You know on most tutorials how they tell you that you must go into the lua and add dc: to the code to get your custom skins ingame. Well every time I add that bit to a level it will crash the game half way through loading the map? If you want the Error log you have to tell me how to get it. If it is called BFront2.log then i have it, but its all just mumble jumble :?

Well then you obviously made a mistake in creating your sides, and since you said you made skins only it is most likely forgetting to turn off RLE Compression, another possible common (even by myself sometimes) mistake is forgetting to copy over the common folder, make sure you copied that too or else you get a crash.

I copy the 'rep' sides folder from the assets folder. And I use Paint.net and that turns RLE commpression off automaticly.

Post the error log anyway (yes, the error log is called BFront2.log).

Then that is your problem, you should have probably noticed that without me pointing it out though :? .

The one from the side assets. Copy it into the data_***\Sides folder.
