Hello and welcome. You can introduce yourself here.

You have an error in your skin info. You have to lines that say "class".

Code: [Select]

{
name = "Tohno Shiki"
class = TSHK   <-------------
class = Megaman
dsnoway = LAND
dsoof = LAND
dspldeth = MEGADEAT
dspdiehi = MEGADEAT
dsplpain = MEGAPAIN
dstaunt = dsnone
gender = male
}
That line should say "sprite = TSHK", not class.

[Sark]

It worked now.Thanks pal!

Kapus, helping new people in need!

I have a problem loading my skin into MM8BDM. It says "Skin Jake9228 (#15) has no frames. Removing." What do I do to fix this?

[Ceridran]

Could you show us the base part of all the frame names, and the SKININFO?

[Jake9228]

OK. The Base name is JAKE (if that's what you mean) and SKININFO is this:
{
name = "Jake9228"
sprite = JAKE
class = Megaman
dsnoway = LAND
dsoof = LAND
dspldeth = MEGADEAT
dspdiehi = MEGADEAT
dsplpain = MM2PAIN
dstaunt = dsnone
gender = male
}

[Jake9228]

Sorry for the double post, but, I tried changing the base name from JAKE to JMAN, but it doesn't fix this issue. Is there something wrong I'm doing?

[Ceridran]

To be honest, I don't know. Maybe it's something wrong with the things that specify rotation placement.

[Jake9228]

Ok, I'm trying something different. I'm going to put the SKININFO in my skins/ folder in my pk3 file and changed the original SKININFO to a README text lump. I'm hoping this will work. If it doesn't work, it's probably a skin rotation problem like you said.

[Kapus]

It sounds like your sprite frames are named incorrectly.

[Jake9228]

Is that so? How can I get around that?

[Jake9228]

*sigh* Again, sorry for the double post, but, either I have to redo my wad or look at the tutorial again. If I can get my wad to work, I'll be proud.
