The reason the adventurer skin consistently appears in the place of a custom skin has been addressed, however, what causes a random skin to display instead of a custom skin SOMETIMES? I finally got my skin close enough to what I want that I'm willing to use it until I can be bothered to touch it up, but every now and then, it randomly starts displaying Sorcereress2 instead of twily2, even on my screen. I've checked the dimensions, the colours are right, the corner dot is the right colour, the guidelines are solid... What am I doing wrong?

Okay...I know modding is looked down upon, but this was basically my first time doing it. I'm planning to do my own now that I've got some experience with pixel art, and I'm putting in the credits frame, under the original credits, that I modifed it. I took a skin of sprites of Setsuna from LB2 and re-colored it, taking bits of the outfit away adding totally new parts so it's not like I just messed with the color palette. I never touched the layout. For some reason, it still shows an Adventurer. It's a file size of 34.1 KB and the dimensions are 1188 x 198. Does anyone know why it wouldn't show up? Thanks for reading.

It shouldn't matter, alot of the creators aren't the original creators..
Most of the mugen characters you see have been edited so many times its hard to count. They are basicly free to edit anyways since people use them for games, hense the free mugen creator you can find, and download with most sff. files.

Sorry for a very newbish question. How do you turn your skin into the RLE format, other than by overwriting others'?

Hey guys, Quick question. Why is my skin a cat? The Book of Skins shows it as the skin I made, and so does WoSViewer. At first, the magic frame wasn't working, because I didn't have the width correct, but I could see the rest of the frames in-game. As soon as I corrected the width, all frames showed up in the Book of Skins and so forth, but the skin stopped showing all together in game.
It's not showing random skins, just the cat.
Any help?

Catter helped me with it. The file name was too long. I swear this skinning thing's harder than scripting! =P
Thanks anyway guys!

Just to bring this up, you know most mugen creators don't like this sorta deal unless you ask them for permission, right?
It's just that ripping the sprites originally and getting timing and that good jazz isn't easy at all folks.
[ 07-15-2006, 08:44 AM: Message edited by: Kung Fu Man ] **Kung Fu Man I hope your still watching this thread. Most of the skins you find on Mugeneration or other skinning sites for the basic download of the character are giving you the basics to work with, What you do there after is up to your imagination. Some of my skins when Compressed where Usually between 100mb-1,000mb in size depending on who the character was and How bad I wanted him/her to look! So most of mine would not transfere threw the game itself. Usually I would send people to my site where I had a zip of them. Mind you there over 8 years old But they will still blow people away! !
Update: The site is still up and Running, I do not know if the links are still working. Vista won't allow me to do skins anymore. When saving in Vista Program, It distorts the colors and images which makes it Impossible to over lap images as I have in my skins. Don't know if windows 7 does the same I hope not Otherwise I'm going back to Windows XP !
