Do you mean to make a realistic skin, or to download a realistic skin?

i know he maybe found this, but since i put the trubble in to it ill post it.
1- open gimp
2- open the file you want to edit. For me its the rep_inf_clonecommander.tga.
3- select the paint tool and change the opacity around 50%
4- Next select the freeforum tool
5- select the area where you what to edit
6- paint away
7- next save it withOUT RLE compression.
8- in you ***c_con.lua and add dc: in front of the ReadDataFile("SIDE\\rep.lvl", so it looks like this: ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\rep.lvl",
9- munge and play your done.
*** stands for you 3 letter map name.
