PM me later tonight when it's all in front of you. We'll get it figured out.

Nope, not for me. I had to backup the skin.bin file, then close and reopen OOTP. Is there an easier way?

[targy]

I have tried that twice and there are no folders there. I though I had read that you have to change the bin file

[targy]

So do you change the bin file to bin1 and the install and a new bin file will be created and the folders should also appear

Oh, you're talking about the new mod files, not the downloaded files? Sorry. Yes, you do have to rebuild. As goes any easier way to rebuild, it's about 6 of one...etc..

You can change skins within the game, go to your modded skin directory and rename the skin.bin, then in-game go back to preference and select the skin you were using and let the game rebuild through that process. It's not easier, but you don't have to leave the game that way.

That'll work, I believe.

There won't be a new bin file. Just the new folders, including Images. In order to see "your changes" you'll need to rebuild the skin.bin file which means renaming it so the game can create a new one.

so let me get this right

1. go to the skin folder and rename the bin file
2. Go to the game and download the add on skin
3 Install skin
4. There now should be folders in the skin file
5. There is a new bin file
6. Go back into the game and reload the skin
7. that will create a new bin vile and then the old one is no longer valid

[targy]

You then rename the bin file bac to .bin from bin1

I rearranged that order a bit and tried to clear it up. That look like a plan? You may even want to do the first part of #6 (close the game) then do #4 and #5, then restart the game.

Has anyone tried to modify the "trading card" image? It shows up on the league news page, I believe.

Did this

Did this
3. There now should be folders in the skin folder
the only folders were the cfg and bni files
That makes the rest of the steps not valid


4. There is a skin.bin file (that you rename in #5)
5. go to the skin folder and rename the bin file
6. close the game, open it and let the skin reload (rebuild)

Are you getting the add-on message after install that X number of files have been installed?

[endgame]

Like that b&w version. Good work, ps.

[targy]

I will look at it when I get off work

Ok. Like I said, PM me at that point if you want and we'll get to the bottom of it. It all sounds harder than it is, unless you really aren't getting that download. That wouldn't be good.
