Can't see avatars

Post by areelvestad »

Hi! :)

I have a small problem with the avatars in game. I can't see custom avatars online, and I can't applay that under Profile/Advanced --> Show avatars.. It's red, and when I click on it it doesnt turn green. Bad red-dot. Any config-file I can edit to shot them avatars?

Regards,
Elvestad

If you don't see any avatar in any game, then your firewall or your game is not properly configured.

Which options did you chose in the configuration window?
There are a few options, e.g. advanced configuration, game, "Ignore player skins" and "Player info. display type", and in Peer to Peer enable upload and download (this is for avatar and skin exchange).
And if you select an own avatar, skin or horn, after the next start the game asks you if you accept to share them.
If you say now there, your stuff won't be visibile to others.
And the same happens if others don't accept this in their game, you won't see their skins.

Btw. the "show avatars" option in the game menu is not effective anyways (apparently a bug), and this is mostly related to the chat (the avatar is shown when a player has written something).

I've checked, and all the P2P settings are checked and the other settings too.
It tends to show me my friends avatars, maybe it's just ppl who decide to not show their avatar. Dont know. I'll check my firewall, but it should be at the right settings. Thanks anyway. :thumbsup:
