[HELP] Custom skin

[jyrno42]

I wanted to test out the custom skin texture feature and i have a problem.

My testing script has two scripts.

server.lua

-- A copy from wiki, just for testing.
function joinHandler()
local x = 1959.55
local y = -1714.46
local z = 10
spawnPlayer(source, x, y, z)
fadeCamera(source, true)
setCameraTarget(source, source)
outputChatBox("Welcome to My Server", source)
setPedSkin ( source, 7 )
end
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), joinHandler)

client.lua

function modStuff()
local txd_7 = engineLoadTXD ( ":HELL/7.txd" )
engineImportTXD ( txd_7, 7 )		
outputChatBox("IMODS")
end
 
 
addEventHandler( "onClientResourceStart", getRootElement( ),
   function ( startedRes )
       modStuff();
   end
);

Both of the messages are showing, and debug script doesn't have anything. But I spawn with the default version of skin 7.

BTW: Yes the skin file is in my meta.xml .

None of the engine functions work well and there is no theory that fixes them, they either work or not. You may have many problems with them all the time. The most annoying thing is white skin which has no texture loaded at all.

Try to spawn player once he's downloaded and replaced his skin texture (onClientResourceStart) or change his skin ID once he's texture was changed (yes, the same ID that he spawned with).

Thanks, 50p. After some hair pulling I got it working with skin 13. But not with 7.
