Now that you have your mod tools fully installed, go to C:\BF2_ModTools\data\_BUILD
Once your there open up Modtools VisualMunge, when its opened create a 3 letter world name, Full world name and a short description of your world. Choose what game modes you want. Hit create world it should take 5-10 minutes.
When thats done you should have all of your worlds information in C:\BF2_ModTools\data_999 (NOTE: 999 is my world name yours will be different depending on what 3 letter name you gave your world) If you have that you are gold'n.
Now you need to locate this address: C:\BF2_ModTools\assets\sides, copy the folder for which you want to customize
rep = republic
cis = cis
all = alliance
imp = imperials
to this address: C:\BF2_ModTools\data_999\Sides, along with the common folder which was also found in this address: C:\BF2_ModTools\assets\sides
Now that you have all of your folders in the correct places, its all down hill from here. Open up Gimp and, go to file open now locate this address: C:\BF2_ModTools\data_999\Sides, double click the side you want to skin, double click msh.
Find the unit the you would like to skin all skinable items will be a .tga once its opened up you will see all the body parts crammed in a square. now pull out your tools and start skinning away,
Just a word of advice use the airbrush it makes it look more sharp.
when your pleased with your skin, save as and turn RLE compression off.
Now you need to go to this address: C:\BF2_ModTools\data_999\Common\scripts\999 open whatever file corrospnds with what game mode you chose with notepad.
G = Gallactic Cival Wars
C = Clone wars
so for example if I wanted to open up galactic cival war conquest I would choose this file 999g_con and it has to be a .lua file not .bak
once its opened youll scroll down until you find this:
ReadDataFile("SIDE\\imp.lvl" or if I wanted to find the alliance it would be ReadDataFile("SIDE\\all.lvl"
you would change the side that code to: ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\imp.lvl" or ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\all.lvl" depnding on what side you skinned
Once your done that save it close everything open up VisualMunge from this address: C:\BF2_ModTools\data_999\_BUILD Just hit munge and let it work its magic and once it says DONE - GO RUN BATTLEFRONT(or something like that)
YOUR DONE! just open up swbf2 play your map and enjoy
