I think skins mess things up for other people

[TheGuiltyOne]

Ok, I tried a mod that had skins on it and people would stay on my hosted game and play. Now when I tried it with skins people will play for a while, get in a vehicle, and just keep going forword into a wall for about 30 seconds before quitting. I asked one guy that came back what happened and he said "gathering exception data" What do you guys think? Can skins be responsible for this?

idk, its likely, but if u join their game, then there should be no problem (ive played on a different server with a heavily change BG mod, and still played perfectly fine)

Hmm...I don't know. This only occured when I made skins. Also, the skins appeared on other un-modded maps as well.

Skins only modify the bitmaps.map file. Because you can't open this file with HMT3 yoo have to open a regular map file to inject the dds files. But it actually applies it to the bitmaps.map file. Thats why the vehicle skins you inject will appear on every other level as well. As long as you are just injecting dds's, you can play with anyone online.
