The purge did not work, But I seen this error upon adding a skin and making the plugin fail for me. 

Do I need to write it out differantly? is it somthing I did?

I can confirm that purging the cache does not work for this specific error.

The above error will continue to persist each time the "/skin" command is used and you put an item in the slot to try and skin it. When this happens no skins will appear at all, it is like the plugin was newly installed with no Skins.json file in the data folder. The only fix for this error right now is for an admin with server console access to unload and then load the Skins plugin again, only then the "/skin" command will start working again and available skins will appear. Until the next time the "/skin add" command is used to add a skin, then the plugin will break again.

We are also having this issue on my server. Only admins have the permission setup to add/remove the skins. Every time we make changes I have to use the oxide.reload Skins command in console to get the skins to show in the lootbox again

 

yes skins at leat starts on its own now but is as patrice said.

Hey Misticos, fix your plugin. This error has nothing to do with the cache - why does it keep turning off for all players when adding or removing a skin? That did not happen in the previous version. Regular players cannot reload the plugin, and when you look to see, the skin you added or removed did not get added. The purge command you referenced doesn't affect this issue. Please look into it thank you!

well, "stops working" and having an error is different. if it does not show the new skin, the command fixes it. if it throws the error, it is a different problem indeed

Appreciate you <3

The solution for this is in the reply I made 3 months ago here: https://umod.org/community/skins/37573-cant-add-skins-to-certain-items?page=1#post-5

I'm sure a lot of people would appreciate you adding those changes, but I'm fine with releasing a fixed fork of the plugin if that's easier.

So what happens is.. When a new (valid) skin# is added in game via the chat console, the plugin crashes.  You can still open the "skins" box however it won't display any additional skins for your item.  If you check the console, it will show you the error i'm posting below.
If you then do "o.reload Skins" then the plugin will reload fine, the new skin just added will be there, and the plugin will work just fine, until another new skin is added via the chat console.  I hope this helps to better explain the issue..
Thanks
