Howdy,  I've been using skins for almost 3months without issue, and its been working GREAT!!!,  Tonight, when adding new skins, it stopped downloading them.  I'm getting an error in the F1 console "Skin download timed out: xxxxxxxxx" however I had someone else try the same skin ID and it works perfect for them.  I've tried reloading the plugin, restarting the server, removing and reinstalling the plugin, as well as replacing the skins.json config with a known good copy from my servers backup and no matter what, i can't get it to start working again.  Can you PLEASE help me?  Aside from deleting my entire server and restarting from scratch, i'm out of ideas...
Thanks

What do you mean by "I had someone else try the same skin ID and it works perfect for them"? Most likely it's client issue, not plugin. Plugin just sends the number, it's all about the client, not plugin. So network issue or steam issue.

My server runs out of my home on a 1gb fiber connection, that it shares with my gaming pc, that i use to connect to said server.... The SkinID i got from the SteamWorkshop, I provided to somone else who has a rustserver to see if it would download for them. (to verify it wasn't a bad skinID) and they said it works fine for them.  

I have 6 players on my server right now plus myself, and since this issue occured, none of us can load any new skins.  It just sits there with the 2 blue arrows.  So it's not a client side problem.  

Can you tell me what the different directories that skins saves data files to, so i can manually delete all of them and reload fresh? please?

It does not save anything. It just sends the number to the client, nothing else - that's what ALL skins plugins do. It's a rust or steam issue.

So i figured out what it was.  One of the skins was bad, and i threw it out of my inventory instead of changing it to something good.  One of my players had picked it up, thus keeping the # in the system instead of it despawing like i'm used to.  This caused the system to hang on that # for some reason.  Once i was able to despawn the bad item and remove the # from the list, all started working great again..

Thanks for you help.  And thanks for the Plugin.

Thank you for being a good user :) because I know some can just continue complaining and blaming me. Also thanks for your message about why it happens - will be useful for any other users.
