Making Character Skins

[Samno]

I edited the skins, but when I entered into the client, I couldn't see any characters, when I tried to make a new one, the game crashed.

any ideas?

did you rezip them back up? can you upload the zip somewhere so that we can see what you did and suggest a fix? if you dont want it public you can pm me the link and i can take a look later today.

I made sure to rezip them, that wasn't the problem, I switched back to the original character files, and it started working fine, I changed the DERMM torso file to a png and changed the cal3D file, and I still don't know what's wrong, wiki upload isn't working too well, so i'll get the zip to you soon

and here she is

ok when you go to make the characters.zip, in finder open the FOLDER characters.zip highlight all folders and make sure to zip them into an archive and rename that to characters.zip and see if that helps, what you are doing now is ziping the characters.zip folder into the zip which is not correct

got my skin working good, took a screenshot but I can't find it, where are they stored?

thanks for that,  i'll get some screenshots up soon, in the mean time any suggestions for skins?



(Edit) got a screenshot, not very good one, all that I did with this skin was change the color of his clothes and add gloves, but this was just a test to get stuff figured out and working.

(reedit) sorry forgot the screen

It's great to see someone else poking at skinning. Not bad for your first, Samno. Will definitely keep an eye on this thread (when I have time)

Working on a completely custom dermorian skin, again I will accept requests, (within reasonability though.)

Thanks Kieve.

(edit)
updated the first post with new skin
