Ok well several things, firstly the mod tools, if you can run SWBF then they should work. make sure you are installing them in a correct directory (one with no spaces in the file path) this is all explained in the accompanying documentation, keep trying and eventually you'll succeed any probs then do a forum search and then post if necessary to find out how to get zeroeditor BFBuilder etc... to work. Ok now on to skinning, you'll need software capable of editing TGA files, you may or may not have this. Do a search on your computer or in the assets folder shipped with modtools for any TGA files, try and open them and either they'll open in your paint/photo editing prog or it won't be able to open them, if it can't open them you'll be pretty much stuck there in terms of reskinning or changing TGA files. Don't be disheartened though I think people on here may help if you say what you're after exactly but I think you're more inclined to get a response as to how to do it. try doing a search for software on http://www.download.com that'll alow you to edit TGAs and then go from there. Hope all that rambling helps some.

um ok interesting but I have something to tell you, first off Diet Dr. Pepper she looks good, second even if I could do that it would require a model to skin (I could skin the model, if this doesnt make sense then here's how it works)

a skin is just a texture not a model meaning that I could make Mace Windu white but not make his nose longer

lastly I dont dictate what health and weapons the charcater has, that is all dictated in the map, and unless you have a map that you created there is really no way youl be able to get this is in game

sry

Diet Dr. Pepper, now it sounds really intriging, definately post the photo up on here. That's of course (I'm assuming) it's not an 18 plus only rated pic LOL :D

really there is nothing you can do... making a totaly new character is extremely hard. considering you have to create all the animations to the model, its just not something that is easy to do without some major expereince

Actually that stuff is decided by the odf.

LOL - I like your sig :D

its not possible for a modder to create a workable unit - yet :twisted:

some of us are working with High Pressure to learn more about the skeletons, which is the most important thing on the model(s)

I'm sure it'll come with time :P lol

yes the weapons are dictated by the ODF but that still is edited in the map/mod

and like Qdin said, without a skeleton and animations to that skeleton the model will just float around the map (if you could even model a character)

Modeling a character is not for the faint of heart this process can take several days of constant work (depending on how good you are and what tools they are) learning a new tool of this sort is also difficult
