Well I am A new Skinner I would like to know how to make a new skin in an in depth tutorial but i can't find one. Also i Would like to know how to recolor a skin and keep all the physical attributes they have like any figures on their clothes. And could i be pointed in the direction of how to make nice textures? Thanx in Advance

Hello!

Unfortunately it seems as if people don't check the skinning section all that often. Still, when they do, they tend to be rather helpful.

Here's a couple tutorials from Jedi Outcast:

Skinning for JA isn't a whole lot different. I think there's a slight difference in the sound setup, which is why you can use JO skins in JA, but the sounds don't always work.

Try searching on various sites for Raven's skinning tools. It's exactly like their JO tools, but they include a small paragraph on the differences between JO and JA skinning.

Keep in mind not to crank up the compression of your image or sound files, otherwise they either won't show up, or worse they'll crash the game on you.

radd those links dont work but i too am interested if you could put em up some how....

JK2files seems to be down at the moment. Try back later when they're up. I'll try and see if I can find other links. Check Lucasfiles to see if they have the Raven modders kit, it has a nice little tutorial in it.

It's a good idea to Search the forum first to see if the answer to your question is already here. The game has been out for six months so you might have to go back more than the last 30 days.

There is a thread on tutorials here (http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=121102).

I found this one for Jedi Outcast to be very educational:

I read tutorial and it was all I needed to make my very first skin. You can see it here (http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=125913).

Radd thanks, the tut from raven is good but i can't seem to be able to convert the final back to a pk3 file i can rename it but it still shows as a zip file.

amidala thanks I'll check those links out big help an the same question as above...

You are probably using Windoze XP (I use Win2000) and I think it hides file extensions by default, so if you rename myfile (really myfile.zip) to myfile.pk3, it's really myfile.pk3.zip.
