owl, geat to see your work, but in future could you post pictures of the skins on the tanks?


- Guest - 05.12.2009

Sure.

owl, can I ask you a question please.

How exactly have you been removing the colour from the skins? You seem to have used a similar tool such as remove white or remove black, which leaves you with all the lighting. looking at the IS2 template in pack 1 which I made a template for myself, the lighting is exactly the same as the default skin down to the pixel so how did you do it?

How do you install these? - csvousden - 05.12.2009

Do you just drop them into Mods folder?

Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Oh, no, you open them with gimp or photo shop, use the template, and resize them to the corect sizes, and look in your 3do/tanks, and you will see all of the tank names, and replace the tank original with the skin you mad, and save it as a *.tga. You have to have some mod makeing tools to do it.

owl, if these aren't simple 'add to mod folder' additions, you might want to include some propper instructions for those of us with no modding skill (like me!)

Alright.

Its kinda hard to explain.

First, get a SFS extractor.

Or my favorite Extractor:

http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,14.0.html


Extract all your sfs files from your game.


And in your mods folder, find the skin you want new in game skin you made and want, and find the correct path and name of the original skin using your sfs extrater, you can view all the files loced up in your game, and then open it with my computer.


Open your mods folder, make the correct path, and paste your new skin, witch should be saved as a tga withought rle compressian, make three of them, all the corect size, and rename them to the correct on, just like the originals.

Good luck!



Example:


yourskin.tga

mods/mods/3do/tanks/

The paste the file there and rename it to the original by looking at your original original.
