My custom skins won't show? [Solved]

Post by (502)GEN.york »

I couldn't find a topic like this anywhere else so I posted this.

I added the DC: to the LUA so my skins should come up in game correct? Well I finally finished re skinning all my units but now... only the Jettrooper, Clone commander, and heavy trooper come up. They all are in TGA format, but for some reason it will only load three at a time. Though back before I finished all my skins the trooper and sniper would come up (the only two I had finished)

although i am not quite sure about what you mean by "... come up" i suppose you mean that those units have either no skin or still their old ones, right?
i don't think your problem is a complicated one. most of the time it helps to re-check all your edited skins and make sure they have been saved without rle compression provided that you are using gimp for skinning. when you have checked that and maybe have corrected some of your skins clean your side and munge again. that's all i can offer you as suggestion. when you need more specific answers please ask precise questions.

greetings,

Well just so you know Im a old pro for photo formats(thought I do have a copy of gimp ;) ). I use adobe photoshop. so I doubt its anything with name It might have been RLE compression but. what my problem is ALL the other skins ( Trooper,Sniper,enginer) come up as defualt.

so you did a clean and your custom skins still won't show up, correct?
and the skins' tga files have all the same file size of 769kb?

I'l try the file size though I doubt thats the prob because they at one point did infact show up. so to do a clean I just select clean? or check it in the box and munge? then remunge with the side I want?

yes, keep that common box checked and select "everything". then just click on "clean". you will be asked whether you really want to clean. of course you click on yes. afterwards you munge your side with the common box checked and then we will see if your skins will show up or not. good luck!
