sadly, I think Tribes2 doesn't like the "Big One", probably has an issue with that many skins in a single VL2...

Do we have a number of skins/size of file that we should use as a maximum?

i dl'd the big skin pack and it loads fine on my 64 bit vista.

I wonder if T2 does have a limit.... just like datablocks and functions...

T2 doesn't have issue with the number of skins, as I ran a script that processed each of them...
I'm not 100% sure what the issue is, but it's more likely related to the size of the VL2 file, as I believe T2 loads those into memory to process.

We could perhaps re-release with several smaller VL2 files (single, or massive zip/rar), or release a massive zip that they must extract to their GameData folder...

In the process of uploading (fixed) VL2s to my site (ETC: tomorrow)
Turned out to be an issue with the app I packed them with. :-\
