I made my first skin with paint, using Ice Punk's blank skin.
I swiched the file names around. When I run the game and click the
accept tab the game crashes. Any help????

Make sure that the image is 512px by 512px.
Make sure that the image is named Tank01.jpg
Other than that, I don't know what else to say.

Thankyou Spunky but all that checks out.
the size is 77kb does that matter?

File is corrupted... Same thing happened to me... I sent it to Dr. Saw... Got kicked for sending a "virus".
check with chilled

T raider, upload it and I'll repost it. Let's see if that will work.

Thanks Spunky I took your idea and made it work.

Heres a scrn shot of the skin, memorial day theme

Thanks again t raider

@ t radier
Great skin for first attempt !
I must say though and please take no offense to it,
get rid of that radar ! Your game will get so much better !
Need help doing this, email me and I will help you get with the times ! J/k :P

Yeah, great first skin, t raider! If you did all of that by hand, I'll be impressed.

Thanks but the eagle was a cut and paste.

@ t raider
Did that stuff I sent you help ? If not just drop me another line B)

Oh, and I've been using that old radar and dail up
just to keep things fair for the rest of you ;)

Raider thought you might want the brain I used in the tank I made.

It's posted at the bottom.

Hey lone how do you get a new radar?

Im still using the old one too! That would be sweet if it made me get better XD

Here you go !
Should have 3 files.
1) playGui.gui.dso
2) radar_base.alpha.jpg
3) radar_base.jpg
Put them all in the game/client/UI folder. Let them replace the old files of the same name.

EDIT Not sure, but this may be why the white box is showing up. Don't think the 3X Spider Web Skin has playGui.gui.dso, so download 3X Radar and use the one in there.

The radar dots will still be tiny, so add these lines to the bottom of the main.cs file;
for double size radar dots:
RadarHud.dotWidth = RadarHud.dotWidth + RadarHud.dotWidth;
RadarHud.dotHeight = RadarHud.dotHeight + RadarHud.dotHeight;

For triple size radar dots:
RadarHud.dotWidth = RadarHud.dotWidth + RadarHud.dotWidth + RadarHud.dotWidth;
RadarHud.dotHeight = RadarHud.dotHeight + RadarHud.dotHeight + RadarHud.dotWidth;

Here's 2 very handy radar threads with more info. Radar thread 1 and Radar thread 2

Hope it works. I haven't tried the spiderweb yet, but it looks great!
