Skin Test problem
« on: 21 07, 2023, 05:53:33 pm »
This has been a problem for me for a long time now. You see, I cannot test skin 120 in-game. I don't really know what the problem is. So, I open up txdworkshop > select the gta3 file > search for 'Triboss' > import the designed skin > save. Then, I test it in the game. I open MTA > go to the map editor > press F5 > and type '/ss 120' > but the skin design doesn't show.

This is the workshop;

(I already saved the skin)

A video testing the skin in-game;
I tested skin 101 just to show that other skin works

Maybe somebody has faced this problem before and might be able to help me too.

You shouldn't test a skin like this, this takes too much time and ruins Your game files.

Firstly, Download this: https://workupload.com/file/6nnVnaFMdjT

Download the .rar file and put the folder inside it in C:\Program Files (x86)\MTA San Andreas 1.6\server\mods\deathmatch\resources
Go inside the folder, delete the .dff file and replace it with the current id You are working with, so for example I want to work with id 101, I would delete the current "sale.dff", put 101's .dff file in there and rename it to sale so it replaces the old "sale.dff"

after You finish the png of the skin, Open the .txd file and put it in there with the skin's original name otherwise the texture will not show up and it will be a white skin. For example I want to test 101 ingame, I'd have to open the .txd file and put 101's texture PNG in there with its original name "WMYST" This is really important, the name has to be exactly what it was in the game files otherwise it will be a full white skin with no texture at all.

If You have any questions about this, mention me or PM me. Hope this helped  :)
