Image getting replaced "whenever it wants" by robert_dll on 03-28-2011 at 12:16 AM

Hi, I'm trying to replace an image (1751), but each time I start Messenger I get a different result, it can get loaded, loaded like if I had another image above with transparency, or simply it does not get loaded at all. I'm using this code:

code:
<SkinInfo>
    <Information>
        <Name>Skin Name</Name>
    </Information>

    <MessengerSkin>
        <ResGroup>
            <Restrictions>
                <MsgVersions>
                    <Version Major="15" Minor="4"/>
                </MsgVersions>
            </Restrictions>

            <Resources>
                <Replace>
            <!--Windows>

            </Windows-->

                            </Metadata>

                    </Pictures></Graphics>

It seems to be a MP! bug from what I understand, it also happens to me when I replace resource 48200 (dp borders and other stuff) sometimes it loads the default resource, I hope it can be solved soon.

If this is a bug, it is really annoying, how can we make skins with a bug of this kind? If we get random results it is diifficult to know if what we are doing is really working or not... =/

Thanks for the reply LuckyMe

Yeah, I can't really seem to find the conditions under when it happens either. It is a really really random occurrence.

Generally it happens to me when my auto sign in fails or when I open a second instance of Messenger. But again doesn't happen all the time.

Would definably have to do with how the image is being replaced by Messenger Plus! itself.

It happen to me too, when i was working on my PlayStation skin. I hope this get fix soon if its Plus! problem.

I achieved to get this fixed by removing the UM info tags, but they are useful for my skin...

Nope, both SWTCH and Ev0 have no UM info on resource 48200 and it still does the bug. Its completely random.

I guess the problem you are describing is a different one, but with a similar behavior. In this case, I was getting an undesired result in almost every messenger run.
