First I would like you to now that I DID search the forum but couldn't find an answer.

Ok. I got some cloneskins from a guy named Satti. I extracted the skins, and opened the "38th Armored Division" folder and put the files it contained in my mods rep/msh folder. Of course with my luck, it crashed.

Did I install wrong or what? Please help.

Post an error log.

Ya, I'm thinkin' he used RLE compression or something.

There's 100 reasons why it could crash though. Gotta have an error log.

True. It's just that's the only reason I can really think of that it would crash from a skin. What else have you done, or, as Tean said, post the error log. Or post the mungelog. Besides, the mungelog is usually easier for me to interpret.

RLE compression wouldn't cause the map to crash; the new skin would merely not show up at all (default skin instead). Did you forget to copy the Common folder (assets\side) into your map's side folder? Did you forget to put in the dc: in your lua? Did you forget to do both?

No I copied the common stuff and put dc: in my LUA and all.
Anywho, here is a mungelog, what you guys needed.
It does say there are two errors...

Well there is the MungeLog. Hope it helps you help me!

You used a terraincutter that was not made correctly. My old DMI house had terraincutters that were done incorrectly. I got that same mungelog, but more errors because I had made more mistakes on other models that were in my [test] map.

Do a manual clean.
Quick little tut on how (memorized most of it )(*** is your map's 3-letter name)

Go to C:/data_***/build/world/***/munged/PC and delete all files.
Go to C:/data_***/build/sides/***/munged/pc and delete all files (in this one only is *** a side name; do this to every side you've munged)

Go to C:/data_***/build/world and delete all .lvl and .req files
Go to C:/data_***/build/sides and delete all .lvl and .req files
Go to C:/data_***/LVL_PC/SIDE and delete all .LVL and .REQ files
Go to C:/data_***/LVL_PC/WORLD and all .lvl and .req files.

Now delete *** from your addon folder.
Moral of the post:
1: Never use the stock "Clean" button that's in Visualmunge.
2: Always use a test map when you're not sure something will work for you.
Teancum, you say whatever you need to about the manual clean.
(And BTW, don't do one after every munge, try to do them as little as possible due to the fact that some models take forever to munge, and manual cleans just lengthen the munge)

Thanks man! My skins now work a-didly-ok!

Ahahaha! I feel special for fixing something! But, you're welcome. But BTW, the tutorial I gave you was lodged into my memory by literally staring at teancum's manual clean tutorial. And it wasn't entirely memorized, I had the actual tut in another tab
