Transfering Skins From Faction To Faction

Post by osiris_113 »

I am having problems taking skins from one faction (imp) and putting them in another (all). Im trying to make rebels look like imp engineer (I am going to reskin it). But all Im getting is a solid black imp engineer with no depth.

Does anyone know why this is happening? :?: :!: :?:

So... basically you're trying to give the rebels an imperial engineer model, but there's no texture applied to it? Make sure that every MSH and TGA file that has anything to do with the engineer is copied over to the ALL side. To find what TGA's it requires, open up the MSH in Notepad and press ctrl+F. Search for TGA until you know what skin is required, then copy it over to ALL.

what exactly did you do? :P

if you're using a different skin, you MUST remember 2 things: 1st is that it's different models, and therefore there ARE NO guarantee that a Clone Trooper skin will work on a Rebel Engineer... :? but I assume you understand that.
2nd is that it's the 'model-files' or .MSH* files which contains the models, and it's in THERE it knows which texture(s) to use. Did you just copy/paste the .TGA's into the all's side or did you do something else...?
