Custom skin problem since update.

thanks for your answer !

But since the choice of the color ingame doesn't affect the real energy color, how to modify it?

Hi again...

Could you tell me what changed with the last updates about skins ? Because now, it's impossible to do anything. My skins won't be read in anyway by the game.

Yep.. I know dude.. I started to work on your CPLAY skin, and when I wanted to check some first steps/tries, no skin changes were displayed. Neither with the new one, nor with my old ones.

I mean, I know everything is good : zip files, none missing, I tried with the two different type of file names (ex : Normals & Body_N). The thing is that new "models" appear in the menu under the player preview, with the right name, but they all look like the standard skin.

I'm a bit fed up with that shootmania mess. It's apparently not the case with Trackmania, and I don't understand what's going on with SM.

Can other people confirm that? are all custom skins broken or only yours?
Also, the difference between TM and SM is "the years", TM has had its big troubles in its yougness (election bug, direction bug to name a few)

I just tried with a Maniapark Skin, freshly downloaded, and it also doesn't appear.
Someone else should try to confirm. I still use the old folder :

C:\Users\Administrateur\Documents\ManiaPlanet\Skins\Vehicles\Arenaplayer to put my skins.

And when I talk about the differences between SM and TM², it's about the skin system. It has been changed without any notice, several times. Just explaining the changes while making them would have made everything more easy.

The energy color can't be changed anymore, instead of just letting the option to the player to chose to see that change or not, on the other players having a custom skin. Seriously, I don't remember that while playing anymode, the energy color was a problem. If the aura color is ok, it's way enough for me at least.
So now, the skins HAVE to integrate red an blue color anyway. Which, from a graphic point of view, is not possible 99% of the time, according to the colors of the team which the skin is made for.

I'm making a skin for CPLAY Tt.e currently. They are all Red/White/grey scale. How the FAK am I supposed to do something nice while having this blue energy color ? For the replays it's probably ok because you can change it though.

Locking things like that is just not the good way I think.
