Ok, I have had days when I wanted cetian costom tank skins on...Heres the problem ill take about 20 minutes finding the skin folder of that tank
then installing
then finding out it was the wrong one
going back to change it....and then taking it off in the end...yes I am I picky jerk that like thing right.
Well I rembered that the wingman script can change your tank and team. Cool, well how about other things?
Is there anyway to make a script that will let you change your tank skin?
Also while im thinking, how about Tank Treads? Aiming target? Scrumball, and goals?

Is there ANYWAY this can be done?
it would be nice to have the same design.

If anyone has even the have even a tiny insperation to make a script for this, then please see if you can make it happen.
Thanks !!

Yes I would LOVE to see a script that can:

1. Change Tank Skins
2. Change Tank Skin Set (changes everything that is in a folder, like treads tank brain and aimer.)
3. Change Aimer

If possible, thanks in advance.

Make a folder and call it skin sets and in that folder have sub folders of the sets you want to keep. In each folder make sure that the names are already to use in game/data/shapes/tanks so when you want to change your skin you just select all in that skin set you want and then paste it to the tank folder and click yes to replace. Takes 30 seconds to switch out any set you want to use. Do the same for anything else you want to use in any other area of the shapes folder. If you want your scrum goal to match your bounce pads ets. Make a folder called In game items, and in that folder make sub folders of the sets of what you want. Copy and paste and click yes to replace, this way your not always taking out and having to rename and save. Always copy and paste, never move your skins themselves.

It's not as easy though, you have to quit the game to do it unless you are on windoze.

Would be easier to hit Shift + 1 thru 9 in game to change skin sets.

Yes you would have to quit the game, but who changes there skin mid game anyway? :P

^ Hmmmm Ice would probably do that if he could :P

Nope, I've looked rround. TGE supports it, but TT doesnt seem to be able to change textures of anything while in game... Well, we'd need C++ code edits to make TGE support it, so probably TT doesn't either :P

Meh, so what if I do?
excuse me stupidity Art, but I change my skins while in game and I dont have to restart it at all.
Why is this, or am I missing something? (witch I probily am)

Thats because you switch files, next time TT loads the shape it'll load the file, and as you changed, it'll be different. A Script was what I meant, having a folder like with 10 skins and a simple keybind would switch through them all IN game...

What if you change the skin ingame and then the script relaunches TT and places you in the last tracked server you were in.

^If you change the skin file you dont need to restart TT
