Getting A Reskin In-To Game Problems
 

I dunno if I put this in the right thread section, but here I go:

I've created a reskin, edited all the images with my Image Editor made sure that the .skin file was directing to those files, zipped 'em up in a .pk3 file, but yet It won't go in-game. Is there something else I should be looking for? Please respond. :deal:

I'm not sure... I'm having the same problem. I've got the files pointed in the right directions, but it doesn't seem to show.

Make sure you added the proper icons "icon_default.jpg" also, it will work on multiplayer only.

For some reason it still doesn't work http://forums.filefront.com/images/s...28frown%29.gif

I just have another question:

Is there a path for the icon in the .skin file? Maybe that's my problem. http://forums.filefront.com/images/s.../confusedx.gif

No. You just need to have "icon_default.jpg" in the skin's folder. Make sure it's a square, though (128x128, 256x256, etc). That sounds like it's your problem, however if it's not one of us can take a look at your PK3 to see what's up.

Check your pk3 file to see if you've got all of the directoriers correct

Thanks to everyone's help, I finally got the skin in game. :D Thanks everyone!

Now I gotta do a read-me and zip that up in .zip. DUN DUN DUN ;)

Now, another question. Which FREE programs would you suggest I should use to package the files into a .pk3? Mainly Macintosh programs, but if I have to throw them together on my PC first, then so be it.

Re: Getting A Reskin In-To Game Problems
 

You have a Mac? I can't say from experience, but I think PakRat is supposed to be the Mac equivalent of PakScape. As I said, I can't vouch for it because I don't have a Mac so I've never used it.

As always, thanks again Inyri. I'll try that out and see what I get.
