instead they show the stupid original prisoner icons why?i've replaced the old ones but still no luck,can some1 tell me whats gone wrong.

The icons for your player models must match the naming convention for your *.skin file. Example:

 

model_default.skin >> icon_default.jpg

model_blue.skin >> icon_blue.jpg

model_red.skin >> icon_red.jpg

 

You can also expand on this with your reskins. Say you create a *.skin file for Jan's jedi look (see the npcs.cfg for "JediF") and you call it:

 

model_jedif.skin

 

In order for an icon to appear in MP, you'll need to copy Jan's icon and name it

 

icon_jedif.jpg

 

Alternately, to make it selectable from the setup menu by naming the *.skin file and the icon file:

 

model_default_jedif.skin

icon_default_jedif.skin

 

Either way the two filenames must match.

 

Some more pointers... the icon files are very restrictive about the format of your *.jpg. The icons must be exactly 256x256 pixels, and use standard/baseline compression only.

 

If you do your image editing in MS Paintbrush you're fine, but if you use Photoshop you'll need to pay attention to the compression when you save.

 

Hope that helps you out.
