Guys can you please do those of us that use DCG a favor? There is a 20 character limit for skin folder id (DogfighterID). If this is exceded, DCG will crash. So please do not give skin folder names that are longer than 20 characters. Thank you.
FOR AN EXAMPLE: Fw-190D-9_Late_DZZMod is too long.

Why not just modify DCG to allow greater than 20 characters?

I edited your title.
Topics should not be in ALL CAPS.
This indicates that you are shouting and it is actually harder to read all caps text than properly written text.

Also, wrong place for this topic

Yes, I also moved it after realising that...

Thanks for moving it
I wanted to bring attention to the topic and wasn't trying to shout

OK - here is an idea - what files fo I need to edit to change the name of the skin folder sucessfully?
- ArcticViper - 17.08.2009
I'm afraid it's not that simple... the skins folder uses the name as it appears in the air.ini OR the planes.ini file, and uses that as the skins folder name. (can't remember which one)
That means that you can't just change a skin folder name by simply editing your .ini files, because the game will no longer find the planes...
So it's a thing that should be considered by the modders when they first make the plane.
Hope that helps, even though I know it doesn't in this case...

I am afraid it is not that simple... it would take changing the folder name, the air.ini definition, the plane_ru.properties definition, and all the weapon definitions in weapons_ru.properties. Once the work is done, it is not so eazy to change... I was not aware Paul Lowengrin had placed a size limit on the coding for DCG based on the skin folder name
it is somewhat of a downer, since i am about to release a new mod and i use the same theme for all my mods...
on the flip side, there are plenty of other mods!!!
