Guide To Sp And Mp Skin Conversion

[Saberdude99]

OOOOO awesome. Ide say the second one ive been looking for one of those for ever and there arent any out there like it.

[Rebel_Spy]

it's looking good. I really like both, release whichever you want, ...or maybe both!

[DarkLord60]

Can someone show me what the problem is here is it the shader?

[DarkLord60]

One thing I learned while converting MP to SP is that when renaming things you must have kyle in all lower case cause the files are caps sensitive.

[DarkLord60]

Ok here is what I did!
No that isnt how you do it. what you do is open model_default.skin and edit lines from this.

Here is how it works but I still have probs.

• unzip tex_quigon.pk3
  open model/player folder
  rename folder from tex_quigon to kyle making sure that kyle is in all lowercase letters.
  open file model_default.skin with word and edit lines like this:

• After thats done do the same for model_red.skin and model_blue.skin
  completing all of these go back to window where you can see all three dir as shown below.

Directory paths

C:\unziped\texquigon\models\players\kyle\
----------------------------shaders\
----------------------------sounds\chars\kyle\misc\

• Zip folders models, sounds, and shaders into pk3 format
  Then put into your base directory and presto!

I did all of above and I am still having troubles.? help!

[Hekx]

Make sure you have the files in the Sepiroth folder, in the new Kyle folder. If not, they can't read the files, making him an untextured white blob.

[paladin655]

its not that its because my zip file won't turn into a pk3 file!

[Tyler_Durden]

actually all you need to get the skins ingame is the model.glm and the model_default.skin and place these to files into the models/players/kyle folder that you made and then trun it into a .pk3. However a problem i'm having is that the saber on some of these sticks out the back of the model. How do i fix that?

[Tyler_Durden]

i forgot to add: you have to have the original model .pk3 in the base folder in order for the model to work in sp.

[Obikenobi]

Hi this is Obikenobi it has been a long time since I have posted and I still have not seen anything that will remove the vest, chaps, goggles on Jan when using her as a single player Kyle replacement.

I wound up reskinning Tavion by using Absaths infamous skin and using that model as the single player Kyle replacement. This actually came out half decent.

I still think it has to do with the actual model.glm file itself.

Have you ever found a workaround for this or has anyone ever redone the Jan model so these blasted items are turned off and things like the torso augment turned on.

If you know please reply. If anyone else knows please reply.

Thanks

[Southring]

Hey, Jedi90? Could you PM me the process you used to get those shaders and the no-robe thing to work? If you would, I'd much appreciate it. Danke.

[Obikenobi]

Darklighter,

Never mind the last post I figured out how to get it to work.

I will be posting a tutorial on how i did it soon.

So for now lets just put it this way I was correct it had everything to do with the MODEL.GLM file.

Also I reconfigured the model to make it work. This last part will make some of the old Modeler's around here probably crap their collective pants when I detail how in my tutorial. The simplicity of it is simply a beautiful thing Best of all every bit of this process is absolutly free.

I DID NOT USE 3DSMAX, MAYA, OR ANY OF THOSE OTHER EXPENSIVE PROGRAMS TO DO IT WITH EITHER. Nope not Milk shape either. Keep an eye out tutorial soon to come. As soon as I figure out where to post it that is... Suggestions welcomed.

[Obikenobi]

Ok here is the link to the guide I posted enjoy

http://www.lucasforums.com/showthrea...threadid=96471

[Tesla]

Maybe someone in this thread can help me, right how can i change kyle in singleplayer to luke so i can play as the luke model in the game?????

[Obikenobi]

Thats an easy one go to jk2files.com and look for the conversion you can download it there. There are a bunch of other ones too more than I can can count you can play as Vader, Anakin, Kenobi, Yoda etc... the list goes on and on.

[Tesla]

ok thanks obikenobi
i download one now since can't be bothered to do it myself

[Whitesaber]

I was wondering: Is a "compressed folder" the same internally as a ZIP. They share the same file extention, but are they compressed the same? The reason I ask this is because I don't have WinZip, so I'm compressing the folder into a compressed folder instead.

[Tesla]

i think they are similar in a way not sur what that is though

[Djo'Tarr]

Darklighter,

I must say a really cool tutorial there man I had a bit of hard time at the start and i could'nt get the skin i wanted to use SP to work.

