We can't help you if we don't know what the error says.

It's the S_SKIN.

What's wrong with the S_SKIN? Did you enter anything incorrectly in it?

(Also this should be moved to the help thread)

Did you read the character creation tutorial on the wiki?

I did. But it didn't work when the S_SKIN error showed up.

There must be something wrong with the script you wrote. Paste the contents of your code using the

Code:

[code]

tags and maybe we can correct it.

Heres what I wrote:
name = Caleb
flags = SF_RUNONWATER
realname = CALEB
hudname = CALEB MCGEE
face = LIVSONIC
startcolor = 34
prefcolor = dark_red
ability = CA_HOMINGTHOK
ability2 = CA2_SPINDASH
actionspd = 374
mindash = 3
maxdash = 1000
normalspeed = 37
runspeed = 1000
thrustfactor = 19
accelstart = 193
acceleration = 100
jumpfactor = 9.0
thokitem = MT_THOK
spinitem = MT_THOK
revitem = MT_THOK
highresscale = 9.0

Make sure your S_SKIN script is above all of your sprites. If that doesn't work, try changing "hudname = CALEB MCGEE" to "hudname = CALEB_MCGEE". (It shouldn't matter, but maybe the space is tipping it off.)

It would be rather useful if you actually posted the errors that you get

Make sure there are no white spaces after the variables and stuff, then make sure 'skin name' in MAINCFG is the same as name in the S_SKIN.
If it's not, it registers as an error.

Well, maybe this will be helpful to you, just paste this-

Code:

name = Caleb
flags = SF_RUNONWATER|SF_NOSKID
realname = CALEB
hudname = CALEB_MCGEE
face = LIVSONIC
startcolor = 34
prefcolor = dark_red
ability = CA_HOMINGTHOK
ability2 = CA2_SPINDASH
actionspd = 374
mindash = 3
maxdash = 1000
normalspeed = 37 
runspeed = 1000
thrustfactor = 19
accelstart = 193
acceleration = 100
jumpfactor = 9.0

realname = CALEB
hudname = CALEB_MCGEE
face = LIVSONIC
startcolor = 34
prefcolor = dark_red
ability = CA_HOMINGTHOK
ability2 = CA2_SPINDASH
actionspd = 374
mindash = 3
maxdash = 1000

I had to make new wads until the modern one worked.
It added modern abilities Sonic CE to.
