Roadrunner won't load any new skins

**ice3d** · 05-20-2008, 03:44 AM

Roadrunner works excelent with the skin that came with the installation. I downloaded some new skins like crystal blue, MMiv2, and a few more. Then I changed the skin-path to a new skin, and start RR. I see a new splash screen for 2sec, and then I got this:

The same thing happens with all the new skins I downloaded. I have searched FAQs, but I can't find anything about this problem. Or is it a newbies guide for roadrunner someplace?

I have the newest adobe flash player...

Is your install in the default location?

if not, make sure the file you added to your RR.ini (or use Blue's config) file points to the right folder.

RR may not be finding the background files.
picspath=C:\Program Files\Road Runner\skins\SKIN NAME\Backgrounds
go to your " Backgrounds" folder and make sure folder is where the code said it is.
Make sure it is right.

it appears as if rr is trying to load the skin but cannot find the nessessary background images to display them. Quite odd. Check the skin folders to make sure the files are present.

Run skin checker

Thats a DirectX issue. Install MS DirectX 9 and it will go away.

The skins I have does not have a folder named background. But the skinfolder contains a .ini-file that points to a backroundpicture. Is that ok? Or could it be any problems with the RR.ini-file? Here it is:
