I'm already using berni's map-config with prefix support, so there's probably some other plugin bugging it out on my end...I presume it's zombie riot but it's on the "disabled" folder already so I guess some other plugins or one of map configs....guess I have to re-test with just sm_skinchooser plugin only just to make sure....much tnx for the effort and have a Happy NEw YEar ;-))
