Bokken Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I assume that you have your ModTools installed. How experienced are you with them? Have you, for example, created a custom side? Most importantly, have you read "Getting Started.doc" in the documentation folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Equally Obi1 Posted April 15, 2011 Author Share Posted April 15, 2011 nope and nope ,im an amuture.lol your gonna laugth at this ,whats a side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bokken Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Some people might read side as "Team." CIS, Republic, Rebels, and Empire are all sides. The units in them are what comprise the sides. You can make custom sides out of custom units (with custom skins). I recommend that you read Getting Started.doc. If you have any trouble, you can either ask here or at GameToast. I can usually help out with simple issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Equally Obi1 Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 i know haw to skin now but how do you change stuff like guns and micro binoculars and how do u put the skin on a 3d template? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bokken Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Again, I have to emphasize that you read that Getting Started document. It explains all of the basics. Changing guns is done in the Object Definition Files, or ODF's. If you only change the appearance of the gun, such as the model used, it won't affect online compatibility. However, if you change values that would affect other people, like the damage, it would break online compatibility. You can see your skin the way it would look on the 3D model by using The SWBF MSH Viewer. MSH files are just the model used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bokken Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 You can't mod without the ModTools. If you intend to actually change the skins, you have to use them. You can actually install the tools onto a flash drive if you have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Equally Obi1 Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 :confused:as i have said in my other threads zero editor doesnt work will i need it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bokken Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Nah. ZeroEditor is only used for making the maps themselves. You're just dealing with the sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Equally Obi1 Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 i've got another problem only 1gb download left to the end of the month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bokken Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I don't think that the ModTools installation file would put you over that, but it'd take up a good half of it. That's really up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
