Skn Problems

[Jelle284]

I am making a custom skin but i doesn't work....... the model is red with out any face at all...

 

[Mind]

Too change the color you don't have to use skinning.

 

[Jelle284]

that is not what i want....... when i import my skin it doesn't work..... the model turns red!!

 

[Jelle284]

p.s the unit belongs to player 1 (red)

 

[Mind]

-Perhaps you must change the field "Art - Color - Red".
-The model is most probably too tall.

Wrong format Jelle. I know exactly what your saying.

Save it as a 32. And flatten your image (compress layers). Try either including alpha channels, or exluding.

That will fix it.

....What program you usin'? If you can't get it, send it to me. I'll fix it.

[Jelle284]

[SD_Ryoko]

Okay, I'll look into it further once I am home. I did not forget about you.

 

[SD_Ryoko]

OK

I don't think you can change the skin of the paladin. I'm not sure why. I tried many formats to no luck. I know it works. Look at this sample I did.

My hydra, from blue to yellow. Your paladin, only shows the cape, where the player color is supposed to be.

PS - You rotated the skin 90° !! You tring to trick me?

sorry to come to the party so late, but the reason the paladin skin doesn't work is because its alpha channels have been destroyed. I don't know how to restore them either, you will have to grab a fresh paladin skin again and do a copy/paste or something.

edit: err lemme try it again in english. The skin actually consists of 2 copies of itself, one exists as a base image, the other "floats" on top of the base image. In the paladin skin that doesn't work, the "floating" skin is not present in the skin. One of the main reasons this usually happens is that the skin has been saved in a format other than tga at some point in the editing process. Either that, or the artist got careless and decided to merge all objects onto the base image.

here's the paladin wearing the sorc skin

So in sumary, you'll have to do it again, and be more carefull....

Right.
