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.

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:
