SettingShadow Posted March 23, 2003 Share Posted March 23, 2003 Pack up all the files for your skin to a .pk3 with pakscape... do a search on google for Pakscape.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler Posted March 23, 2003 Share Posted March 23, 2003 Once you have everything ready, I'd suggest copying all the necessary files to a folder named "compile\models\players\<skin name>". Then open up WinZip (another program may work, but I've only tested WinZip) so you have a new archive and make sure it is not located in any of the new folders. Now go to Add, locate the "compile" folder, and hit Add with wildcards. Close the program, and find the file in Windows Explorer. Then rename the extension to .pk3, and put it in your "JKII:JO\GameData\base" folder. Load up the game and you should see it as a selectable multiplayer skin if everything was done right.

SettingShadow Posted March 23, 2003 Share Posted March 23, 2003 I used to use Winzip for it too, but then I tried pakscape and was stunned. It's sooo much easier, quicker, better than winzip for making .pk3's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Marrakesh Posted March 23, 2003 Share Posted March 23, 2003 I can vouch for pakscape... I once used WinZip, and it tried to create a whole new directory! I.e. the player has his game in Program Files/LucasArts/ etc I was C:\Games\Jedi Knigt II- Jedi Outcast\ It saved the full path and, needless to say, the pk3 did not work. Use pakscape! http://richdiesal.jedioutcastmaps.com/tutorials/pakscape_new.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler Posted March 23, 2003 Share Posted March 23, 2003 I've never had that happen... you must be doing something wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SettingShadow Posted March 23, 2003 Share Posted March 23, 2003 I think on some OS (at least XP) it reamins a .zip file even after you renamed it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Marrakesh Posted March 23, 2003 Share Posted March 23, 2003 Originally posted by Chandler I've never had that happen... you must be doing something wrong. Had "Save full path info" on. But don't need to worry about it with pakscape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler Posted March 23, 2003 Share Posted March 23, 2003 Yeah, I'm not exactly a big XP fan. I still have Windows 98 on here . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hekx Posted March 23, 2003 Share Posted March 23, 2003 You can also use ModView to view your skin, if you're still working on it. It's included with the JK2 Editing Tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
