[Import] Help with importing skins

[Verb8im]

This is a frustrating problem. I download a skin/model off hive workshop, import it correctly, change the path to what it says, and all it gives me is a shadow on the ground. I've run into this same problem before, and been able to get it working before, but I never know what I did differently to make it work. Can anyone help?

Do you restart the editor after importing and changing the path?

 

[Verb8im]

Yes. For some reason it's working now. I opened my campaign and it was there, but it wasn't when I saved the test map and went into from custom game. Weird

It's not weird, you need to restart the editor each to you import something.

(in some cases you actually just need to reopen the map, but I always restart the editor to make sure)

edit: inb4 I misunderstood your answer entirely.

I think the word 'campaign' is the problem. Testing maps within a campaign won't show the skins or models that have been imported through the campaign editor. However, starting the game normally then opening the map through the custom campaign section would show whatever customizations you made through the campaign editor.

I have had the same problem. I just tried to import it about 5 times when it finally works. I do not know where is the problem. Perhaps something with recognizing textures.
