Help me im trying to make a new skin for the nade.
Im about halfway through but i wanted to see if it worked so i saved it as a Tga file packed it 'textures/models/weapons/p_masher' and saved it in the main, but the nade in the game dosnt seem to of changed please help

im a matter of fact ive finished my skin but i cant get it to show up after i finished it i used this help thing:

Now save the file as steilhangrenate.tga

Next you will need to create a .pk3 file from this image. I use pakscape, but you can create a folder and add the following folders inside it… textures/models/weapons/p_masher (axis) or m2grenade (allies) and put the .tga inside.

Zip it all up and save it as a .pk3 file. (make sure you save it as user-whatever) ex. User-Hobbs_Nades

You edited pak2.pk3?

Changing original .pk3's can make MoHAA unstable.

Extract the part of the .pk3 file you want to edit, including the folder structure, or create the structure and files yourself. Edit or replace the files (use a tutorial for this) you want to change, and save them. Compress the files and folders to a .zip and rename to user_nice_grenade.pk3 or whatever, and put them in your MoHAA\main or MoHAA\mainta (for Spearhead) folder. Should work.
Only the files you have edited should be present in the .pk3, more files only will only use up space.

If this doesn't work, you have done something wrong. Most likely it has something to do with your .tga (size, compression, whatever).

Sid · 04-01-2003, 10:29 AM
