So ... you did use the Starter Tool Modding -> Create Custom Skin and saved the new Skin and only said no to the default question ?
You then did manualy edited the .skin file to match the path to the produced Skin or did you use Modding -> Load Skin ?
i tried those ways .. without success. Using Anna´s male Shepard.
was it the first upload of a skin to that particular Server when it worked ?

well the thing is once you say yes to set as default, you have to completely wipe the game off the harddrive and start fresh to fix the problem, also make sure the admin of the server gets rid of the folder you made with your faulty skin.
and I used modding load skin then wrote the path where i saved the .smskin
as far as a different server it's always been mine, err on mine. before one of the updates, he was fine, but then after an update we had to redo the skin path or maybe I redone the server, either way he had to remake the skin file and said yes to set as default, and noticed the error. We went through step by step on what we each did to make our skin and the only thing different was he said yes to set as default and i did not.
note: when removing you may want to check various places, ie: documents settings, appdata, etc
What ever magic you did.. its not working for me.
Clean install, no appdata, manually put in the skin path
and the skin worked before, also it is shown for me in the game but not for others. Yes .. that is me .. twice on the same server should be the same skins.
can you upload a log.txt.o from a successful skin upload start of the game ?

It's not magic, maybe you missed something? Did you have the admin (if the admin isnt you) of the server delete the info about your character that was uploaded to the server?? ie: character folder with skin files etc in it, because it does make that and all the .png's when those errors come up. And clean install....totally wiped from the system? cause some things go to low local or local folder as well. but either way could you let me know the steps you took to setup your skin and game ?
and yes can upload my logs for you....I will edit this when I am done work and supply the info.
totaly admin ... did run the server local for the test and it was the dedicated server of the same fresh install .. then conencted with two clients to that server to look at each other .
the skin is a working skin i did down load from the content page. (Dead Frank) and it loads fine for the client as always only gets rejected by the server.
to my knowledge SM saves only in its install directory and appdata/roaming/.starmade ... but i have already asked if that is correct. waiting for an answer there.

I think i found something interesting:
As you may already now: When you already had your .smskin on the server you won't have a problem with up- and downloading the skin for that player.
The problem is how the game uploads a skin - at least that's how it looks like when i take a look at whats going on in the server-files...
I logged on a local sever with two accounts (my main and SkinTester0001)
See that?
After i manually placed my .smskin inside server-skins the "Tried to Upload Corrupted Skin File" message never showed up again. But after logging in with SkinTester0001 (who had another skin selected - yes they were done the same way so there wasn't a technically difference) the error poped up saying that SkinTester tried to do so.
Looking at the log:

StarMade seems to extract your skin from the selected .smskin file and upload it to the server as a folder.
Instead of converting the uploaded files back to .smskin the server now keeps the folder and looks for a PLAYERNAME.smskin
Then it only finds the PLAYERNAME folder and tries to send the client the 'skin' as .smskin which doesn't work as it is a folder => Corrupted File.
The game uploads the skin inside a folder with the textures unpacked rather than inside a .smskin that includes the packed files.
Juding by that i quess that the games source misses a re-compiling method - or it doesn't call that method - after the server downloaded the textures ('Extracting file:').

awesome, thank you for that, I guess I was a bit off then on my assumption/reasoning on what it was, lol, but really the only thing that was different was the whole set as default question when a friend and I were going over it. haha, figures that had to just happen right when this problem cropped up.
It is fixed in the latest Hotfix build of the game ... i did nothing ... maybe you did with that report that i did copy to the bug report about this problem. So thanks for that
