bleek Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 Can anyone tell me how to replace the original torso of a character with a torso I painted on? Its the same torso from the character just with a different design I made for it. Is it possible to do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

«¦gøt ƒørçë?¦» Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 Well did you renamed the .skin file ? Like if iyour skin name is knight rename your .skin file to model_default_knight and then put in each part _knight go in game and it should work .

bleek Posted June 19, 2002 Author Share Posted June 19, 2002 Put _knight where? In the torso.jpg? ..and everything else? Also when I do all that it is a folder...do I turn the folder into a pk3 file after that?...if so how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andee_dean Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 I think he means is go into your model_default.skin file and then under where the skin name is edit it. Like this. ----------------------------------------------------------- hips,models/players/jeditrainer/trainer_legs.tga hips_torso,models/players/jeditrainer/trainer_torso.tga torso,models/players/jeditrainer/trainer_torso.tga torso_l_shoulder,models/players/jeditrainer/trainer_torso.tga torso_r_shoulder,models/players/jeditrainer/trainer_torso.tga r_arm,models/players/jeditrainer/trainer_torso.tga ---------------------------------------------------------------- Only where it says "jeditrainer" you put in _knight(if your skinname is _knight) or whatever the name of the skin is. Hope that clears it up a bit. -Andee:fett: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Droidekas Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 Why don't you start by reading the damn skinning tutorial by raven? It's everywhere, find it and read it. If you don't understand then post questions. By what you posted, I might as well come there and fix it myself, it would be simpler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleek Posted June 19, 2002 Author Share Posted June 19, 2002 LOL ...I did....I get everything down up to step 3....I don't understand that rename the file you edit and put it back into something else and that should replace something blah blah blah ....I dunno.... I extracted the jedi model from assest0.pk3. When i rename the model thing and edit the .tga things do do i leave everyting in the reg file I extracted...if so then what do i do with it?....put it in the base part?

andee_dean Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 Dude, I think you are jumping WAY ahead of yourself. Try reading some of the stickys in this forum, they might help out a bit. -Andee:fett: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanodagiardino Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 You are lost. hehehe extract from assets0 than modify skin than make sure that your *.skin file points to the images you have edited with the right path and names (doesn't matter if it's tga or jpg) than you need to compact everything back into a separate pk3 file with the name of yout skin. use winzip and make sure you have the right folder hierarchy. wich is models/players/nameofyourskin highlight models, right click and add to zip, give it the name of your model. change extension of zip file to pk3 finish I'm sure my help is not flawless, but it should help you to figure out things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andee_dean Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 Nicely put Nano, you basicly just solved my problem too. But my peoblem is that when i edit my .skin file and put in the edited file name, its JPG..even though everyone on there says targa. And also when i do put it in and save the .skin doc then try to run modview. it wont show that peice of skin on the model unless its under targa. -Andee:fett: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleek Posted June 19, 2002 Author Share Posted June 19, 2002 K...I wanna get some help before I screw something up since I'm an idiot when it comes to computers. Ok, so far I extracted all of the jedi crap from the assest0 file. Then I found the model_default.skin and changed it to model_default_jediX.skin. Next I modified the torso and hand and saved them with _jediX.skin at the ends. Do I put the torso and the hand into the model_default_jediX.skin file? How do I put their path to point them to my file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andee_dean Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 Okay heres what you do, some some good detail. 1:Extract the skin files out of assets0. 2: go to the file and get your model_default.skin and rename it to "model_default_JediX.skin" 3: then edit the jpeg files and save them back under THE SAME NAME(overwrite it) 4: go into your "model_default_jediX.skin" use notepad or wordpad but i suggest notepad. Then edit where it says the model name. like if you wanted to edit the lando skin you would go into the .skin file and see something like this. ------------------------------------------------hips,models/players/jedi/legs.tga hips_torso,models/players/jedi/torso.tga torso,models/players/jedi/torso.tga torso_l_shoulder,models/players/jedi/torso.tga torso_r_shoulder,models/players/jedi/torso.tga r_arm,models/players/jedi/torso.tga r_hand,models/players/jedi/basic_hand.tga r_hand_wrist,models/players/jedi/torso.tga r_hand_cap_r_arm_off,models/players/stormtrooper/caps.tga r_arm_cap_r_hand_off,models/players/stormtrooper/caps.tga r_arm_cap_torso_off,models/players/stormtrooper/caps.tga -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------So then what you do is on every line where it says 'jedi' you replace it with "JediX", BUT dont EVER touch the ones that says "stormtrooper" 5: save the .skin file after done editing leave the folder you are in, and then rename the folder to "JediX" I hope I made some sence -Andee:fett: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bleek Posted June 20, 2002 Author Share Posted June 20, 2002 Sup. I dunno how to use that PakScape thing sadly . Instead I extracted the jediX file to a zip file and then renamed that to a pk3 file. It put the icon of my dood in the game but when I tried to use him he just looked like the normal skin. Can ya tell me if there is a way to fix that...or tell me how to use PakScape to change it into a pk3 that worx . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plasmacoolant Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 Bleek, It sounds like your .skin files are still pointing to the original images of the model you are editing and not to your new modified ones. Since you've made icons I assume you want your new skins for Multiplayer not as replacements for a Single Player character. In any case you may want to send your .pk3 to me and I'll tell you what you need to change - this should only take a couple of minutes. plasmacoolant@hotmail.com -Plas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleek Posted June 21, 2002 Author Share Posted June 21, 2002 Thx dood. Once you figure out the prob...can you tell me how to fix it in this forum. That skin is just to see how to work everything.
