I'm moving some of my skins over to JA, and for the most part they all work out fine. Except for those where I've turned off certain parts, IE Jan's vest and hip_chap. The old .surf files no longer work.
What do I change to make them work?
when you use the JA model, the surf file is no longer necessary. All the parts are on by default. To turn them off, simply replace the texture name/pathway in the .skin file with *off.
So the altered line would appear similar to this,...
torsob_vest,*off
Then what I really need to do is switch to the new Jan model and skin files.
But what if, say, I wanted to remove Rodian's vest? In JO I could do that, but Rodian's file isn't as helpful as Jan's. Removing it just makes a hole and I can't see a way to turn the torso back on.
Raven goofed on that one,...
I've seen several people who have wanted to remove the Rodian's vest, but I have yet to see anyone come up with any solutions for it.
