Skin help

[Muffin]

Hello all. I tried to make a skin out of default textures, only edited slightly. I've checked at least twice to see that the textures are indexed & the right dimensions. However, when I compile the UTX/INT files and try to open the skin in UT, when I go to Player Setup, the game freezes. Help?

What tools did you use?
Did you disable MIP-Mapping on the skin import?

GIMP & UT Skin Maker v2.4.1.

There is no error. It simply just freezes up when I try to click Player Setup, and then I have to open the task manager and close UT from there. I'll try your tutorial though.

Muff, post a screenshot of the .int file's setup and your textures in UnrealEd please.

If you don't know how:
1) Open texture in UnrealEd & hit Print Scrn on keyboard.
2) Goto any image/paint program and paste it into that.
3) Crop out just the part with the relevant content.
4) Save to a .png or .jpg, whichever you prefer.
5) Repeat for the .int file.

Also, what're the file names for the .int & .utx? They need to match.

Alright, I fixed it. Turns out you had to have a default texture along with the team colors. Boy do I feel stupid

Okay, next question. How do you add multiple faces?

How do you add multiple faces?

There's 2 levels of texturing to the faces: 4 & 5
4 - is the texture for the head, hands, bottom of the feet, translocator, and head comm unit.
5 - is the talk texture that gores along with it, what you see when the skin says anything.

This is variant I made for myself of a clan skin for Hook's server:


Object=(Name=Soldier_piratey.yarr4Gibbs,Class=Texture,Description="Gibbs")
Object=(Name=Soldier_piratey.yarr5Gibbs,Class=Texture)

Object=(Name=Soldier_piratey.yarr4Jack,Class=Texture,Description="Jack")
Object=(Name=Soldier_piratey.yarr5Jack,Class=Texture)

Object=(Name=Soldier_piratey.yarr4Monk,Class=Texture,Description="Monk")
Object=(Name=Soldier_piratey.yarr5Monk,Class=Texture)

Basically, like that.
