help : every skin fails to load...
 

Hi, i'm a lotro player and i downloaded 4 skins and...
unpack them ok (verrified)
copy them to the appropriate location ok (verrified)
I kept the oroginal names and folder structure and I haven't
change them in any way...

Now when I start lotro and load any of the four skins
instead of the new textures i get a lot of grey boxes!!

I've got the european version, updated to 1.12.

Is this a known problem or there is some possible explanation
or is it some kind of bad installation??

The game runs perfect up to now.:D
It doesn't reinvent the wheel but what it does it does it sweet
and ...with magic!So I plan to play for a while and if there is a
game installation problem it matters. I post this here because I
believe it's not a game bug...:rolleyes:

You went through the information in our Installation FAQ, correct?

Could you please post your exact installation path? That's usually our first step in trying to debug problems. :)

It should be:

C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\The Lord of the Rings Online\ui\skins\< InterfaceAFolderName >\< files >

look like I did a proper installation by the FAQ....
 

Hi, Cairenn!

I followed the FAQ installation procedure to the letter..
The skin installation path is as you suggest:
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\The Lord of the Rings Online\ui\skins\< InterfaceAFolderName >\< files >

Note that I'm running a WINXP Pro sp2 GREEK installation and instead
of the words "My Documents" is the appropriate greek equivalent..
I also opened the .tga skin files and they appeared ok.

EU Lotro ver 1.12 updated last night 3-5-2007
Sorry for being such an :D but everything seems ok
except the skin appearance of course... :confused:

Hrm. I'm not sure what the problem is then. You are the second person that is having problems that is running a non-English version of Windows that has posted here. I wonder if that has something to do with it? It wouldn't make sense for that to be the problem, but stranger things have happened. :confused:

*Wanders off to find Frosty and point him to these two threads*

I'm guessing its the fact that the "My Documents" folder is written in a different language. Don't the skins look specifically for "My Documents" to be in the directory path?
