Skinning issues...like everyone else. ;)

[Atreyu]

Hey guys.

 

Okay, this is my first time ever screwing with skinning for any PC game. I had a bit of fun with it. But, okay, I was looking through the tutorial. I have finished my skin and it said to take the .skin files and rename them accordingly to match your newly textured skins. That's great and straightforward; BUT, all of the path files are directed towards .tga image files. I unpaked and used the shadowtrooper model for my skin and in the modviewer, everything fits where I want it to. But all the files I altered were jpegs, not tga's.

 

I looked through the assets0 pak file again and found a couple of tga files, but not for the shadow trooper. If anyone has any ideas what I should do or if I should change the path names from .tga to .jpg or something let me know. I want to get this skin paked up and even submit it to jkii.net

 

Here's how my skin looks:

He's supposed to be Hunk from Resident Evil 2 (not sure if you all have heard of him. He's a hidden character).

 

I appreciate any help you can give me! thanks.

I figured it out. Apparently I didn't need the tga files anyway. I'll be posting the hunk.zip file on jkII.net in a minute. Thanks anyway for the help.

Great you figured it out... But maybe I should wright something here anyway... (If anyone has the same problem)

 

It says "..Yadayada/modelname/texture.TGA" in the skinfile , though it uses the .jpg files anyway in the game...

 

(Kind of weird but I guess it works anyway)
