New to skinning

Karmarie Zar · Post by **Karmarie Zar** » Wed Mar 25, 2015 2:56 am

So I've recently looked into creating my own skin, instead of trying to bug anybody about it and I was wondering are there any tutorials or program's I should be using for a beginner ? and does anybody have any ideas on what attire an initiate would wear ?

An Initiate would be given traditional attire. A tunic, a helmet and a belt; as well as your datapad, lightsaber etc. The programs you'll require are PakScape, Photoshop (or an image editing program) and Modview. Keep it simple and realistic.

>This< thread would be useful to get you started.

Alrighty , thanks hopefully I won't shoot myself over this, if I get stuck I be sure to ask around and put my new Skype info here.

Last question, is there a decent model, for young kids I can base my character of ?

Silas Vir'n · Post by **Silas Vir'n** » Wed Mar 25, 2015 3:43 am

The youngling model you're currently using works best for your age but the choice is ultimately yours. It's your character.

At age about 13 is mostly when people transition from the youngling model to an older one!

Alrighty, and is there a place for any template for Tunics ?

That I'm not too sure about, but any adult model tunics you could probably get from spanki's customization packs n terms of textures. They're available in plain too.

Sounds good, thanks Zander!

Here's my model_standard.skin file with Hooded and robed varients so you have a base line for your own and can see the differences to enable and disable the hoods for the robe, you just edit the "_standard" to whatever you are naming the 'varient' such as "model_test" so ingame you'd type "/model karm/test" to load that file.
Also you alter any line in the skin file that has /players/<name>/<folder(optional)>/<body part>.tga to include your model name, the name of the folder where the image is located so the game knows what to load and the name of the body part such as "head_face_c.tga" for example, though you'll only need the one head for every skin unless you're a fashion icon like Sab who needs multiple hair styles

For adding/editting custom sounds for your character I refer you to This topic by myself for help.

For holster.cfg files look here

An example of my holster that sets all hilts to the left hip facing upside down similar to the movies AND also disables/hides any guns you might be holding so they are hidden from your belt and not cluttering your view of the character, experiment with the locations till you find one you like using the galaxy server to test your skin till you're certain everything is in working order.

Code: Select all

//==========================================================================================
//This file contains configuration data for attaching holstered weapons on this playermodel.
//When used in conjuncture with the holster debug system, you can configure the holster weapons
//to be anywhere on the playermodel's body.
//
//
//
//	Possible HolsterTypes (Use numerical values when using rpc_debugHolsteredWeapons):
//	1 = HLR_SINGLESABER_1,			//first single saber
//	2 = HLR_SINGLESABER_2,			//second single saber
//	3 = HLR_SINGLESABER_1_IDLEINBACK	//first single saber, idle in back
//	4 = HLR_SINGLESABER_2_IDLEINBACK	//second single saber, idle in back
//	5 = HLR_STAFFSABER,			//staff saber
//	6 = HLR_PISTOL_L,			//left hip blaster pistol
//	7 = HLR_PISTOL_R,			//right hip blaster pistol
//	8 = HLR_BLASTER_L,			//left hip blaster rifle
//	9 = HLR_BLASTER_R,			//right hip blaster rifle
//	10 = HLR_BRYARPISTOL_L,			//left hip bryer pistol
//	11 = HLR_BRYARPISTOL_R,			//right hip bryer pistol
//	12 = HLR_BOWCASTER,			//bowcaster
//	13 = HLR_ROCKET_LAUNCHER,		//rocket launcher
//	14 = HLR_DEMP2,				//demp2
//	15 = HLR_CONCUSSION,			//concussion
//	16 = HLR_REPEATER,			//repeater
//	17 = HLR_FLECHETTE,			//flechette
//	18 = HLR_DISRUPTOR,			//disruptor
//
//	
//	Possible boneIndexes (Use numerical values when using rpc_debugHolsteredWeapons_boneIndex):
//	Note:  Use "disabled" (without the quotes) or HOLSTER_NONE if you want to disable 
//	       the rendering of that particular holster weapon.
//  	0 = HOLSTER_NONE, 	//no bone, don't display holster weapon
//  	1 = HOLSTER_UPPERBACK,	
//  	2 = HOLSTER_LOWERBACK,
//  	3 = HOLSTER_LEFTHIP,
//	4 = HOLSTER_RIGHTHIP,
//
//	Holster Weapon Groups and Priorities:
//
//	Single handed lightsabers always appear (defaultly placed on the thighs).
//
//	Blaster weapons (pistols and blasters) can appear in both the right and left holster
//	positions (defaulting to the left and right hips), but the same weapon will never appear in 
//	both positions at the same time.
//		Priority:
//			Blaster
//			Pistol
//			Bryar Pistol
//
//
//	The larger weapons are stuck in the same location (normally on the back).
//		Priority:
//			Staff Saber
//			Rocket Launcher
//			Concussion Rifle
//			Repeater
//			Flechette
//			Disruptor
//			Bowcaster
//			Demp 2

It seems I have ran into an error with trying to load my textures into modview.

Evanin Dawnstar · Post by **Evanin Dawnstar** » Wed Mar 25, 2015 2:44 pm

I've always had problems with it tbh so I rely on what I've learned and test ingame, noting errors and fixing them as they come.

Karmarie Zar · Post by **Karmarie Zar** » Wed Mar 25, 2015 3:30 pm

I do require some help, if any one is willing to.
