Title: Skins Batch
Post by: Skuzzy on March 02, 2017, 02:13:07 PM
Did not release a skins batch when we switched the new tour due to some synchronization issues with the skins database and our internal skins database.

Happened when we moved a bunch of skins to the default location before we released AH3.  I forgot to go back and sync the databases once we went live with AH3.

I have to get that done before we can release a batch as it will cause some issues for some of the new skins submitted.

Should be able to release a batch tomorrow (Friday).

Thanks for the update. I was worried a few scenario pilots weren't going to get their new K-4.

Well, you guys have been busy!  I am pretty sure I am not going to be able to get the skins out today.  62 skins takes some time to get through!

Way to go!  I think this might be the biggest batch of skins ever done in one month!

62 skins?  One Month?  Where are all the posts showing work / final versions of these skins?

Probably includes updates as well. Hell, I updated the spec and normal maps for 16 of mine this month.

First question that came to my mind, too.   Have the skinners become less of a community, less willing to share/show work than they used to be?   Especially if they are updates I'd be interested in seeing the before and after pics...

Well for my skins, I'm simply fixing the high gloss and mismatched normal map problems. Just quick and dirty, but definitely better than they were.

I know I will be from now on.   

Will be privately if at all. 

Still feel like having a stroke or something.

About half those skins are probably mine, either new or updated. I have posted screenshots of all of them in the AH III beta and skins forum over the last year or so. The reason I didn't release them in the previous batch was due to a misunderstanding between Skuzzy and myself concerning default skins.

Here is a collage of the thumbnails for this batch of skins.  19, or so, are not show as the skiiner did not submit any thumbnails.

Any way skinners sending these thumbnails is required so we can see new skins like this each release?

We really cannot require them to submit those screenshots, as those are not part of the skin.

If they want to add them, then can do it later.  Does not have to be done at new submission time.

Skuzzy, can we edit the text descriptions at the top of the skin page?   I found typos in mine along with formatting errors that would be nice to fix.    This may be obvious but somehow I am thinking I can't do it.   Perhaps I missed something.

The name of the skin is cast in stone.  I am working on getting an edit box for the description/information about the skin for the next update to the skinadmin page.

If you have a typo you need to correct, for the name of the skin, just let me know what it is and I'll have to do it.

Awesome, thanks.   Skin names look right so no worries there.   :salute
