You don't need anything else.

Use Photoshop to open the .tga files

Use Notepad to open the .tik and .shader files

Lastly, REMEMBER TO RENAME!!! You don't want a mod you're toying with to screw up a skin in-game. The best advice I could offer would be to edit a pre-done skin, with re-naming only the file names, and making sure the .tik and .shader files point to the right .tga files

(don't know if that made any sense... ahh well)

depends on what u want to skin... i actually use ps and psp together!!
i think psp is easier then ps for weapons and anything else besides player skins! if ur a n00b and just wanna get into basic skinning i suggest psp! If you know what ur doing then most definatly ps! biggrin: pakscape is an essential too!
