Amidala from Chop Shop Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 PakScape You have to "Unhide File Extensions" in Windows 98\ME\XP File\Folder options, so you can change the file extension directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadenkorr Posted April 17, 2004 Author Share Posted April 17, 2004 ok thanks that helped. You see what i was trying to do was make a jawa with gray robes and red eyes, i have these pictures of that but when i put it into assets file my jawa was just a floating lightsaber. Its probable that im just a idiot and i have to do something else besides changing the picture in teh assets file but once again i dont know what to do.

Amidala from Chop Shop Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 NEVER ALTER YOU ASSETS FILES! If you do you won't be able to join "pure" servers or you might even corrupt the file(s) so your game won't work. If you want to change something in the assets files you override your assets files by making a "mod" (.pk3 file). Put what you want to change in the mod's .pk3 file with a name that starts with a letter B through Z and the game will load it after the assets files (it loads .pk3 files alphabetically), overriding what it loaded from the assets?.pk3 files. The .pk3 file must store the new files with the same directory structure as the assets files. So if the file you want to change is jawa_head.jpg, and in the assets?.pk3 file it is in the \models\players\jawa directory, the mod .pk3 file has to have the new jawa_head.jpg file in the \models\players\jawa directory inside the mod .pk3 file. The easiest way to do this is to search http://www.jk2files.com , http://www.pcgamemods.com , or http://www.lucasfiles.com for a jawa skin mod and download it. Change the name of the .pk3 file to whatever you want (name starting with B-Z), then replace or insert your new files into that mod. The mod should already have the correct internal directory structure, which you must maintain. Then put your new .pk3 in your base folder and it will override the standard files. Simply remove the mod .pk3 file from the base folder to return to normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
