How do you make the skins work in the games?
I have the MOHAA battlechest installed (all 3 games)
I downloaded a skin and put it into the /maint folder
in multiplayer games (spearhead online) when i chose that skin in the options it won't show up in the game (it just shows up as a default player).

i'm probably doing something wrong, just don't know what.

help would be appreciated.

the server may have CI running and allow only stock skins.

you could make that skin replace a skin you dont like then it will show up on any server

[apex430]

you mean rename it?
i don't see the other skins in the maint or mainta directories....

that's where i got lost...

Use pakscape, open up pak(dont remember which one the skins are in).pk3 and replace the skin you want with the new one.

lol, pkscape is great, and old, but gets the job done, not to mention, very very simple. rolleyes:

i always use pakscape. though i didn't realize it was that old, then again i've only been modding for the last 1.5 years.

.tik, fps_.tik & scripts are in pk0.3

.tga (textures) are in pk2.3

[apex430]

OK so i used pakscape / wally to open the pak0.pk3 file.
which directory to put the new skin into?
how to do it? do i have to break up the skin pak.pk3 file also and merge it with the pak0.pk3 directory?
will be skin be seen on the server during internet games?

ok u made the skin and saved as tga files, made the tiks, and made the shader files correct? create a new document in pakscape. create 3 folders in it named textures models and scripts. drag the shader file into scripts. now in models create a folder called player. drag the tik files into the player folder. now in textures, create the folders in which the path is in the shader. lets say u used the pilot and kept the path. justmake a folder in textures named models. then in models a folder named human, and in human a folder called usmaps, and finally in usmaps a folder named pilot and drag the tga files in there. heres a picture of the paths...

the textures one can be a hassle sometimes... so in ur shader file, just make the path textures/(nameoffile).tga. then just put the tga files into ur textures folder. hope i helped...
