Here, try this modified version 2.7 from first post. Modified lines 266, 278, & 1001

Changed

PHP Code:

if (FileExists(path , true)) 


to

PHP Code:

if (FileExists(path)) 


FileExists

PHP Code:

/**
 * Checks if a file exists.
 *
 * @param path            Path to the file.
 * @param use_valve_fs    If true, the Valve file system will be used instead.
 *                        This can be used to check for the existance of files 
 *                        inside GCFs or the game cache, rather than solely files 
 *                        that are on disk.
 * @return                True if the file exists, false otherwise.
 */
native bool:FileExists(const String:path[], bool:use_valve_fs=false); 


Perhaps FileExists (with use_valve_fs true) being called with "// NONE" that you have in a couple of places in your skins.ini is causing the crash?

I first tried to remove only "/ / NONE" it did not work.
Otherwise to answer your reasoning, I tried to change the skins.ini and you were right, I had to remove the unnecessary menu example :

//Configure your menu here
"Models"
{
    "Admin Models"
    {
        "Admin" "b"
        "Team1"
        {
            "Umbrella Leet"
            {
                "path" "models/player/kirby/regular/umbrella_leet.mdl"
            }
            "Kirby Robber Admin"
            {
                "path" "models/player/kirby/admin/kirby_admin.mdl"
            }
        }

        "Team2"
        {
            "CT Admin"
            {
                "path" "models/player/ics/fin_m91_v2/urban.mdl"
            }
            "Kirby Urban Admin"
            {
                "path" "models/player/kirby/admin/kirby_urban.mdl"
            }
        }
    }
}

Glad this issue is resolved for you

[St00ne]

Good job!

So, was it necessary to remove the parts he didn't need, or to modify the code with if (FileExists(path)) ?

I just have deleted the part that is not necessary in skins.ini

[St00ne]

Ok,

I've always said one had to remove the parts he/she didn't need, but in your case I didn't look at the skins.ini file since I never thought it could cause a crash...

Thanks for the feedback.

This might have been answered already, and I'm sorry if it was but,
Today I added this to my server and my server shut down. I am renting from Gameservers and explained that my server would not come up after restart. They told me that this error came up:

KeyValues Error: RecursiveLoadFromBuffer: got EOF instead of keyname in file addons/sourcemod/configs/sm_skinchooser/skins.ini
Models, (*Reserved Models*), (*Team1*), (*Team2*), (*Bobafett*),
Host_Error: Bad string:

Now I'm not sure what could have cause this error but I was wondering if you had any ideas.

Before this, I added everything to my skin.ini that I needed:

Upon watching a youtube video, I was told that I didn't need the reserved models so I deleted what he told me to delete.


I also included my files in the skinchooserdownloads:

These files were placed in the correct folders as well as on my Public HTML for fast download. When restarting my server and trying the skins, they were not working. The options were there, but to my friends I just looked like a regular CT or T. After a while, the server just went down without altering anything.

What do you guys think the problem might be... any help would be great.

You are missing closing brackets and had spaces in a lot of your paths...

Try this one (I removed the Reserved since you're not using it)

//Configure your menu here
"Models"
{
	"Admin Models"
	{
		"Admin" "t"
		"Team1"
		{
			"T600 Terminator"
			{
			"path" "models/player/marcus/t600/t600.mdl"
			} 
		}
		"Team2"
		{
			"Ironman"
			{
			"path" "models/player/convert_by_keris/ironmanD/ironmanD.mdl"
			}
		}
	}
	
	"Public Models"
	{
		"Admin" ""
		"Team1"
		{
			"Tusken"
			{
			"path" "models\player\b4p\b4p_tusken\b4p_tusken.mdl"
			}
			"Stormt"
			{
			"path" "models\player\b4p\b4p_stormt\b4p_stormt.mdl"
			}
			"Imperial"
			{
			"path" "models\player\b4p\b4p_imperial\b4p_imperial.mdl"
			}
			"Chewbacca"
			{

			}
		}
		
		"Team2"
		{

			}

}

BTW, using tabs helps a great deal when making your skins.ini

[DJ GUNZZZZzzz]

Thank you for the fast reply.... I added that to my skin.ini

The server seems to freeze up every like 10 mins to force me to restart, and the skins aren't registering.... I see everything loading up on the loading screen, and so does the other player, but when we get inside the game, after we make the selection of admin and ironman.... we are just regular CT skins. At least we aren't big question marks or anything, but it's frustrating because it seemed really easy to do.

Is there another option? And is there something that might be causing my server to freeze that I can fix? I know it's from Skinchooser, because it was fine before I reactivated it.

I'll give you any and all information you might need so I can get this working.

Thanks a million times again, I greatly appreciated it.
