My first skin
 

Hi all
This is my first attempt to skin for mohaa and this is what i came up with.

[url=http://img239.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img239&image=germanworker5oy.jpg:b5a1b][img]http://img239.exs.cx/img239/7700/germanworker5oy.th.jpg[/img][/url:b5a1b]

I have tried to put it into mohaa but i failed. Even though i came across lots of tutorials i could'nt understand any of them.

If anyone wants to help me put some skins in MOHAA, that would be great.

Enjoy the skin Mr.crow

Sorry about that. the image should be up now

thats pretty good.. that would look good on my zombie player model

Uuuum, player skinning is fairly easy. When I get out of school I'll try and catch you on aim to explain it to you.

haha thats cool rock:

create (copy and paste) these files in notepad:

save as "YOUSKINNAME.shader"


open pakscape. create the following directories:

models
scripts
textures

in models create another folder named player. put both .tik files in there (including ''YOURSKINNAME_fps.tik")

in scripts put ''YOURSKINNAME.shader"

in textures put all your .tga graphic files.

save as zzzzzYOURSKINNAME.pk3 (change file type in pulldown menu)

place in mohaa/main.

if you want skin to be axis; change first .tik file to read "axis_YOURSKINNAME.tik"

this is a very basic skin set up. you'll learn to add more as needed. files used are from german_worker: german_worker.tik, german_worker_fps.tik (pak0.pk3/models/player); german_worker.shader (pak0.pk3/scripts)

if anyone sees any mistakes in the above, post'em before he gets pissed.

Yep done everything like you said, i checked everything and it was all ok.
once i saved everything and all that i started mohaa and when i choose my skin it came up all grey. Maybe i did something wrong but i cant seem to know what.

Anyway thanks alot for your help lads.

if you're getting a model but the skin is all gray, start checking your .shader file first and then cross reference it to your .tik files. if it's only one area, check your .shader first, image files next and then cross compare to your .tik files.

your problem is in your scripting somewhere. i copied your textures, cut them out and created the skin with no problems. i'm sending you the complete .pk3 file i made so you can open it up and see where the problem was.

pm me your addy. and for a first skin...........he looks fine. work with the german_worker skin...easiest most adaptable skin out there to get started with (then check out my official " i hate hippies" skin i made today in the pimpin' thread.

it looks like he has jelly on his face biggrin:

i totaly agree he does'nt realy look scary enough or maybe it's just too many cuts and blood on the face. I need to practice a bit more. lol phil nice skin you made. rock:

that's the only way crow. practice.

Try changing contrast and such. Or adding overlays to just the bloody part to make it darker. It has potential, just darken the blood and its good.

I went away with yours and phils advice and i tried again.

hmmmmmmm ..........i don't think anyone's ever attempted to do a zombie/mall map mod like in dawn of the dead LOL ( sorry GS, to easy)

as for a skin..........hell, do a zombie biker.

LOL seriously i think it would'nt a bad idea at all. Think of it... Godsmack's zombie models, your maps, my skins (which i will improve on) we might be able to make something pretty funny.

sure if you want to use my mall map or GS's mall map, his zomb skins, my zomb skins and/or your zomb skins.

i'm just in it for the sound of shattering glass.

oh you would want to include dark angel's dual macs. they rule in the mall map with all that glass.

I need to try those dual macs in the mall map sometime with plenty of zombies to kill and glass to break hellfire:

oh and here is that zombie biker you asked for biggrin:

that some prety cool stuff. Just keep experimenting with the files untill you get it right.

Any one want to help me with a flood mod? Im working on the models, if some one could do some flood textures that would be great.
