Amf12345 Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I'm new to skinning. I have created many new items, but I have never really tried skinning before today. How do I figure out what textures go with certain robes and armors. Right now, I'm just trying to retexture Thons Robe, but I don't know what file to extract. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drazin Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 I'm not positive which texture is Thon's robe, but they would be located in ERFs > Texture Packs > swpc_tex_tpa.erf > P Then the file would likely start with pfbn (for females) or like pmbl06(males). What I did when I first started and still do quite often, is click on it, check the texture in the image viewer to see if it looked like the robe I was after, if it looked close, I would extract it, and color a big white line across the texture and save it to my override and go ingame to see if that was the right one. Now though I am becoming more familiar with whats what and can generally find something I need based off the prefix letters. I wish I could tell you exactly what the filename is, but that'd just be too easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChAiNz.2da Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 a little tip that Fred shared with us a few weeks ago... double click on a .tpc texture to pop-up the preview window. now, click back on KT's main window and use your up & down arrow keys. You can scroll the skins with a real-time preview makes searching for that texture alot easier than double-clicking each and every one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Kenobi Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Yep, I agree with ChAiNz on how to scroll through them. I always open an old save game and give myself most all of the robes with KSE and then look through the inventory for the robe name and the "desc" name like : a_robe_30 Nomi Robe or something like that. Then you can do what ChAiNz said and flip through till you find the one your looking for. If you give the original to yourself in a game you can see what its colors and stuff is to better pick it out of the line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amf12345 Posted March 25, 2005 Author Share Posted March 25, 2005 Well, either I'm incredibly stupid, or its not in the 'p' section, because I can't find it. Actually, I was unable to find a lot of the better robes such as the dark jedi master robe and Nomi's and the like. A little more help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little more help? all the master robes use the female texture, no matter what gender your PC is. Try looking in the PFB files... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amf12345 Posted March 25, 2005 Author Share Posted March 25, 2005 Just to experiment, I tried making the robe darker and then dropped it in the Override folder, but the game crashed. Is there something I need to do first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amf12345 Posted March 25, 2005 Author Share Posted March 25, 2005 Nevermind. I figured it out. I had to put the .txi file in the override as well. Here is what I ended up with: http://img117.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img117&image=toomuch7ng.jpg This is my first skin. Any suggestions? Are the red boots too much? Thanks again.

Amf12345 Posted March 25, 2005 Author Share Posted March 25, 2005 Here is the final product. I made his head darker because the light grey just made him look old. I also retextured the sabers. http://img217.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img217&image=red17ba.jpg http://img217.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img217&image=red23pu.jpg http://img217.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img217&image=red33hy.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also retextured the sabers. I noticed you changed the boot colors too. After seeing them back to a dark color, I'd have to say I like the grey / black . Also, that's a pretty nice looking saber skin ya got there... matches the robe... and we all know, even Jedi / Sith gots' ta have some style Looking good!
