Spawning created skins

[Coligeon]

Ok, this is a problem that has puzzled me for a little while. Since I don't like the bots too well, I usually spawn people in the game. My question is how do I spawn a skin that I downloaded. Like I downloaded an Obi Wan skin and how would I go about making it being able to spawn it in single player games? I know how to start the process, but only a little ways. Anyway, I unzipped assetso and found the file npcs.cfg. Now what do I type in for the game to recognize the skin? Do I just copy and psate say Luke's information? How does it know where to find the skin in the game? Thanks for the help, appreciated.

if the skin doesnt include any bot ai, or point to the ai already made for one of the bots... you cant. many of the skins i have downloaded state in the readme that you cannot use them as bots, as they have no ai otherwise they should be in the add bot menu...

Well the skin I downloaded has bot support and teamplay it says. Where do I go from there? Thanks.

hmm, if its not in the pull down menu, then i suppose you could try the console command, unfortuanly, i dont know it sry...

I've hard a few people say they have been able to get custom skins as npc in single player. You put something in the npcs.cfg for it to recognize the skin. I just don't know enough about it. I've tried saying npc spawn ep1_obi-wan but it doesn't recognize the file. Help please, I'm gettin' tired of the same npc heh, thanks.

I know you have to be able to do this. Thoughts are appreciated.
