Zandronum refuses to read skins/announcers folders

[The Toxic Avenger]

Pretty much the title. No matter what I do, Zandronum will not read my announcers or skins folders at all. I have them in the folders as "announcers" and "skins". Here are the contents if they could show a clue (the number is the size in bytes):

Announcers:

Code: Select all

FILE	3,531,303	all_caps_announcer.pk3

I'm also using my Skulltag-(name).ini as Zandronum-(name).ini.

EDIT: Seems to be resolved. Directory mess-up.

Kind of late, but I thought it was "ANNOUNCER" not "ANNOUNCERS"

[The Toxic Avenger]

Yeah, it's announcer (I have it as that). Pointing IDE to zandronum.exe fixes most of it, but all skins have Base sounds online. Can't have it all I guess.

Zandronum should automatically load all wads in the subdirectories "skins", "announcer" and "bots".

[The Toxic Avenger]

Other than the base sounds on all skins, it works fine when I point IDE to load zandronum.exe in a separate folder from Skulltag. That however I don't know what causes it.

I bet you IDE is loading a testing binary in a folder somewhere that doesn't have your skins in it.

[Konar6]

Unless this was already handled in recent versions of IDE, you simply have to copy over your skins folder and config to the testing subdirectory manually.
