin reference number email on a skin submitted, we do not have it.

If you got a skin reference number email notification, but did not get an acceptance or rejection email today, then let me know the skin reference number. I may have missed an email.
Title: Skinners check your e-mail
Post by: Krusty on April 30, 2007, 05:17:45 PM: I got a number for one, 109F45042307 where Pyro said "This skin appears to be for a neutral country during the Spanish Civil War." -- I replied that it was purchased in 1943, painted by the Spanish, but that I don't know its actual participation in the war, and that it was your call.

Didn't get an acceptance/rejection yet, unless that was it, just the number assignment. That was today. Could I get clarification if that was a rejection, or if that was just "we're still mulling it over"?

Post by: Krusty on May 01, 2007, 09:51:50 AM: Skuzzy/Pyro, can you tell us exactly how many skins are being added/updated for this release?

I'm kind of curious, because we went a long time, and there were a lot of skins submitted. I was wondering if there's 100? 200? More? Less?

Just curious :p

Post by: Krusty on May 01, 2007, 05:07:09 PM: You mean "on overnight... for the rest of the year"? :D

Thx.
Title: Skinners check your e-mail
Post by: kanttori on May 02, 2007, 05:44:10 AM: Skuzzy, did you get my E-mail on last weekend for the new ID's to all four Finnish Bf 109? Those ID's which I earlier send to you are too long and not visible in a skin Hangar. There they are once more:

Skin Reference Number: 109G21092204 = FAF/MT-222 by Kanttori
Skin Reference Number: 109G22011807 = FAF/MT-201 by Kanttori
Skin Reference Number: 109G62011807 = FAF/MT-453 by Kanttori
Skin Reference Number: 109G144011807 = FAF/MT-507 by Kanttori

They all have now similar uniform.

We must use those individual Finnish 109 signs (MT-XXX), because three of those planes (and most of the becoming, too) where used in the same Squadron LeLv 34.
Title: Skinners check your e-mail
Post by: Krusty on May 02, 2007, 09:38:05 AM: 2x G2s, 1x G6, 1x G14...

Why not just label it:
"LeLv 34 by Kanttori"

on all of them that are from that squadron.

If both 109G2s are from LeLv 34, name them

"MT504 by Kanttori"
"MT505 by Kanttori"
(for example, I made up those numbers)

I think most folks will get that they're Finnish.

Post by: Skuzzy on May 02, 2007, 10:54:51 AM: Ok kanttori, done.

toadkill, yes it made it.

Post by: Krusty on May 02, 2007, 12:34:42 PM: If you check the "So... It's Wednesday..." thread in the general forum you'll note that the skins are out and being DLed now.
Title: Skinners check your e-mail
Post by: kanttori on May 02, 2007, 02:22:40 PM: Thank you Skuzzy. Couple of repairs: My Finnish G6 is there two times. You can delete the "109g6_2 FAF/HLeLv34 by Kanttori". It is the same as the "FAF/MT-453 by Kanttori" which is correct. I checked them in hangar.

For some reason the "Skin Reference Number: 109G22011807 = FAF/MT-201 by Kanttori" is not working (downloaded it from the Downloads page) and it shows the default skin. Can you please check it, Skuzzy!
Title: Skinners check your e-mail
Post by: Skuzzy on May 02, 2007, 02:55:47 PM: I just downloaded the file and installed it. Checked it offline and it is the right one. You will need to connect online to get the latest skin version list.

Please email me the skin to remove. Inlude the skin name from the hangar if you do not have the skin reference number.
Title: Skinners check your e-mail
Post by: kanttori on May 02, 2007, 03:41:35 PM: I send an E-mail to you, Skuzzy.

But the "Skin Reference Number: 109G22011807 = FAF/MT-201 by Kanttori" is still NOT working. It shows all the time the default Germany skin. Also couple of my squadmates noticed the same. Can you check it one more time, please!
Title: Skinners check your e-mail
Post by: Skuzzy on May 02, 2007, 04:32:09 PM: It is broken kanttori. The bitmap file was not named correctly. It was named 109G22.bmp instead of 109g21.bmp.

We all missed it. It will have to wait until the next batch update later this month. Sorry.
Title: Skinners check your e-mail
Post by: Fencer51 on May 02, 2007, 04:47:31 PM: Skuzzy, 357FG P-51D by Fencer51 is not that plane in the hangar, it is some Pacific bird. FWIW.

Post by: Krusty on May 02, 2007, 07:41:10 PM: Skuzzy, Hurr1 HURRI16032907 "87 Sqn by Krusty" was renamed to "87FS by Krusty" somewhere along in the process.

Not sure why, it's not a US plane. If it must be shortened, can that be changed to "87S by Krusty"?

Delete the 'cache' folder in the game. Your skin had to replace another skin as there are no more skin slots left for the P51's.

Post by: kanttori on May 05, 2007, 02:16:27 PM: Skuzzy, don't do anything with the broken Bf 109 G2 file (Skin Reference Number: 109G22011807), please!

I noticed couple of mistakes and I am just updating it and couple of the other skins!

Do I need to send all the info texts and all the bmp-files (for ex. Dude) when I am sending the updates? Or is it only the updated file you need?
