Variants not working?

wickedss · #1 11-13-2014, 05:55 PM

Thanks for the updates! However, I have a couple problems (could be on my end but I don't know).

1. When I choose a variant skin (any of the blacks) and choose install it doesn't change anything.
2. When I choose the large persona variant and choose install it also doesn't do anything.

Same for me

Will look into it. I did not change the variant info.

There might be 2 issues:

1. The installer doesn't re-update the files modified by a variant after downloading/updating the zipfile containing the variant files. What I found I had to do is set the variant once and update the files (to get the new zipfile), revert to default and then set the variant again (to overwrite the default files with the variant from the zipfile). It's an installer issue, not an issue with the ProfitUI files themselves. It affects anything with variants, not just the skins.

2. I noticed in the update that the persona-window files looked as if the unpacked subfolder trees for the variants were included in the update instead of or in addition to the zipfiles. When I was maintaining Profit I'd unpacked the variant zipfiles into subfolders to make it easier to work on variants, then I'd pack those folders back into zipfiles as part of preparing the update to go off to Kaldran. That may have thrown Taltal off.

I did them as folders. Have just sent them off as zips. Oops.Thanks for pointing that out. Did not do the skins though so not sure why they wouldn't update properly.

I think that's #1 causing that. I've seen the issue ever since the new installer came out.
