i opened, skinned, saved without rle compression 24bit (i think)
munged it loaded my map and played, except instead of red skin and black robes, yoda had a ghostlike silvery color, like there was no skin attached to the model...so i thought maybe i had extra layers...
so i followed elfies tutorial, opened battlefornt , and this time it didnt show at all...so idk
edit: got a pic...
