Need help With Photoshop skinning

**The_Dark_Legion** · June 18, 2008, 08:54 AM

Hey, so I skinned a unit and I replaced the file and also saved another copy called NEW_UNIT.TGA

So later on I created a texture file within data/model_unit and saved my new skins there.

So I edited the name of the unit's file on DESCR_MODEL_BATTLE in the texture part. Once I play RTW and I choose the unit that I edited, the game loads on custom battle and then crashes.

is there any tutorial that tells you step by step were to save your files and what to change? please help me out. thank you in advance

You could try nameing it NEW_UNIT.TGA.dds

see if that helps

NO!
This can´t help you. There is NO .dds in DMB .txt

Guys, i've been helping out DL also and he's found out how to get it right. Or something but he can skin now. But i'm sure he'd appreciate your guys help anyway. - Just a heads up.

Save textures in the data/models_unit/textures folder. That should get rid of your CTD.

I dont mean to be rude, but I need help at editing the units in RTW...
I am VERY new to using photoshop, and I simply can not for the life of me figure out how to even open the files in RTW's models to begin editing their skins... help?

If your going to edit RTW skins you need to unpack them first, see here..

Then try looking through the tutorials..
