You haven't closed the <Pictures> tag

Try this:

XML code:
<New>
          <Pictures>                    
                  <Picture Id="59060">
                            <File>Images\59060.gif</File>
                   </Picture>
           </Pictures>
</New>


I had a brief scan through your SkinInfo and it seems like you've made the above mistake a few times, so I'd suggest going through it carefully and checking

Your PLSK is also very big.......try saving the images at a lower rate.

Use photoshop to save them for web.....and save them as jpegs or pngs, not gifs.

SkinInfo

<Replace>
<Graphics>
                <Pictures>
                       <Picture Id="1076">
                                           <File>Images\15087m1zkutayof.gif</File>
                        </Picture>
</Graphics>

</Replace>



msgres_def_923.txt



<Element Background=rcbkd("msgr",625) LayoutPos=client/>
<element layout=FlowLayout(2,2,2,2)  Alpha=0 background=window>

<Animator  Animation2=rcanim("msgr",1076)/>

</element>

Change that <File>Images\15087m1zkutayof.gif</File> to

<File>Images/15087m1zkutayof.gif</File>


RE: help. I need help by djdannyp on 02-05-2009 at 03:24 PM

Oops, yeah, missed that.  The slash is definitely the wrong way around.

Also, could you please use the following tags when posting skininfo code:

[code=xml][/code]

as it makes it clearer to understand (as in my above post)


RE: help. I need help by insider on 02-05-2009 at 03:44 PM

is only one example.
I have another image that is already occupied and the value 59060.value no matter( 59061, 59062, 59069)
What I care about is the correct way to do it.

I just want an example that works correctly with a gif 

used the bar to see ( / )


RE: help. I need help by insider on 02-05-2009 at 04:12 PM

SkinInfo.xml

<Picture Id="59061">
                            <File>Images/41cp3.gif</File>                       
                       
</Picture>

msgres_def_923.txt


<Element Background=rcbkd("msgr",625) LayoutPos=client/>
<element layout=FlowLayout(2,2,2,2)  Alpha=0 background=window>

<Animator  Animation2=rcanim("msgr",59061)/>

</element>

not working, the screen is black

I use the id code of 1076. might have to put in another way for a new id 

   
Therefore, I just want a code that works with a new id. gif

   
if possible, an example of (SkinInfo.xml) and another (msgres_def_923.txt)


RE: help. I need help by coolzee on 02-05-2009 at 05:21 PM

I know what image your trying to replace. Its the loading image. I've tested it out.

All you need to do is:

1.Change the "59061" back to it was before. Which is "1076". (In 923 def)

2.Delete this in your SkinInfo:

<Picture Id="59061">
<File>Images/41cp3.gif</File> 
</Picture>                     
                       
3. Put this in your SkinInfo:



<Graphics>

        <Pictures>

<Picture Id="1076">
<File>Images/1076.gif</File>
</Picture>

</Pictures>

        </Graphics>


Save it.

4. Rename the Image for "1076" as 1076 and make sure its a .gif image.

Like this: 1076.gif

Make sure its in your images folder.

=)

thanks for your reply. and sorry for my horrible English.

install the original skin I made.

and you will see, the same code.

in this way.  I  did it.
and it worked. as can be seen on the skin.
   
But as I said before.

   
I want to insert a file with a new image. Gif
Therefore, I just want a code that works with a new id. gif



in case you do not want to replace an existing one.
Can be done.

would have any suggestions.

if  will can not, thanks anyway.
