How to make a Replacement skin for Medal of Honour: Allied Assault



This tutorial is designed for people like me, who are too lazy to make a custom skin

of their own, but love to modify MoHAA.

Materials needed:

1. Pakscape(if you have never heard of this program, I strongly
recommend that you stop reading this before you hurt yourself)
(type "pakscape" in google, your guaranteed to find a free downloadable version)

2. A choice custom skin, either of your own devising(see DJHeadUp's tutorial if you don't know how),
or one you downloaded and really like, it really doesn't matter.

3. Medal of Honour: Allied Assault

Okay, here it is, the moment you've all been waiting for, it's the....
(drumroll please)

STEP BY STEP DIRECTIONS

1. In your own manner, obtain a custom skin you like.

2. Run pakscape, and open your custom skin.

3. Click and drag the "models", "scripts", and "textures" folders to your desktop.

4. Using pakscape, go into the MOHAA/main folder, and open pak0.pk3

5. In pak0.pk3, go into the "models" folder, and from there go to "player"

6. In this folder is every multiplayer stock skin tiki, or .tik, file. Select the .tik of the skin you wish to replace
(team_Name.tik). Don't worry about the team_Name.tik_fps file, it doesn't matter.

7. Right click on the tiki file, and go down to rename(we won't really be renaming it, but it has to match the name exactly
to work).
8. Highlight the full name, and hit ctrl-c to copy the name.

9. Open the "models" folder that you extracted from the original .pk3 from the skin that you wish to put over the stock skin.

10. Find the tiki file of the skin team_Name.tik, right click, hit rename, and paste the name from the stock skin on it.

11. In pakscape, go to "file"--"new" and drag the three folders from the desktop into the file window of pakscape.

12. Go to "save as", name the file zzz_stock_skin_name_replacer (the z's are so the game reads this file first)
and set file type to Quake 3 Pak (*.pk3). Use the browser to put it into the MOHAA/main folder

13. If the .pk3 of the skin you used to replace the stock skin is in the MOHAA/main folder, move or delete it from the MOHAA/main folder.

14. Go in-game, and check your skin out in multplayer options. If you did everything right, the skin you chose should appear when
you select the name of the skin you replaced.
