I put a texture into a preview file, and when i do the /lp 0 tjing it does not work, why is that?

try put in another folder.
maybe "test"
put the .tga textures and do /lp 0 or 1 test

Are u sure its the right size n name..

QFT. It needs to be the exact name of the different body parts : head.tga (.tga is the extension obviously) etc...

The size of the textures are 128x128px. No RLE Compression (amirite?).

And make sure you have copied the right name in /lp 1 xxx.

As someone said previously, try to put test as a folder name ; it would be easier.

The last option is that you've created your custom folder in the wrong version of Toribash, like in 3.72. Check out if it's really 3.8

It is 3.8, and i've done all those things, it just wont work.

If you got everything right, then put them in a custom folder and make the folder Read-Only.

Then do the load player command and it should work.

Note that you must not use the /dl command.

I've done everything possible to man, and it just wont friggin work.

What are the names of the textures?

Also note that the ".tga" is file extension, it's not supposed to be a part of the actual file name.

there was l_bicep and r_bicep.

First of all, /lp some else already in your custom folder. Just to make sure your /lp crap works in the first place.
If that works, then copy paste someone else's texts into your test folder. /lp.
If that works, then there's nothing wrong, you're just not doing it right.
If that doesn't work, err, iunno.

Posts some screenies too.
