You should be using '\' in SkinInfo.xml for all local file paths.

Whatever ^o)

EDIT:: Let's make a new topic titled "Discuss whether to use "/" or "\" in SkinInfo.xml" ^o)

To make it even worse... you should escape the backslash in your paths! :grin:
code:
<File>Images\\04.png</File>
This is because when you have an image called "nothing.png", the "Images\nothing.png" will be parsed as:
quote:
Images
othing.png
:P

I've only seen them with single slashes. Only seen doubles in scripts

That is called SCRIPTING.. This sub forum is called SKINNING.
I have to admit that these two words look like each other, since both have an S as first character and they both end with "-ing", but please learn to read properly and see the difference between them ^o)

Also, scripting practices apply to skinning as well since it's basically using the same resources and such. The \n is because it's a code in strings for referring to a certain data set.
Ex)
code:
30=%1\nhas just signed in.

No, strings are processed and so \n is converted to a new line. Paths are not however, the path is read as it is, else the skin would be looking for files with the newline character in them for example
