noob skinning problem

[MoPeY]

ok, i got a question about a texture im trying to make.

Just for fun I've been reskinning ATG's spartans to look alittle different (i'm just doing it for fun i have no intentions of jacking his work and re-releasing it), but whenever I use the skin ingame, every spartan looks great except for one oddball soldier who always seems to stand at the very front of the formation in the same spot every time. And whenever he dies, another spartan who WAS normal changes into looking like the one below.




I've tried messing with the textures, but it seems every thing I do this one dude alwasy appears who has black around his hair, cape, and shoulder pieces. I'm currently using gimp 2.0 to make my textures, thats possibly the problem, but I really dont know. Any pro's out there know how to get around this problem? thanks in advance

hmm thats an alpha channel mistake but i dont know why its only appearing on one soldier... i dont use gimp so im not sure...

This is an old bug that as far as i know has never been solved, Is he the guy standing next to the officer??. or at least on the end of the line.

[MoPeY]

yeah he is. Dang well if its a bug then i guess ill just have to live with it, i just wondered cause i see all these other modder's making units and they dont have this problem, so theres gotta be a way to solve it. Oh well, thanks anyway

Thought so, first time i saw this was with BI units and i never saw anyone fix it. you could try using the lod2 in the DMB rather than the lod1, The difference is minimal so that might work.

Another thing you can try is to add m at the end of the model 'flexi line, i think that works for some unit bugs, though i can't remember what it does exactly.

model_flexi_m bi/data/models_unit/BI_unit_spearman_peasant_lod1.cas, 15
model_flexi bi/data/models_unit/BI_unit_spearman_peasant_lod2.cas, 30
