Im hoping to do more to him but I really dont know what else to do. I have to do sounds and team colors still, and come up with a name a background.

Re: Contest WIP
 

Hmm that reminded me to add some sounds, ive got em recorded, but obviously things aint as easy as that :P So whats the best way to make them/program?

Re: Contest WIP
 

He's kinda cool, but you didn't really do much with the skin. It looks like the majority of the original skin is still intact. See if you can think of something else to add to it.

Also, is he a hero or a villain?

Re: Contest WIP
 

(Sry for double post, he asked while I was posting.)

I recommend Audacity. It's free, it can record from multiple sources (microphone, applications running on your computer, etc), and it can add cool effect to the sounds you record. In order to save anything in .mp3 format though, you need to download an install the LAME MP3 Encoder (LAME is the name, not a description ;)), but afterwards you are set to use it.

If you have any questions about it that the site's FAQ doesn't answer, ask me. :cool:

Re: Contest WIP
 

Yeah, actually pretty much all of it is intact. This is my first skin and Im slowly figuring things out. Im not so great when it comes to skinning. I'll probably end up starting over atleast one more time. For now its just kind of a recolor. I might even just forget the contest and work on it untill its changed enough so that it doesnt resemble the original skin.

Re: Contest WIP
 

Yea i checked the forum before posting, so i dloaded Audacity and the encoder already, and tried to record, using mono 44100Hz and in 16 bits, but it isnt workin so i still get default kyle taunts. Any one know wat im not doing? or if u could list some steps that would be great to. :)

Re: Contest WIP
 

Open the console and see what errors it gives you. This will usually tell you exactly what's wrong with your audio so that you can fix it.

Taunts and music are the ones things where the engine will give you real and useful information on what's wrong. Wish the rest of the game was that way... -_-

Re: Contest WIP
 

Nah i would of noticed a error, it doesnt do anything, at all lol. and i have put stuff in the right folders and checked the .cfg

Re: Contest WIP
 

If there are no errors then it's probably not detecting the files at all. Are they in the misc folder?

Re: Contest WIP
 

Indeed they are, all the folders are all labeled correctly.
