like the title says is it working like it should? or am i doing somthing wrong.
i apply it unto myself andwalk it breaks and getattacked (animals/Npcs) I go prone about 50 meters out and still it breaks when i try to crawl past them/it
so is there some kind of minimum distance i must keep? and does the Quality of the matieral i use count as well?

Resource quality only determines how many uses your camo packs get. Your skill determines the effectiveness.
Maskscent breaks pretty easily since the CU for me. The problem is that it aggroes creatures that would otherwise ignore me due to the CL difference. Presumably you are seeing the same problems with Conceal. (I gave Conceal up long ago because it did a similar thing with NPCs -- aggroed aggressives with positive faction while those with negative faction ignored it completely.)

Well I don't think quality is an issue. I used garbage resources today making Tatooine Camo. I applied it and walk all around bestine and didn't get attacked by the Troopers.
Just to make sure I stood right in front of 2 at the starport and waited till it wore off. I was attacked instantly.
Sometimes it will hold well, sometimes it won't. I have gone all over Dathomir and it never broke. But on the same note, I have used it and it broke the second after I put it on.
It always has been a bit buggy.
On the lighter side I think they might be having an issue with camo, since kreetles don't aggro anymore.

Camo mostly works as advertised everywhere but Kashyyyk. It's indispensible if you're a Combatant or Special Forces, since it lets you walk past enemy faction NPCs unharassed. There are a few bugs, such as it not working across indoor/outdoor or floor/ceiling boundaries.
The reason Camo seems not to work when you first try it, and one of its biggest problems, is that you go from +100 Maskscent at master Scout to +40 Camoflauge at Wayfaring I, so your skill is effectively 60% lower than it was with /maskscent.
That's of course ridiculous since it means your advanced Ranger skills have made you less competent at hiding from creatures. Probably a reasonable fix would be to make any Camoflauge failure against an animal have to then fail against your Maskscent skill as well.
