When it comes to mapping, read the tutorial above.. ^

wich one? ed:

look at the top of this forum, you'll see 2 tutorials, one for player skinning and one for mapping

mapping is harder to learn than player skinning

use the tutorials to get a basic idea of how to skin, and post any questions you may have here, ppl will help you if you need it

My only advice is one thing at a time. Don't try and learn it all right away. i would start skinning first before you map so you can learn howto use packscape.

Aright! good suggestion Cobra! ive tried ur maps i think they are good man! but a question, do i need some special program to skin? and were can i learn to skin? thnx!

You need Packscape which can be found in the Mappers Thread above in the sticky and an image enditing program thatcan create images with the etention .tga and .jpg.

You should get packscape then go get some skins and open them with it and look at how they did it. Most of the basic skins are reskins of the original mp ones but some have a file called a .tik which references models and player action animations. Take your time.

aright! hellfire: can i use paint? the orginal from when i got this computer?
or wich program do u suggest? any freei can get? thnx!

hey! i downloaded packscape and opened a skin i got, i was alot of folders with parts of the skin, like the head.tga or something like that

aright! so, is there like a guide on how to start skinning?

there use to be a sticky for making your 1st skin but it's gone now. Anyone know what happened to it?

i was the one who wrote it...im wondering the same thing oOo:

Maybe BS accidently removed it, like he did with some of the stickies in the OT forum..

yeah but guarnere, cant u try and teach me then? or is there like a manual on how to do it? thnx! calmdown:

well, i havnt skinned in forever...and dont really feel like writing another tut...and i dont feel like teaching anyone either...because its been long played out

ohh aright! thats a pitty annoy: well...i hope someone can teach me! thnx anyway!
