I'm trying to reskin the jedistarfighter, but to no prevail. The ship works fine other than the texture doesn't show up. Here is what I did:

Made a costom side
Used Gimp to edit the texture
Renamed the texture to match that of the .msh

When I load it in the game it shows up grey. Can some one tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

Save as, uncheck RLE compression.

Hey, cool thanks! I'll try it!

EDIT: No, that did not work. Is there any thing else I need to do from the steps I posted above?

Sure at all ?

Follow this:

First you must have all the files needed for the starfighter.
Open Gimp and start editing the skin.
When you see it ready go to save as and dont change the name and press yes.
A window will show up, that says save as tga, there in the left upper corner says RLE compression.
Uncheck it, munge and see it.

You may probalby want to DL the msh viewer.

I did all of this.

Do you guys need to see my odf? Or will that help?

Absolutely sure ?

Did you changed the name of the skin ?

Absolutely sure ?

YES. If I was not I wouldn't be here asking this question.

I did not change the name of the skin. The name of the mesh is "wow_fly_myship.msh" And the name of the Targa is "wow_fly_myship.tga". Would my odf help?

I am getting out of the hand, i never did a vehicle.

Ah a Hex-editor. Ok, I'll try that.

Edit: Well, it doesn't work. It's crashing after the loading bar hits the end. I get these errors in the Munge Log:

Code: Select all

ERROR[PC_texturemunge WOW\msh\wow_fly_myship.tga]:Targa type 10 not currently supported.
ERROR[PC_texturemunge WOW\msh\wow_fly_myship.tga]:Targa type 10 not currently supported.

Any ideas?

Edit2: Ah, well, I guess I'll just start over and post back here when I'm done.

Yes, that error says that you're saving the tga files in the wrong format. To save them in the correct format, turn off RLE compression.
