Taproot Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Hey We are having problems with custom skins on our server. We are discussing if the problem might be because of the .DDS file size. They are prox twise as big as the default skins. 2700kb vs 5400kb. Will the size affect them from showing? The skins are installed on the server and on the players comps. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
nomdeplume Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Do they work in single-player? By not showing do you mean you get broken textures, or is it defaulting to one of the stock skins? If the latter, try to make sure it's installed properly, probably the best way would be to have the players who aren't seeing them use the mission editor or mission planner in SP and make sure it's available for selection. Also while I'm not certain, I would hope that if it's a problem with the files themselves (too big or whatever) it would be recorded in the dcs.log file when the game is trying to access the textures, so that might be worth a look, too.
HiJack Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Taproot! We need to test this more befor we can claim it's not working. Yesterday was just a test. Lets get this sorted during the weekend.
Taproot Posted March 1, 2013 Author Posted March 1, 2013 @Jack. I haven't claimed it's not working. ;) @Nomde. I couldn't find anything in the log. This is strange... But as Jack said, hopefully we get it sorted over the weekend. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
