Darth Calculus Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Hi, all! Does anyone have Xavier2's Darth Maul with hood and robes (and possibly the Jango Fett armor)? That skin and model is the best-looking I've seen, but since PCgamemods is long gone, I can't find it anywhere... One more question: I've recently tried some basic re-skinning, but although I read a whole bunch of the tutorials and followed them closely, the results are disastrous – the skin is misapplied to the model with feet on hands and torsos on legs, etc. Am I missing something? Would someone be kind enough to do a few re-skins to my specifications? Thanks in advance.
Christos K Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 I think I can help on the reskinning question. First I would try flipping the texture files. (Usually .tga and .txi from WHAT I know) And if the problem still exists try posting some screen shots so that some of the more experienced members can help.
Fallen Guardian Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Are you sure you didn't apply your skin to the wrong model? You can't just use any model, you have to use the specific model it comes with. I made that mistake myself.
Darth Calculus Posted May 14, 2011 Author Posted May 14, 2011 Okay, here's the thing: I have tried flipping the textures every which way, but the result is basically the same – the body parts don't line up. I've also triple checked all the models and file names. All I do is take a texture, skin it, and then save it under the exact same name. I've recently downloaded Kazeite's Light/Dark Bastila skins and wanted to make them as my Sith Master Robe skins. Since most of the texture is transparent to go with Bastila's metal shader, I also filled in those areas with gold and colored the hands dark to fit any player. Here's the effect I'd like to see: http://knightsoftheoldrepublic.filefront.com/screenshots/File/80221/2 Here's what I get: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/560/95704506.png/ Disturbing isn't it? (Sorry, couldn't find a better way to upload it and I'm not too sure how to stick the picture into the message since this is only my second post ) The biggest problem is that this happens with any texture. Whatever I try to re-skin, everything is then misapplied back to the model. However, any mod I download and any skin that comes with them works fine. ??? I guess I do need some professional help.
Confederal_Republic Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Gmax was being an ass, so I just opened up a texture, placed numbers on every section of the armor, spawned and equipped it with that texture in the game, made dozens of screenshots from all possible angles, and now I have a guide to the layout. Future tip, just in case you need it. But you've probably got something weird going on there. I just tried, and I haven't got the same issues.
Darth Calculus Posted May 14, 2011 Author Posted May 14, 2011 Thanks for the tip. I'll keep it in mind for future work. Can I send you a .psd file so you can try it out on yours and see if there are any issues? Maybe it's a problem with the way my software exports to .tga? In fact, anyone willing is welcome to try it. You can find the file here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YLKR4NHB If it ends up working fine when you save it as a .tga, I would appreciate it if you would send it back to me in that form.
Kyr'am Galaar Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 I'm not sure if you still need this, but I saved it as a tga and it worked fine for me. So... Here you go. If you can't unzip 7z files, let me know.
Darth Calculus Posted June 23, 2011 Author Posted June 23, 2011 Thanks. The link is bad though. I keep getting the "server not responding" issue. Can you re-upload?
