I am new to GT and modding I want to know how do I and what do I use to create skins for modders and just a download so people dont have to put them in their maps.

Please Help!!! :clone: :stormie:

The best advice i can give you is to download the free program " the GIMP." That's what you should use. A good tutorial can ve found in the "everything you need" thread in the modding section. look under Sides

Welcome at Gametoast!
if you want instant-ingameputable skinns, you have to make a side with the new skinnsand release the side, so everyone has just to copy the side into the right folder to enjoy them

Thank you very much I will try these

I dont really understand what dark duck said can someone explain

Mmmm, alright.

Here's quick run-through on getting started to skin, you may or may not have already completed some of these steps.

1) Download the SWBF2 Modtools, found here: http://starwarsbattlefront.filefront.co ... s_PC;57352

2) Read the Getting Started documentation, found in BF2_Modtools/documentation, then read the Jedi Creation Doc

3) Create a new side for your map as the Jedi Creation Doc details.

4) Now, go to you're new side's msh folder (for example, sides/jed/msh), and open up one of the Targa (TGA) files with GIMP.

5) Edit the texture to your pleasing, then follow the rest of the instructions on how to get your new side to work ingame.

6) Munge, making sure to include your side in the options, and voila.

Is this for skins in a map or can I make them seperate and put them on Filefront?

Im gonna say both so thank you

Oh this looks funny

If you want to create skins that people can use without having to make their own maps to use them, then you need to either make a side mod (which involves recreating entire stock sides) or a map of your own that uses the skins. There's no way you can just make a "skin" and have people use it without being able to mod themselves.

But ehat about what Delta_57_dash did on filefront elite sides mod
o yea kool aid lock

I think he wants to make skins but not necessarily put them in game -- just give it to other people to use.

well both like elite sides mod or droideka88s skin pack

oh yea kool aid lock

Dude, stop spamming the

Let me make it more simple I want to make a sides mod. How do I do that? :maulsaber:

Taivyx already explained what you should do if you want to make a new side. A "sides mod" is simply the files from new sides replacing the game's stock files.

Ok..... So how do I make a skin pack? ty taivyx.

I want to make my frist mod more simple. I think im just not cut out to be a cartographer du dun dun chhh

I always follow the instructions but when it comes up to zero editor im a poo cartographer I can never place cps dont worry about that... as if you even were... some people are too nice

Make skins. Add them to a .zip (or .rar, or whatever kind of archive) file. Fini.

but how do i make the skins :crying:

By editing the tga files.

Do not over wright the shipped tga's though.

I have 1 last question where do I fing the tga files yay! ty
