Does anybody know where I can find a skin for the medium tank "treads", or tracks? I found the one on renegadeskins.net (which is very nice) but the link is broken, and nothing on game-maps.net. Or, does anyone know any other site I can check that may possibly have it?
Thanks.
P.S. Some skins I add to the data folder actually cause my game to not run at all. Any ideas as to why this may be, or how I can fix/avoid this issue?

If some of the skins you have in your data folder (like medtank skin for example) doesnt show ingame, make sure you've set the .exe as admin as it worked for me.

Liquedv2, yew need to branch out a little on your thinking. I'm sure you'll twig it soon enough, but you're barking up the wrong tree.
The map is budding with new ideas and great game-play, AitcraftKiller just has to get to the root of the problem, it seems to have him pretty stumped right now.
Leaf him alone, he's doing a good job. I'm going to go out on a limb here, and say this map isn't fir you.
Anyway, this thread is really starting to lumber along, all this over some sap's map? I thought the game was dead, but this thread at least is poplar. It makes me pine for the days of yonder.
At the end of the day, life's a Beech.. Who wood of thought it?

The term you're looking for is "texture" or "tex", for short. It is not a "skin". Skin refers to binding a skeleton to a model so that it animates.
|
I think most would agree that his definition of a "skin" is very common and accepted... No need to go all nerdy on him and try to give him a lesson in proper modding terms.
In case you say that was supposed to be a joke and tell me to lighten up, it sucked ass and just made you look like a know it all douche... Gotta cover all bases in this place.

I often find myself in agreement with Aircraftkiller. I find it quite unintelligent of people in the same scenario where someone is called a "hacker", when in fact they are "cheating", which has no direct relation. It's never really a great idea to promote the dumbing-down of society. Formalities can be breaking in situations where it matters. Not that any of what I just typed out has any relevance for anyone here to care because it's a gaming forum.. or the fact that it derails the topic from the OP's question, but it is an interesting subject/matter to think about when you have nothing else going on.

maybe the skins you try to install on your data folder are corrupt or something else can cause those. make sure you got those skins from a good source (and aren't cheats or advantage skins...)
to avoid this, try not to install those skins or tell to its creator to fix them.
ps: i looked on that link of skin, is just thread skin, the moving parts of the tank not the actual tank skin.

Fun thing is, both are correct.
One is not technically correct, but is correct in the "offline" world. If you want to make something different you apply a skin to it. For those who are not that much into the subject, it is only logical to apply the real world word for the process.
I guess it's comparable with people using current, voltage and power mixed as well, while they are very different things.
So technically there is a difference, that's true, but in terms of linguistics, skins would be right as well.

I see how calling cheaters "hackers" is a pretty misleading or whatever, but for as long as I have been around online gaming it has always been understood that a "skin" could equal a texture modification.
Granted I have only been in the online world for about 7-8 years, and some of you have obviously been around longer.
I would say the word "skin" is a good description of what he was looking for. If you disagree, just google search and see how many game websites have "skin" categories and what is in them...
I have done some re-textures myself, most probably would not like them, but "beauty is in the eye of the beholder".
When I searched for resources, "texture" was often the best keyword, to find good patterns. No where in my searches have I ever seen anyone say, "it's not called a skin"... For you more technical people I could see you like proper terms, but it is kinda arrogant to correct lesser informed people. When it is obvious what they mean.
I would say in my personal opinion the best uses would be as follows:
Texture = any pattern before applied to model
Skin = pattern that has been applied to specific model
Obviously calling the sky green is stupid, but that is a completely different idea.

"Skins" in this context comes from people modding games like Quake back in the day. It meant creating a new character or look, without altering the model. For example, turning the Quake guy into Spider-Man. I've never understood the hostility towards this definition, especially since it is so similar to a skin for a browser (it changes the look, but nothing else.) It makes sense to me, particularly because it's usually in reference to a humanoid character model. People don't tend to say they're going to "skin" a map.
Here's an example: Polycount circa 2000. http://web.archive.org/web/20000815070639/http://www.planetquake.com/polycount/ Everybody referred to a re-textured character model as a skin back then. It was, and still is, very widespread. If it was ever the incorrect usage of a term that described something else, at this point it has become a new definition of the word. It has even made it to the Wikipedia page for skin (disambiguation)

The very fact that Aircraftkiller is still having to correct people here, shows how futile it is to fight against new word definitions and slang, once they go mainstream. On other internet forums today, other people are asking questions about "skins", and there will never be enough time in the day to introduce all of these people to that picture of a dead bear.
