Using the same skin on different units

How would you for example a tatooine or mygeeto map all the skins have to
be Marines and Sandtroopers. So how would you do it?

thanks

It would be easiest to just make another of what u want, and then give them that gun

you just place the units inside the map, creat diffrent odf and .req files for them, and in the odf put the Class parent as the class you want it to be.

Example:

If I wanted to have and a jungle rifleman skin as a sniper I would go into the odf. you would edit the ClassParent to be a sniper, then add the unit's "all_inf_rifleman_jungle" file into the .lua file.

[GameObjectClass]
ClassParent = "all_inf_default_sniper"

[Properties]
GeometryName = "all_inf_soldier"
GeometryLowRes = "all_inf_soldier_low1"
OverrideTexture = "all_inf_soldierjungle"
FirstPerson = "all\alltroop;all_1st_trooper"

ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\xxx.lvl",
"all_inf_rifleman_jungle",

all = {
team = ALL,
units = 20,
reinforcements = 150,
soldier = { "all_inf_rifleman",9, 25},
assault = { "all_inf_rocketeer",1,4},
engineer = { "all_inf_engineer",1,4},
sniper = { "all_inf_rifleman_jungle",1,4},
officer = { "all_inf_officer",1,4},
special = { "all_inf_wookiee",1,4},

You could do any of the above, or you could copy the units msh file, rename it, then hex-edit the units .tga file name in the msh.

When you hex-edit the units .tga name, the new name of the .tga has to have the same amount of characters as the default .tga file. (I.E.: all_inf_rifleman.tga - bob_inf_rifleman.tga - they each have 16 characters).

Doing this, you would have to copy the unit's .odf, .msh, low1.msh, and texture files; .tga and rename them.

bob_inf_rifleman.odf
bob_inf_rifleman.msh
bob_inf_rifleman_low1.msh
bob_inf_rifleman.tga

You would also have to list your new renamed units in your map's .lua file.

I believe i've covered everything.

Funny how this works for me on units, but not on weapons.
I think you missed one little thing: if the new name for the texture is shorter, then fill the gap with spaces.

@ Karnage & phazon:

Don't confuse the man. He didn't ask how to have a map with two of the same model, each with a different texture. He asked how to have multiple units using the same model and texture. For example, having a Galactic Marine (rep_inf_ep3_commander) as both his rifleman and his rocketeer.

And all you have to do to do that is to edit the .odfs of your rocketeer to call for "rep_inf_clonecommander" instead of "rep_inf_ep3heavytrooper" wherever it mentions geometry. Much more simple than hex-editing to use different skins on the same model.