I came back and re-read all the forum posts....and what i had done (curse my grammer) was out of sheer habbit. Instead of naming the folder 'kyle' (all lowercase) i named it 'Kyle' instead....and thus it did'nt work

But now it does, so what i am gonna do is write up a readme file for it, making sure i give credit to the author of the skin (i'll probaly mail him first), and then also thank you for your help also.

Good job mate!


Djo'Tarr

[SasukeSarutobi]

I'm pretty new to this...so could someone send me an email with a detailed step by step process....because I've tried to follow the tutorial, but I'm really confused....about all of it.....If I try to open the model in word pad it just comes up as jiberish....

My email is dragonlancefighter@hotmail.com

Thanks,
Sasuke

[Rebel_Spy]

hope that you are not trying to open the .glm file with notepad, because that's wrong, you must open the .skin file with notepad and then just follow the tutorial and you'll do it fine.

[Kawasaki_IJ]

Ok, I figured out how to convert my MP trando into an SP trandoshan, but can the sounds be converted along with it? My skin just uses the standard trandoshan sounds (chars/trandoshan1/misc) in the sounds.cfg file.

Help is appreciated.

[.Hack//Sign]

It didn't work... could it be that my skin file I wish to convert already has a model_default.skin file in addition to the model_default_skinname.skin, or because I loaded a save game that is created automagically by 'The Ladder' mod?

[Ecknar]

I DID EVRYTHING!
and The Storm Tropper Wont WORK! why?

i dun know... its funny, nor did the Shadow Trooper, i also tried the Jan and it didnt work either WHAT DO I DO?!

if someone can help me out that would be great , or do it for me taht would be great.... Thanks

[Shu]

Ok so I finally got my model into the game successfully. Its the ZamVME model found here. But as shown in this screenshot this is what happens and I am clueless on how to fix it. Any help and ideas from the experts?

Btw: yes I did darken the skin for my likeing.

[Ryuiken]

we have tried everything you guys have said, and it still doesnt work. here is a description:

first we take the pk3 file we want and open it with winzip.

we extract the files to a temp folder.

we change the model_default.skin to kyle
head,models/players/emperor_clone/head.jpg
-to-
head,models/players/kyle/head.jpg

we change the skinname folder
from
/models/players/emporer_clone/
to
/models/players/kyle/

we zip the folder to kyle.zip and then rename it to kyle.pk3

we put it into the /base/

it still doesnt work. do we need a patch, or to delete anything in the pk3 file when we open it?

we have stayed up all night long trying to figure this out.

i have windows xp and we have made extensions visible and changeable.
thanks

[Ryuiken]

nevermind i got it working!!!!!

i zipped the models folder instead of the temp folder, thanks guys!!

i can go to sleep now!! been working all night long on this sucker!!!

[Spideyknight]

Has anyone got one of the Spider-man skins from the Spider Pack to work? I downloaded it at jk2files.com, but after following the guide I can't get it to work. I'm trying to replace Kyle with the new spider-man model.

Anybody see what's wrong? Or has anyone got it to work and can send it to me? Thanks.

[Cosmos Jack]

I was up all night trying to do this and seceded in getting everything other model made in game, but the ones I wanted ERRR.

I wanted to put "Corto Maltés's" Jango Fett model in for Kyle and the "Team Zam" for of course Jan to Zam... The game stalls when I replace Kyle with Jango, but I can you The Boba Fett model by the same guy and it runs fine. I have swapped the Jango with other Jangos in mods just fine.

I can get Zam in game fine except the head and the mask isn't shaded. I can get it were it looks shaded underneath the unshaded, I assume this has something to do with the fact the model has all the different styles on it and the surf file turns them off. What do I need to type to the surf file to get the veiled Zam shaded in the face and mask? I have imported it to 3DS Max and removed the unwanted bits but than I have to export it back I'm not havingtmuch luck fineding a exporter that works if there is one?

[monkey_chris]

... i wanted to get a masterchief model from MP to single player, as in the customise area in ja (select the head, torso and legs).

i did all the crap and it doesn't show up in the game...

...crappy ja disc...

That's great, well done for resurrecting a 3 year old thread!

[monkey_chris]

well screw the masterchief model anyway it doesn't work

i also tried it on the covelite models aswell but they give errors when you get chopped by a lightsaber.
