    Default Question about skins...

    Does anyone know how the game assigns the skins from each texture file?

    What I mean is...

    In each texture file, there are two rows of armor, one on the top and one on the bottom. How does the game know which ones to use for which units?

    Unless I'm mistaken it is assigned in the UVW map in the model file. Can someone enlighten us?

    Hi All

    Yes the variations are all stored in the mesh file. If you see three body variations in game it means that there are three different bodies in the mesh file, each pointing to different parts of the texture.

    Cheers
