Well, it has been a while, but I have a problem. My unit, a pilot battle droid, has a new skin. It is a different shade of blue, but it does not appear in game. At first, I got that, "Targa 10 is not currently supported," thing. So I corrected it by looking at topics about it on GT, and the unit still didn't show the new skin. Currently, it is showing the default pilot droid skin. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Any help would be appreciated.

Did you put the dc: in front of your side name in the lua?

Xavious, yes, I did. It is not that the unit doesn't appear, because it does. The problem is that the unit that does appear doesn't have the right skin, even though i did everything required to get the skin in game.

Any help would be appreciated.

You probably messed up somewhere along the line with the override texture (the battledroid model has one of these). We'll need to know the name of the texture you're using, the name of the mesh (assuming you haven't modified the mesh), and see your droid's .odf.

Here's an example of custom over ride skin: In my case, cis_inf_battledroid_storm is the over ride texture.
Post your pilots odf like mav said so we can see what you did wrong.

Umm, no it shouldn't.

it shouldnt? i thot u just replace the geometry name? (isnt that the tuxture.) unless this is completely different in which case i dont know what im talking about.
EDIT: oh then i prbly dont know what im talking about...
EDIT2: oh wait, i see it, i dont know what im talking about sorry . cant u just replace the old texture tho instead of making an override texture?

Agzilla might useing the shipped pilot skin, but yes, its just easier to replace the skin.

OOOOOooohh wait youre not the guy who needs help...i thot that was his odf sorry man, my bad but yea, agzilla, i would just replace the skin if i were you.

Hey guys, sorry I was gone for a while (stupid homework). anyway............

You guys were right. The overide texture was the problem. I originally thoguht that that was used by the game, if things got messed up, to help it find a way to continue woking. Thus if there was a problem with the texture, the overide texture would kick in. I did not know that it directly affects what the unit looks like.

Anyway, thanks a lot, this thread can now be locked.

Glad I could help.
