Note: You need to know how to mod previous to this tutorial

 

1. Open up your assets0.pk3 file and extract -> strings\english\MENUS.str

Now open the assets1.pk3and extract -> models\players\jedi_hm\playerchoice.txt

 

2. Now extract the character you wish to use (for example I will use Kyle)

-->models\players\Kyle

3. Open up the MENUS.str under notepad

and add the character info at the top of the list like so

 

VERSION "1"

CONFIG "W:\bin\stringed.cfg"

FILENOTES ""

 

REFERENCE JEDI_KYLE -------------------this just tells the menu where to look

NOTES "For character menu"

LANG_ENGLISH "Kyle Katarn"

 

REFERENCE JEDI_HF

NOTES "For character menu"

LANG_ENGLISH "Human Female"

 

 

5. Move the playerschoice.txt from models\players\jedi_hm to the kyle folder

 

 

6. Now rename the folder models\players\kyle to models\players\jedi_kyle

 

7. Now open the playerschoice.txt -------------this text is for chossing colors for torsos

and delete everything but:

 

//colorshadername {action block}

 

*white

{

setcvar ui_char_color_red 255

setcvar ui_char_color_green 255

setcvar ui_char_color_blue 255

}

 

 

8. Now rename open the model_default.skin file and rename the path:

EX. " head_face,models/players/jedi_kyle/kyle_face.tga "

and so on

 

9. now you need to rename the model_default.skin to head_a1.skin

 

10. take the head_a1.skin and copy it to 2 more skin files named:

lower_a1.skin and torso_a1.skin

 

11. Finally, create 3 icons named icon_head_a1.jpg

icon_torso_a1.jpg

icon_lower_a1.jpg

 

 

12. pk3 it and your all set.

 

 

 

 

Note: for example, if you want to have kyle to have more than one changable skin,

just have lower_b1.skin; lower_c1.skin etc. to add the path of the other skins,

and don't forget to add a icon for every skin file you make!!!!
