Question about skinning

Ok, I decided to attempt my first reskin. Just something simple, for now. I followed the wonderful tutorials here (http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=149626) (Thanks PrtyLizardJedi!) and extracted the Star Forge Robes (though, for some reason, the inventory icon didn't work; no biggie). After much trial and error with the colors, I got a scheme that I'm happy with for the time being. I saved it up, threw it in my override (just the tga, since I was just recoloring the original) and loaded up my game.

Now, the retexture worked, to a point. I put an orange color in place of the tan/beige color that is there by default, and it looks very yellow out in-game. There is also an odd red 'aura' (for lack of a better word) around the robe in certain places. Might just be that it looks that way outside on Dantooine. I'm not sure.

Anyway, can anyone help with the color change? I'm using Photoshop 6, if that helps at all, and following the steps in the tutorials above.

Hmm... I haven't heard of a problem like this. Post a screenshot to show what exactly the problem is and maybe I or someone else can figure it out.

Ok, will do. It will have to wait till I get home (at work now).

That, and I have to figure out how to take an in-game screenshot.

Ok, looking at it on this computer (laptop, where I did the recolor) I guess it is very similar in look, so perhaps it was either the area I was in or the monitor on my desktop not having the color profile set correctly. Will have to investigate further.

For those that want to see my work (not very good, but I'm proud of it). Check it out here (http://liquidzoo.net/images/robe-ingame.jpg)

It looks good :thumbsup: Glad you got the coloring problem fixed, or rather it went away :)

I think I know what you are talking about. I noticed a slight aura on Dantooine too.

If I'm thinking of the right thing, its just the sun reflecting off the light colour of the robe. You might want to try equiping the charactor with another light coloured robe to see if it does the same thing, but I'm pretty sure what you're seeing is normal.

Yeah, I noticed that I only see the aura when my character is outside, and I noticed it again on one of the Duros Miner NPC's (the one that talks to you near the Czerka office) on Tatooine as well. Might have something to do with the brightness setting in the game, but if I turn it down any farther, I wouldn't be able to see what's going on clearly.
