ok so i figure that the geometry name is the skin name (.msh) file that creates a units overcoat of colors but i wanna edit one of those msh file what program do i do that with cas it won't open in paint what program do i use?

EDIT: also i had another strange issue. i can't seem to have more then 4 weapons even though they are all labaled correctly i can't have more then 4 it won't let me switch also the lightsaber i gave to luke seems to keep him from being able use grenades/medpacks excetera

BTW here is my odf if you need it

Actually, the skin name is a .tga. They are found in the MSH folder of each side. Get a program like The GIMP (Can be downloaded at http://www.gimp.org/), and then browse to the MSH folder for the side that you want to change the skins, look around for the skin you want to change, open it up, and mess around with it to your liking. A good skinning tutorial can also be found at http://www.gametoast.com/forums/viewtop ... 27&t=13184, to answer other questions you may have.

You can have a max of 8 weapons, but only 4 on each channel. That's why only 4 secondary weapons show up.

ok thanks for the skinning tip and tutorial. but what about my weapons? i only have 7 and i have 4 secondaries 3 primaries but it only shows up the first 2 primaries and first 2 secondaries what gives? also when i try to use a secondary it won't let me im guessing its because i have a lightsaber how do i fix this problem?

The thing with the lightsaber is if you set it as the first primary: then you will not be able to change weapons. If you set it as the second (or later) primary:
with a ranged weapon before it that doesn't have WeaponChannel before it than you will be able to switch from blaster the lightsaber/ melee weapon at your liking. I would also recommend reading the jedi creation.doc included in the modtools under documentation.

Oh, and offtopic: Blade, thanks for directing him to my tutorial. I hope it helped!

Also weapons should be organized by channels. Primary weapons should all be first and secondary should be last.

disregard all that from earlier i figured it out took like 2 hours though . anyway i have only one well two problems before i can finally finish up my unit.

problem uno) why won't he use his secondaries? idk why but i can neigther switch nor use my secondary weapons its really skrewy and its not even lightsaber related cas i tried replacing it with a shotgun any ideas as to whats up?

problem dos) how do i edit the actual shape of my unit he looks too much like a swamp trooper. what do i do to change his geometry (what file is that anyway ?)
