skin install

Well, of course that means you have changed the skin, it is certainly better then the skin not changing at all, and staying the same as it was shipped with the game.

Also if the skin has turned black this means that:

A) The .tga file of the model your changing has been deleted or has been saved as the wrong .tga file type or...

B) You have saved your skin as a different file type to .tga or it has been corupted.

Of course if you changed the skin of the model so it was completely black then what can you expect?

[Squirrel7Hunter]

I posted a tutorial ,which works, on how to edit skins in this thread,

for your 2nd question, do u mean u want certain skins in all your maps?

i mean, how do i change the textures??? in your toturial you wrote: edit the textures.... and i just wanna know, how do i do that??? i take the jpg skins and convert them to tga and switch them with the original??? or how??

[Squirrel7Hunter]

I still dont get what your saying.... the tutorial will let u change any skin for any unit u want, u pick which units u want to reskin and do it.

let me explain it on a way you understand(hopefully) i have this file, rep_inf_ep3jettroper.tga, then i take this skin i want instead of the old one, i rename the first one, i take this new one called rep_inf_ep3jettrooper, then i put it on the firsts place, i put that dc: thing in the LUA, then i munge, only the rep and common is marked, then when its done i launch it, but the troopers i putted skins instead of is just completely no skinned, its completely white-grey

I have never had that problem, but I'm pretty sure when that happens it means that the rep_inf_ep3jettrooper.odf is calling for a texture that is now renamed, if u renamed the tga. , you have to also rename the tga. the odf. calls for. Sorry if its hard to understand

[cmdata]

but i only have to change the .tgas in the msh folder right??? or is it in the .odf too??

Ok, if it turns up all black or all of another colour then just read my above post about why this maybe happening, just to recap the file is probably missing, renamed or a different file type if you are copying it, just copy the rep_inf_ep3jettrooper.tga or whatever, rename it to rep_inf_ep3trooper.tga and paste it back in the msh folder of your side, that is just a simple test to see if the skins works, ingame your standard republic infantry will look like jettroopers.

i did all what you guys said, but i cant get it working, my troopers that i skinned, show up as completely white, it always do, i cant repair it, i followed your toturials to the end and it still dont work this drive me crazy
