This should probably be under The Dark Mod rather than Dark Radiant as the problem is that the mod code doesn't have a fallback. That said, the skin definition method in DR might need to be tweaked (if there is one)? |
 |
I'm not sure why this is a mod problem...if you add a skin spawnarg that refers to a skin that doesn't exist, appearing black is the expected behaviour. |

There are three ways to disable something (skin etc.): * Remove the spawnarg completely * Put in "" * Put in "-" The last two ways are sometimes supported both, sometimes only one of them works. Unifying this would be better, because mappers can't be expected to remember which spawnarg goes with with method. Another point for fixing is that this ("-") worked in v1.07 but broke in v1.08 and it is easier to fix the code instead of fix all maps or models. That having said, if you put in " - " (space minus space), then it won't work, and fixing the code not a good idea, because then we might just allow anything and ignore broken spawnargs, which isn't a good idea because it means you have no way to identify a typo or something that broke. |

Thus far I have only found "-" in the maps I have fixed. |
|

I misunderstood the original report. So "skin" "-" used to disable skins but now does not under 1.08? If so, then that certainly needs fixing. |
|

Yes, that is what I gathered from the report, "-" used to disable the skin (just as removing the spawnarg) and now it no longer does. It's abit unfortunate that for some spawnargs (skins, sounds) "-" works, and for others not. But that is a sep. issue. |

I beleive this can be closed now..? |

|
Just an update, this is still an issue in TDM 2.06. |

Work around is to correct or remove the spawnarg |
