Problem with custom skins

Post by Toni Y »

I've figured out how to add custom skins to a CSBgraphics.dat thanks to help from Adamo and Kentaro's smelltools, but I have some trouble getting them to actually show up in game.

I've got latest CSBuild and CSBwin exes. When I paint the new skin with CSBuild misc->skin map it works only on level 0. If I try to paint on any other level, nothing shows up when I run in CSBwin. If I change any level's default skin from level info dialog, I see my custom skin covering the whole level.

So, the skin works, but why doesn't the painting to only select squares work on any level other than 0? :?

If you cannot figure out what is
happening, is there a way to send
your entire directory to me? I
can provide a place to FTP it if necessary.

I tried making a small test case instead of applying it in my dungeon, and it seems that it works on both levels 0 and 1, but fails on levels 2 and 3 when I use the misc->skin map to paint it.

Here's the demo:

I use the skin as packaged by Kentaro's new revision of smell tools. Levels 0-2 have some of the skin #6 painted on them, level 3 has skin #6 set as default skin.

Try CSBwin10006.zip.


Or you could just make your level 0 as big
as your level 2. :oops:
