IntenseYen Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 hi everyone okay so i'm buidling a few skins for my clan and i've got them working in ModView, got them working in the game, everything works fine, accept for one thing...the skin icon doesn't appear in the player window, it'll apear int he corner of the screen when X is in the lead, but NOT in the player window... i've got 3 skins at the moment doing this, and i jsut tell the guys using them to console it, but that's so....icky, i'd rather have these things visible to everyone how do i fix this?! help! thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt-Liell Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 k since they show up in game this might not be the prob but check anyway: 1. icon must be 256X256 and 24bit jpeg file 2.must be named icon_default check it out and tell me more about the file and ill probably be able to figure it out! another possibility which im guessing its not is if u have more than 99 skins in you base folder.

IntenseYen Posted December 7, 2002 Author Share Posted December 7, 2002 okay, now on other skins i've done that have just over witten othr skins (i did a little work on the skin for the Dash Rendar model) the icon shows up even if i do save it in photoshop at 28kb (i have the option of 14, 28 and 56 i think) aside from that they're perfectly conformed to your 2 checkpoints, this only seems to happen when i make the pk3 myself not when i edit another Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntenseYen Posted December 7, 2002 Author Share Posted December 7, 2002 or i could just resave them in MSpaint, but that only offers a 24-bit .bmp format... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt-Liell Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 they must be 24 bit from all my experiences! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt-Liell Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 photoshop is one of the best! you should be able to use it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonces Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 What are you using to pack up your pk3's? JO seems to be very sensitive to the level of compression you use on your various pk3's. Try downloading a nice little program called Pakscape and see if that does the trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
