Hi everybody. First and only post in this board. I have 2 xbox and one of them had the problem. The thing was that every skin that worked on one loaded ok in the other but i can´t change the first one.(skin) When just a skin doesn´t work i ussually change sizes, the skin.ini or the format of the skin images (.bmp or .jpg)

But in this case the solution is:

The evox.ini has some properties like all linux and shared files in win has. the typical rww or www or something similar. The thing is that the file has only read attributes so when you try to modify the file (even via ftp) the system don´t allow you. What i did was taking a copy of my good xbox evox.ini, renaming the evox.ini in the xbox to something like evox.old and uploading the new evox.ini .

That way it should override the problem

i've tried everything possible to get skins to work but no matter what i do the skins won't even SHOW UP!! only the original someone has to know what to do!!

I found a Solution.  You guys need to take a look @ the ini. File that comes with the skin, there are 2 important lines in there, they point to the directory where Evox will look for the skin.
         
It looks like this EXAMPLE-> Main = "\skin\dbz\main.jpg"
                                         Launch = "\skin\dbz\launch.jpg"

When I first downloaded the skin the name was just dbz, but without knowing the results I renamed it To Dragon BallZ Which prevented it from working Because Evox was Looking for a folder called dbz (shown in EXAMPLE) and not Dragon BallZ.

Nothing is happening yet... I've tried everything, still nothing works. I created a nice skin, took me quite a while, because there aren't any GOOD halo 2 skins out there (I don't know why, but that's why I wanted to create one!) Now that it's not working for my xbox, why and what are the chances that it will work on another person's? If you want the file to test it out yourself, PM me or add me on msn: [email protected] (yeah, I'm able to use gmail on an msn messenger:P

I have a queston about something. Maybe u have come across this before.  When i got home today, i hooked my box back up and when i go into the skins menu in evox, there is one skin in the list that does not work, by not working i mean goes to the original evox skin.  One of them i put on today called blu worked great today when i ftped it over.  when i got home and tried to use it, it just sent me back to the evox skin orginal one.  I have replaced the dash with a later  3752 version, and i have reinstalled evox with slayers and installed the 3921 version.  could it be somethin in the ini file.  because it does it on a fresh install of evox.  there are always skins u don't want after the install, so the ones i don't want i delete them, well the problem just goes to another skin. can't figure this one out.  the skins work i know because i have been using them forever.  evox just seems like it picks a skin to not work, if i delete the non workin skin, it just picks another one. help. is something screwed up?

I also ran into that problem yesterday. I had tried putting a certain skin on someone's xbox (blackbolt_consolev3) and for some reason when I selected that one, it only showed the original EvoX skin. I didn't really think much of it.

but...

I use the same skin on my own xbox, and today I decided to ftp over a few more (just to try them out), and while I was at it, I decided to try FTPing the working blackbolt_consolev3 skin from my xbox (where it worked just fine before), over to my computer so that I could load it onto other people's machines. I thought that maybe the copy I originally had on my PC (that I loaded onto the person above's xbox) had something wrong with it. So I figured that I'd FTP over the working one from my xbox.

Anyways, after doing this, for some strange reason I can't get that skin to work on my xbox either! Strangest thing. Whenever I select it, it only shows the original EvoX skin. I've even tried re-FTPing it back onto the xbox, but this hasn't worked either. I was going to search the forums here, and I stumbled across this thread right away (which seems to be indentical to my problem).

If anyone knows what the heck could be causing this, please let us know as this is annoying the hell outta me. I'm sure it's just something real simple that we've overlooked. Weird though...

Thanks

i know this shit is weird. i dled the skins from blackbolts site. i used all his skins. the redv4 console skin worked fine and another would not. then i would delete the one that didn't work and then the redv4 wouldn't work. shit!!!!

[thewickedjester]

i am really not sure if this helps, but there is a line in my evox.ini that, i think (i say i think because im at school right now and i cant exactly check) that says something about using the original skin, mabye its something with that?

P.S.
I have had this same problem, i hope SOMEONE fixes it

[nezff]

they all say that.  its just the original skin that it kicks u back when any other skin doesn't work.

I ended up downloading a few more of blackbolt's skins (thanks for the link BTW! I love his skins!). And I dumped about 4 more onto my xbox (and also re-FTPed the blackbolt_consolev3 skin) and the new ones all work just fine, but for some reason I'm still having the same problem with the blackbolt_consolev3 skin. Not really a big deal (as I really like the v4 blue one anyways now!), but it's just an annoying little problem.

[zappp]

maybe it has something to do with the naming of the jpgs?
im not sure, but i had the same problem; i fixed it by changing evox.ini - go down to [skin_original], comment out the existing contents, and then copy/paste the contents of your desired skin's skin.ini (everything after [skin_<skinname>].

[bborski]

has anybody comeup with a fix for this yet? its a real pain in the ass

The problem is the ini file that coms with the skins. The ini file points to a folder where the pictures are stored. You have to change this to the plase you store your skin files.
:rolleyes:
