Custom Map Winter Skins

New topic

Hi,

I recently made my first winter custom multiplayer map but the game doesn't select winter skins ingame.
I set the "uses ice" in the editor to true (ice is also active and working). When I inspect the .info file it also says that it should use winter skins (see copypasta below).
What am I doing wrong?

I tried multiple different skins but it always uses the summer skin.
It shows the summer skin in the loading screen as well.
I tried custom and official skins.
Base buildings are using winter skins thou.

Any hints appreciated

	default_skins =  

	{

		"winter",

	},

I would start by opening the .OPTIONS file in notepad and verifying USES_ICE in there.

Other than that, I would just assume Relic broke it at this point

EDIT:
If your base buildings are correct then USES_ICE is working. I think this also sets the vehicle skins to winter.

If the soldiers are not using winter, the INFO text has an issue. Was it saved with the wrong SUFFIX? Notepad likes to add a .TXT to the end so you may have edited it correct but not saved it correct and are still using the old file?

SHOUT IT OUT!

OKSpitfire: I do like that they made the Stuka more expensive instead of nerfing it into the ground though. Found it pretty unsatisfying to use before that buff a while back....

aerafield: USF already is by far the shittiest faction in terms of countering blobbing and turtling, now they supposedly have one overtuned tool locked behind a BG and it's immediately a massive problem?

Lady Xenarra: I think post-2.0 Whizbang buffs, the price is too low esp since the Stuka got nerfed in cost too. Speaking of which, how exactly is one supposed to successfully dive this Sherman in disguise? Med tank spam running into SSFs?

OKSpitfire: A powerful, doctrinal unit that outperforms stock stuff? Colour me shocked!

Lady Xenarra: WTB Whizzbang for DAK instead of Stuka, 5 fuel cheape, 60MP more expensive and next to impossible to dive.

Rosbone: It is also hard to expect Relic to help Coh2 when they cant even make working menus in Coh3 yet, 2 years after release and at full price+ for DLCs. Thats like asking a fish to do calculus.

Rosbone: But this last patch has made good progress for grabbing players. All we can hope is Coh3 gets to Coh2s quality level before everyone abandons the franchise. Its Relic so they will completely f*%k it up as usual. But its a hope/cope.

Rosbone: Relic wants Coh2 to fail so players will migrate to Coh3. It is hard to blame them since Coh3 sucks so bad. It needs all the help it can get.

aerafield: @OKSpitfire tbh I find it quite challenging to get the Pershing in time, having to suffer through the CoH3 tickrate and this endless bullshit meta of massive blobs going back and forth to the forward heal truck

OKSpitfire: Well... going to be seeing the Pershing a lot for a little while, that thing is a monster.
