Skin Replacement..

[Luther123]

hi,when i try to replace a skin with the skins i downloaded from gtainside.com it doesnt work

and here's the code that i am using

function onResourceStart() 
  
    TV = engineLoadTXD ( "skins/285.txd" ) 
    engineImportTXD ( TV, 285 ) 
  
end 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), onResourceStart)

Any errors?

You need to add it in the meta.xml aswell.

Any errors?

no,there are no errors,its just like when i come ingame nothing happends to the skin.

i already did that..

try setting a delay timer for 1-2 seconds after the resource starts, instead of doing it right at the resource start.

    function onResourceStart() 
        setTimer ( replaceSkin , 1234, 1) 
    end 
    addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), onResourceStart) 
  
    function replaceSkin() 
        TV = engineLoadTXD ( "skins/285.txd" ) 
        engineImportTXD ( TV, 285 ) 
    end 

I found this helped skins load more reliably in the past, might help you.

If what Slothman said doesnt work, it may be an error with the actual skin.

Are you sure you've put it on client side? Check if the meta.xml is type="client".

Could you provide a link to that skin?

Did you replace the DFF (the model) too? because I think you didn't.

[Xeno]

function onResourceStart() 
    skin1 = engineLoadTXD("veg.txd", 22) 
    skin2 = engineLoadDFF("veg.dff", 22) 
    engineImportTXD(skin1, 22) 
    engineReplaceModel(skin2, 22) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), onResourceStart)

Wrong Xeno, when you're replacing something else than a vehicle the ID in engineLoadDFF must be 0.

function onResourceStart() 
    setTimer(function () 
    engineImportTXD(engineLoadTXD("veg.txd", 22), 22) 
    engineReplaceModel(engineLoadDFF("veg.dff", 0), 22) 
    end, 1000, 1) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, onResourceStart)
