Title: Getting Custom skins to display
Post by: FTJR on September 26, 2009, 08:46:46 AM

Hi,
I was trying to share a custom skin with a couple of people so that they could give an opinon, but neither can see it. One can see the plane in the drop down list, but only sees the default skin.
We've tried renaming the files. Nothing seems to work.

I have no problem seeing the skin on both the skin viewer or offline.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Tks.

deleted.  Trying to duplicate.  Normally, only seeing the default skin means its not indexed correctly.  However, with you being able to see it, thats a moot point :(  Still working on it.

They can only see them offline.. and they have to have all the other files that go with the basic default skin in that directory named for example p51d_1

Offline is understood.

I had them save the default skin, then I sent them a copy of my file which contains the bmp, material and descrtipion, that folder has the suffix _2

Tks

They need to copy the entire default skin file over to the _2 file then put your stuff on top of it.
