try restart the game and re instal mod. another thing is that jsgme can get confused when you have a folder in a folder so here is a diagram. lets call it random. this is how it should be:

random v1

random v1

data

etc etc

so what you have to do is keep the second random folder only.

Thank's for the suggestion MagicSub2

For Example I have the folder called Typ IIA Camo skin folder setting in my
JSGME GWX 3 and it has the sub folders that start with data and etc.
It installs in and out with no problems with the other 7 GWX mods ?
I have
GWX Open hatch mod.
GWX Enhanced Damage effects
GWX No medals on crew
Green U-boat marker
GWX English Nav map and Grid refs
GWX Lite harbor Traffic
LifeBoats&Debris -V4

Anybody see any problems??

Thank's
Lane

Check in game under options/video settings that Texture Quality High is checked. If it is not, the game will not use any skins from the data/Textures/TNormal/tex folder.

The directory structure for a JSGME ready IIA skin should be data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat2A and should be in the form of a single file - the NSS_Uboat2A.dat. this contains the skin in the form of an embedded TGA - the typ 2A_Hull.tga. The current GWX NSS_Uboat2A.dat may be different from the one containing Fubar's skin. If you're familiar with Silent 3ditor & editing dat files, it may be worthwhile extracting the TGA from Fubar's skin dat & importiing it into the GWX typeIIA dat.

If you're not comfortable with editing dat files in this way, then post a download link for your TypeII skin & I'll see what I can do.
