Hey, I'm right now working on my new mod, but I need some help. I'm trying to change the model for the Clone officer to the same one as the Ep3 Clone Trooper, but with an officer skin (Commander Appo). But..... I got as far as the model part but, the skin still remains the default 501st Trooper skin... I've done the whole "OverrideTexture" (I'm not sure if I spelt it right there) and I've converted the skin I want to TGA format, but It's still not working :x !!!! What do I need to do??? Thanks :D

Overide texture only works on some models, You need to hex edit the name of the old texture, and change it to the name of the new one.

First download Frhed, or Free Hex editor, and then open the unit's msh with it.

Find the TGA name in the msh, it should be, remebering off the top of my head rep_inf_ep3_clonetrooper.tga, you should rename the skin you want to use, so that it has the same number of characters in its name as the defualt skin, like:

ran_inf_ep3_clonetrooper.tga
msh_inf_ep4_domertrooper.tga

then change what the msh calls to your new texture name.

It MUST have the same number of characters.
then save.

There may be more then one refrence to the TGA name, so make sure to change both, if thats the case.
