Broken/Defective Skins reporting.

[xTbonex]

as above a place to paste file names for skins that dont work, or are broken.

Just checking through the skin folders to see whats in there. So far some very good skins, but also some really poorly designed ones., is there a way we can implement a 'vote off' in other words really bad skins people dont use, can be removed, to save on everyones hard disk space...

Ideally I would like to post a photo of what I think are bad skins, and everyone can vote to keep or delete. then the deleted ones can be blacklisted from CHSkins? I know ones mans trash is another mans treasure., but trust me some are so bad I cant imagine anyone using them.

report so far as follows: (I will edit this post as time goes by and when folders have been checked)

Albatros D5 - no problems to report

[Friar]

Does not reporting skins that are ok in here defeat the point of the thread. Will I have to wade through loads of skin names that are fine to see the broken ones. Would it not be better just to have the broken ones?

Love the fact that you are getting on board with this sort of thing though Tbone.

The Dogz are getting to you I can tell

[xTbonex]

I can remove the ones that are ok from the post, it was just to notify that those folders have been checked. so saves a duplication of effort in case anyone else is going to be checking the folders.

its going to take some time to cover all of them., so thought it wise to add a list of checked archives.

I accidentally added the Albatros post underneath, but i cant delete it I dont have admin rights to do that.
I was going to keep it all on one post.

You wont need to wade through loads of skins, the defective ones i have put the file name next to the plane type.
It should be easy enough. I will mark them red, so they are easier to see...

I am sorry if I came across wrong - it was just an observation - don't undo all your good work on my account.

What you are doing will be really appreciated within the group. I choose not to use chkskins due to the size, but if it could be tight trusted resource of only good clean skins, then who knows.

Salute.

Not at all, I see where you were coming from.
Ive been chatting with Sid, and we decided to share the load on moderating them, so I just needed to tag which ones had been checked over.

The intention eventually I think is to black list some of them so they dont constantly get recylced and thrown into CHSkins if they are faulty.
and as for the rest, its the least I can do to show my gratitude for all your patience over the last few weeks. Im happy to chip in.

Im sure most of you will like some of the new skins that are in the pipeline too.

I hope you will all also forgive me as I am a bit of a forum troll,. lol that wont change I have a boring desk job so my eyes and fingers tend to wander.

What you are doing here Tbone, is nearly perfect  Thanks for that.

You know what would make it absolutely perfect?

This setup:

_PzVI-H1\Tiger_Skin_Das Reich 8 (1).dds
_PzIV-G\PzVIH1_WildSau.dds
A20B\1 A20B La Patrona.dds
A20B\321st Bomber Air Regiment.dds
A20B\A20B_4k_8thGBAP_1(1).dds
A20B\PiZ-DoFF.dds
A20B\Test.dds
Bf109F2\bf109f2_skin_01 (1).dds
Bf109E7\Test.dds

This is the syntax of the file that blacklists them 

 

[FoolTrottel]

Oh, forgot to add; The blacklist file is in the folder where you put ChkSkins in. 'ExcludedSkins.txt'

It will be downloaded every time you run ChkSins, so do not edit it as it as is. Just create a new .txt file with the additions, and send it to me and I'll upload it  

Teamwork!

might not be a great idea to let me loose on stuff like that, I break things.
I will continue to do the checks first, and then we can talk about making the CHSkins exceptions.

Will be a bit slower at the moment, I had a quiet day yesterday so I got stuff done, but the rest of this week I have a project to work on for 'Ze Germans' so going to be busy work wise.

[xTbonex]

P.s. Im dreading the P51D folder, I've already seen how big it is.

No worries about the exceptions list, I will crack on with that
