The TRPG 5.005 Help List FAQ


IV. Skinning

A. Description.
      This section hopefully will explain to all ye' whippersnappers how to edit up a skin for a model. Most of this can be found directly in your TribesTools pack, so you might as well just look there fist!

B. Needed Files.
      To make skins for tribes and tribes RPG you'll need to download the "TribesTools pack", available at this website.
      The files you will be concearned with in this pack for skinning are in the makeskin zip file of the pack.

C. Creation and Conversion.
      Well... I was going to re-write all the stuff dynamix had already written down... but I changed my mind. If you would like to know what "goes next" then go to your tribes tools pack, or to your makeskin directory and read the "makeskin.txt" file.
      To replace a skin file in TRPG just place the name of the new skin file into the \RPG\Skins directory of your tribes folder with the name of the old skin. For example; if I made a new Orc Skin file for the medium armor size to replace the old one, I would call it "rpgorc.marmor.bmp" when running "makeskin.exe" to make the skin.
