Hi, I got a problem with the B-24D default skin. Still using the old skin mod I put a sandcoloured skin - skin1o.tga, skin1o.tgb, skin1p.tga and skin1q.tga -, in the folder #3WAW/00_Q-SKINMOD & REPAIR/3do/plane/B-24D(USA)/MTO.
Further I use DEF-SKIES_#3WAW trough JSGME, givin all load.ini's in MAPMODS/Maps. When I look at the folder vol_ItalyAfricaGreece, the load.ini gives CAMOUFLAGE = MTO. Only when using the default skin on this map in QMB it showes the skin I put in #3WAW/00_Q-SKINMOD & REPAIR/3do/plane/B-24D(USA)/summer. Then I downloaded the 'original' map and saw that here the CAMOUFLAGE = SUMMER. Renaming #3WAW/00_Q-SKINMOD & REPAIR/3do/plane/B-24D(USA)/MTO in -summer showed the sand coloured default. Does this mean that another load.ini, perhaps in the SFS file, is loading before the one in MAPMODS?
Something simular is happening with the B-24J; default is a red / white striped PTO skin which I can't replace in some maps with my default.

Attention!

There are two similar maps in my BAT all.ini

ItalyAfricaGreece(LAG)          LAG_ItalyAfricaGreece/vol_ita_load.ini
ItalyAfricaGreece(vol)          vol_ItalyAfricaGreece/vol_ita_load.ini

(vol) goes with MTO while (LAG) actually stays with SUMMER!
So make sure you check the correct map here. Mixing them up would explain the behaviour you see.

Thanks Vampire; I have looked to the mission anf found: War_Over_Italy - Mediterran_W.o.I/Med_W_o_I_load.ini, so there's another one. This last one is also camouflage = summer. Changing all three to camouflage = MTO doesn't give the right skin.

EDIT:

Med_W_o_I_load.ini is not in my folder for DEF skies to begin with.

so that one seems to always be loaded from sfs of course

War_Over_Italy - Mediterran_W.o.I

Is this really the folder name for the map?

[henkypenky]

HI, no that is the first line in the mission in QuickQMBPro/BAT_WarOverItaly/BAT_WarOverItalyRedNoneA00: [MAIN]  MAP Mediterran_W.o.I/Med_W_o_I_load.ini.
I now think there's no load.ini for this map in my Mapmods, search goes on. 

Edit: Ok, I now can say that the folder Mediterran_W.o.I definitive is not in the default* MAPMODS/Maps. See also Nicholaiovitch' post 'Map missing from all.ini file' at
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,56466.0/topicseen.html and Vampire_pilot's reaction above.
The thread for this map: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,16466.0.html is a bit odd; no screenshots, no download link except on provided by asheshouse (thank you asheshouse) and much confusion among the readers. I downloaded the map, put the folder Mediterran_W.o.I with only Med_W_o_I_load in it into my MAPMOD/Maps. In the load.ini was CAMOUFLAGE = SUMMER.
(This I also find very confusing; 3 maps of the same area and only one with CAMOUFLAGE = MTO)
But changing SUMMER into MTO isn't tha tdifficult, only the result is a Green camouflaged default Liberator. That was yesterday.
Today I wanted to put my findings in this post so I checked everything again. Still a Green default Liberator. Than I copied the line CAMOUFLAGE = DESERT from the MTO map and pasted it in Med_W_o_I_load.ini than the skin changed! I than changed DESERT into MTO and it worked! I've checked if there perhaps was a typo in the original load.ini, but could not find any.
Said it earlier; this game sometimes seems to be invented to drive me crazy!
So I request Monty to add the folder and load.ini to a future update.

Default* is with DEF-SKIES_#3WAW activated trough JSGME
