In the file name add “.bat” (you don’t use the speech marks), change the file type to 'All Files' your new file should now should look different like a couple of cogs. Then simply double click that new file on your desktop. It should find your location and then copy in the all new skins.

You can check by going to your skins folder and seeing that both the old files and the new ones with the correct names are there.

Any problems let me know ...

I hope that helps ...

S!


Excellent, thanks!

mandrew, I noticed an error in the BAT file

off_Pup_ace_t_RFC-54 1917_Oliver M'Stewpot'_Stewart should read

off_Pup_ace_t_RFC-54 1917_Oliver M 'Stewpot'_Stewart

there is meant to be a space between the M and the ' which is missing in our BAT ...

Hope that helps!

Yes it does. Thanks Seb. Corrected file attached. I'm not going to upload the CSV file anymore. I figure anyone who wants to do something better can use the bat file itself as the source of the changes.

EDIT -- See later post for updated file.

Stumbled onto another one

Kurt Wusthoff - His Jasta 4 Alb DIII OAW and Alb DIII are both labeled Wustoff rather than Wusthoff. His other aircraft are OK.

Jasta 26 Fokker DVII and DVIIF reads - Theodore Hermann Dahlmann

Should be Thordor Hermann Dahlmann

All his other skins are correct.

Thordor from Mordor. Thanks Ted. Don't guess I'd better take that job as a proofreader. wacky

Without looking at the earlier posts, I assume all I need to do is rename this as a .bat file and run it?

Exactly. Download the file, remove the .txt from the end of the filename by renaming it, then double click to run.

It will open a text window so you can see that the files are being found and copied correctly.

Going through the Jasta 11 files, found that Erich von Wedel's triplane skin is labeled - off_Fokker_DR1_ace_t_Jasta 11 1918_Erich Rudiger von_Wedel which is his full name.

The Campaign has his name shortened to Erich von Wedel.

In order for this one to appear in Campaign it must be changed to off_Fokker_DR1_ace_t_Jasta 11 1918_Erich von_Wedel

OK, added to the script (attached).

I need to check what's happening; but I was playing a QC flight yesterday. Normally just fly using default skins; but I happened to pull up the skin list and saw several "duplicate" names for the skins that I copy with this script. I'll be doing some experimenting to see if I can figure out what's happening. I wonder if I need to rename the files rather than copy them.

EDIT -- See later post for updated file.

OK. To get the list "correct" in QC, I need to rename the files; but I like capability of running the script multiple times and it works with no error messages. I'll see what I can do with error checks etc. so it skips a file rename if it has already been done. I'll post a new version once I have something that works reliably.

what about backup just the skins that will be renamed to a zip file/folder (or update an existing backup), then execute a command to rename those files.

Yeah. I've decided I don't like deleting (or permanently renaming) files. I'm going to copy the originals into a subdirectory (currently named "Original Skin Names") so we can put things right if necessary.
