Create a base folder on your c: drive

 

c:base\

 

next add those sub-dirs

 

c:\base\models\players\"your renamed player"

 

Once that is done move your stuff in there. Next you need to edit the .skin files so they point to your newly renamed character...like this:

 

If your character was named kyle you would go from this...

 

head,models/players/kyle/head.jpg

 

to this:

 

head,models/players/"your renamed player"/head.jpg

 

Do that for evey texutre in every .skin files.

 

If you want to add sounds create/copy this dir:

 

base\sound\chars\"your renamed player"\misc

 

Put all the sounds in there, mp3 sampled a 44khz and they have to be named correctly.

 

Install winzip...if not installed already.

 

Once that's done, go to the models folder/right click and select "winzip" and add to zip file. This will create your basic .pk3 file.

 

Now if you want sounds, you will repeat the steps but instead of adding to a new zip file, select "add to recently used zip file" and select the zip you just created (most likely models.zip).

 

Rename to whatever you want and change the extension to .pk3, move that file to your JK2 gamedata\base folder.
