Before we go on I would just like to say that I KNOW I am a newb so no flaming! :thumbs:

I was simply reskining the republic, I munged the side and its not showing up. Could it have to do with me having the convo pack?

in gimp when you save something as a .tga (the only accepted format in the skinning world) it prompts you with 2 checkboxes, the first is one with RLE compression, gotta uncheck that or else you end up with a munge error.
