Can anyone recomend a program to make skins? I've never really done 3D graphics before, so something easy to use would be the best for me to get started on. _______________ -Stratejacket FBS Clan Leader |

OK i'll let u see how I have my files set, and maybe you could tell me what I'm doing wrong. In the base folder I have a compressed file Kyle_Kotor inside Kyle_Kotor I have the folders "botfiles" "models". inside models I have "players" folder. Inside the "players" folder I have the jpeg files, head, hands, legs, torso, ect.. I have "model.glm" "model_default.skin" "model_kyle_Kotor.skin"(was model_menu.skin)and "sound.cgf" Thats it  How do I get this to work? _______________ Brother to: Tamal, Kavar, J.D.,Jermia, Devlin, Ulic, Xiabara, Seij,Tarron Mib,>>>ROCK ON  .My Spacescapes art page.My Everything Else art page.

hmm, not sure i understand, but you should have a pk3, inside it should have a folder in it called models, inside that a folder called players, and inside that a folder called the name of your skin. In the folder with the name of your skin you should have the jpegs, a model.glm, at least 1 .skin text file, and preferably a 256x256 icon jpeg. The .skin name and icon name should match, so if you have "model_default.skin" text file, your jpeg should be "icon_default". (only the defualt will show up in the main profile screen, if you have a model_blue/red and an icon_blue/red they will show up in the profile under their corresponding team menus) So in the pk3 you should have models/players/<skin name>/all the crap. The paths in the .skin are all logical, for example, one of mine is "torso,models/players/alba/torso.tga", and in the pk3 i have models/players/alba/torso.tga. I hope that made sense heh, i feel like im rambling. Good Luck. _______________ Gladiators, I salute you. |

1. Download this (provided you have Windows XP). 2. Open the zip, and execute the program. 3. Open your Game folder (Lucasarts/Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy/Gamedata/base). 4. Double-click the file called "assets1.pk3". 5. Click into the "models" folder followed by "players". 6. Select the name of the model you wish to re-skin and open its folder. 7. Drag the file out of the Compressed Folder and onto the desktop. 8. Edit the images inside of the folder using PS (Should be as simple as "File > Open"  .You can freely edit the name of the folder to your own, as well as the image names. However, for the skin to work properly, you must change these names in the .skin files. When you're finished, create a compressed folder and throw the folder in, then rename the zip file to the name of your skin (and add .pk3 to the end). Place it into your base folder and you're done! If you need further help, check this out. Good luck. |

Has anyone ever tried using "Poser 5" for making skins? I'm not sure how good it is... _______________ Get busy living, or get busy dying. |

Well, they are unknown files to my computer. I don't wanna fiddle around renaming them or making them open as compressed folders via its properties, so I just decided to use this little utility.  |

Not even "basically". PK3's *ARE* zip files, just renamed to have the .pk3 extension. Windows XP should automatically detect them as being ZIPs and allow you to browse and extract from them as you would a regular compressed folder. _______________ Saving the world, one kilobyte at a time. |

If you have Windows XP, feel free to download this. It will allow you to open PK3 files with a Double Click, like normal .zip files. If you want to edit a skin, do this (assuming you're using the program I linked to): Go to your Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy\GameData\Base directory and open the file "assets1.pk3". Dig your way into the models\players directory and drag out the folder of the skin you wanna edit. For example: jan. There are several images, which you can edit. If you're unsure of skinning, you can find a tutorial via Google. |

.pk3 files are basically Compressed Zip files. PK3s will not open in Photoshop, but contained within these pk3 files are folders, such as gfx, sound, music, maps, etc. |

Hmmm. where are the JK3 files though, 'cause i've looked in the JK3 folder on this computer, and there's nothing there. It's empty. What do i need for Photoshop to see the files? _______________ Padawan to Solitude "Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to... suffering" -Jedi Master Yoda "I shall not fear.

Well, I dunno what program would allow you to paint the model, but if I heard of one, I would get it, that's for sure! In Photoshop, you'd have to open the "models/Players/<Player>/head.jpg" and edit it with the tools provided in Photoshop, for example. |
