You can customise LSW1 characters (and other objects), plus get unused assetts in the game by following my tutorial here (http://www.hansen.net.nz/lswtutorial/).

very nice find. I shall soon be able to make use of this :D

what about a tutorial for lsw2

In LSW2 all the files are housed in one huge archive file (unlike LSW1 where the files were all accessible in the regular directory structure). I haven't looked for a few weeks, but to the best of my knowledge the archive still hasn't been cracked, meaning we don't have access to individual game files.

So until we do, no LSW2 skinning tutorial...
