(BUG) Custom Skins not showing up.
Powerless001 opened this issue ยท 8 comments
So I wanted to use my own custom skins for the regenerations and it isn't showing them. I put them in the folder. What do I need to do to make them work? The only skins that show up are the Doctor Who skins and the Website skins.
UPDATE! This is now a bug report. Upon further investigation the mod will only "see" skins that were downloaded off the internet for some reason. I can't just drag a skin from the files of my computer. To make it see a custom skin that I made, I have to upload it to a website, then download it, then put the downloaded one in the folder and it works. So there is a bug. The mod should see the skins if you just took them from one of your folders, but it's not. I am using the most recent 1.16.3 version.
Interesting! This is a issue I'm actually intrigued by!
So I assume that opening the GUI and searching for just the files name doesn't show it?
Can I ask what you use to export these skins?

Try this file and let me know if it solves your issue
As far as I saw the in game GUI doesn't have a search feature, unless I'm just blind/dumb, but using the arrows to scroll through the skins doesn't yield them. Updating to the new file didn't fix it either. Idk what you mean by what I use to export the skin. If you mean what website I uploaded them to, any website that allows you to upload pics and download them works. I just used a skin editor website. But I have found another fix. Most of the skins on my computer have been there for YEARS. Including the ones I am trying to use. I'm talking, "Last modified: Friday, November 6, 2015". So I wanted to try something. I took a skin and edited it in the program Paint.net and then saved it so its modified date would be today, and lo and behold I can now see it in the GUI and use it. Its a bit of an odd thing.
If you don't see a search feature, you're using a our of data version. Have you tried putting the skins inside one of those folders aswell?
