Hey guys, I recently created a basic skin(used the Tankcommander model). I just replaced the face and fixed the shader and tiki file so that it pointed to all the correct files. This skin turned out fine(worked in gameplay), but i still wanted to change the color of the coat and hat. The program I am using to edit the textures is Photoshop CS(v.8). What I have been doing is just opening the coat and hat file and then going to Edit->Fill. When that window came up I selected the color I needed in the Contents section under Color. Then under the Blending section I selected Overlay and 100% opacity and pressed ok. I repeated that step about 2 more times to get it to a tanish color, saved the 2 files as tga files and renamed them from the tc_coat and tc_hat, fixed the tiki and the shaders file and made a pk3 file, and put it in the mainta folder. However, when I went the Multiplayer options and select my new axis skin, only the new face showed up....What am I doing wrong. I have looked at many skinning tuts. and have the correct locations of the files and renamed them. Please help. Thanks.
oOo: if you have kept the names the same try turning texture compression off although i dont think this matters in player skinning try it any way.
also if it is the same name and its the wrong size it will use the original.
I keep texture compression off anyways because I have moded gun skins. Right now i have a working model of the tc model with a Mushroomhead face. here is a screenie of it.

When i edited the coat and hat but filling it will a color and saved it i renamed it mushroomheadcoat.tga and mushroomheadhat.tga.
Here is my shader and tiki file so if any find a mistake tell me.
Shader:
Ok guys after hours apon hours of testing and editing the shader and tiki files, i did the simple thing of renaming the textures from mushroomhead_coat.tga(this was the name of the coat texture in v1) to mh_coat_v2.tga. IT WORKED...it was that simple too lol i feel like a dumbass now. Anyways, thanks for the help sephy2005.
I would like to submit these skins, but I cant figure out where to submit them. On the main page alliedassault.com, I sent my stuff to the "Submit" link. After a day or two i got a return e-mail saying it didnt go through. Then I looked in the forums and tryed to post under the MMS submission and approval but it said only moderators could. Where do i sent my stuff???
Thanks.
