skin not showing up in game

[CMDR Useless]

I've recently made a custom skin (using the skin generator as a starting point and then modifying it from there with Gimp.

the files all loom absolutely fine and when I put them into the game it produced no errors and gave me a skin file, I set thag and got no errors but when I join the game I'm still captain spacey mcboringpants.

any ideas on what I've cocked up?

go into options and select the skin path option and then click on the smskin file of the skin you want to use.
