How to highlight squad members.
« on: September 05, 2011, 04:34:38 PM »
Like the title says, how to have squad members highlighted.

Makes em easier to find.

And since I've got a new computer and have reinstalled the game I've never downloaded the skins.

Is there a way to download them all at once while NOT in the game.

I've seen the download skins section and it seems you can download one at a time.

When you do it that way do you "open" or "save".

I tried to download and "open" a skin and my system said it couldn't find a program to open it.

Seems there would be a way to download them all at once, rather than individually.

I know this probably isn't the right forum for this, but would surely get a quicker response.

Thanks, Bobby G.

Log into game in the morning start downloading skins in game, and then go out for day :old:

^^^ Correct

About the skins, there are programs out there that allow you to place multiple files in a queue for downloading.  I know some here use one of them but can't remember which one was most popular.  Perhaps someone could shed a bit more light on this.

Highlight them on the map or just on your screen? Can change GUI colors for the map using in-game settings (Clipboard>Options>Pref>GUI). Highlighting on screen is Ctrl+S, it toggles the highlight.

As for downloading every skin at one, the easiest way is with 'DownThemAll!". Once installed go to the Skins Page and highlight every skin link and right click, hit 'DownThemAll selection' and save them to the AH Skin folder (C>HTC>AH>Skins).

as for loading individual skins...... you have to log into the game and it will update a file so that you can use the skins you downloaded.

Thanks guys.

So, if I download individual skins from the AH site, do I "Save" or "open" them?

here these are all the old skins.  then you only have the new ones to d/l inside the game.  it's a lot less.  dont pay attention to the file names they dont mean anything.

Save them to the skins folder wherever you installed the game to. I don't recommend downloading them all manually like that unless you enjoy carpel tunnel, though. Problem being that download managers are harder to use than figuring out the difference between Save and Open, so I dunno what to tell ya. :P I recommend DownThemAll if you use FireFox, however.

Right click on the link and select "Save link as..." and save it to your Aces High skins folder, usually in this location, C:\HiTech Creations\Aces High\skins.  You can try using a download manager to queue up the skins you want to download or as others suggested, log into the game and go AFK for a few hours while the skins download.
