I'm developing a tumor b/c of skins....
 

Ok, I followed the tutorial at the top by guarnere (to the f*cking decimal point) and my skin still doesnt work. These are the following stats. on my skin:
1) I used the airborne skin and edited only the upper torso.
2) I named the skins according to my preference, but the skin doesn't appear. I only see grey matter where the upper torso, lower torso, and the gear are supposed to be.
3) I am skinning with a Mac, and have no access to pakscape. I am using zip it, which I have been told will perform the same function of pakscape.
4) I have renamed the skins to the orginal airborne name in an attempt to salvage my work, but I still get the same looks (all grey).

Any help will still be appreciated.

Its difficult to exactly say but usually when that happens its often some error in the shader or .tik. Sure you havent erased a bracket or something by accident ? You have probably already done this but just go over them with a fine tooth comb and check for any possible errors.

...Nearly forgot...also, make sure you got all the correct file paths in the shader.

Also make sure u made the 3 folders into pk3 not any folder u hd em in like my skin etc
