View Full Version : some help in making skinner2
in the last 2 days i was working on a program that will help me (and you) to manege mods.
but it's not as simple as in SB1, this time there are more then 1 file per unit, and more then 1 unit per skin (m113 - miclic,tow etc)
and i need your help to associate each unit with its file.
here is what it looks like at the moment:

Good idea your program. Just let me think about it and your problem. I'll try to help you. As I see, you write it in VisualBasic 6?
Will you have a folder with all the availible skins/mods in your programm directory and depending in the selection in your prog copy this to the mods folder in "My Files"-Dir?

yep, it will copy files from a folder containing all of your mods to the "My Documents" mode folders (to the 4 different environments)

VB6. Too long ago. Some time ago, I noticed that the.net Framnework has some nice and easy to use functions to copy files throug your computer. Maybe lets develop in VB.net?
Concerning the files:
- the Leopard for example have 1 file for the tracks (you can keep it all the time.)
- and the files for the cammo. If I find the time within this week I develop one little thing and send it to you, how you could solve your problem.

Very good thing coming here!
Is it possible to make loadable/saveable "sets" so that everytime one doesn't need to manually change every skin. For example if I wanted to make a Fin set, I would change fin skins to all the vehicles they're available, click save as and after that I could load the set. Would be nice to be able to change from Fin set to Ger set with a few clicks! Possible??

Hi Nimo.
Can you make it possible to easy change skins on both BLUE and RED forces?
A Blue Leo2A4 can be set to have Finnish skin and Red Leo2A4 will have Swedish for example.

Hi Nimo!
It seems be working fine.
One thing that is a bit annoying is when you have made the settings and close the window for settings, the program always jump back to Blue Desert. Could it be made to open up or stay put on the last type of skins you use, for example Blue Woodland (for us up here in cthe wooded north).
Best regards
