TriggerGod Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I have been trying to skin the K1 Clone Trooper mod (with permission). I have Gimp and Kotor Tool. I need to know how open the files to edit them. Please help. P.S. I have never modded before, this is my first attemt. Since you already have GIMP and the texture files, go into the .zip archive (or the folder you extracted the files to, either one) with GIMP, and find the .tga file. GIMP should be able to open that file up easily. After that, edit away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danshowe Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 Okay I have the .tga open I see one side of the chest armor and one side of the back but cant figure out what the rest of it is, can some one show me where the sholder and knee pads are?

Demongo Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Okay I have the .tga open I see one side of the chest armor and one side of the back but cant figure out what the rest of it is, can some one show me where the sholder and knee pads are? You should find the texture's .mdl file , import it to gmax and apply the texture. I don't know how much do you know about gmax but reply if you don't understand something and I'll try to help.

danshowe Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 I don't have gmax but will look for it, as I said I need help figuring out what is what in the .tga file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danshowe Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 Ok, got gmax, but can't figure out how to do anything with it. Any one able to help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eefluxx Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Now that you have gmax you should probably also get NWMax http://nwmax.dladventures.com/ as well as MDLops http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1402 this will help you get the model you want to skin into gmax as for what Darth Dac is suggesting, I have never tried this so you might want to PM him or wait until he comes back online for him to help you Eefluxx Edit: With MDLops you might also want to consider 0.5 version instead of the 0.6 version as 0.6 has some issues with some models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunkside Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 And if you dont want to start importing the model into gmax and all that, just use trial and error technique. You know, paint an area with a distinctive color, go in game and check the location of the part you just painted. thats what i use for my reskinning cause im too lazy to import:xp: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demongo Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I could write a tutorial about it, but since you just donwloaded gmax, It would be wise to use Drunkside's suggestion. Anyway if you want to know how to do it in gmax just PM me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthParametric Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Once you've figured out how to get your model into GMax, you may want to use this technique to get yourself a copy of the UV map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quanon Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Once you've figured out how to get your model into GMax, you may want to use this technique to get yourself a copy of the UV map. Or if you want a bit quicker way of doing things, you could PM Adinos for his model viewer: CLICK ME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunkside Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 You changed the name of the tga? If you did you will need to make a new uti file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danshowe Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 Ok renamed it to old file name now I see it. Anybody want to make a new blaster? I found blueprints online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danshowe Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 Ok How do I make this a seperate armour, As it is it is just a reskin of the standard armour? I have finished Waxer's armour and helmet, will finish Boil's helmet tonight. Because Waxer's and Boil's armour is the same I will need to make a file for each of them. After that I will need to know how to make Commander Cody's visor, antena, and spotlight on the helmet and add a antena to the armour. Like I said this is my first mod, if anyone wants some screenshots let me know how to take them and I will upload some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunkside Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 You wil need to make a new uti. Download the achilles´ handy tutorials from the tutorial section of the holowan, there is a very detailed tut on making new weapons/armor/items in common.
