What texture for what? You need to either edit/replace one texture or build a model or a map part to put a new texture on.

Ok big ask that. It's possible but you need one hell of a lot of time to make NEW animations. See this. On the other hand you can script it into a cutscene by using the existing animations.

Could u be more specific on what u want as an end product as it isn't as easy as doing x and it applies to all cases?

Well I'm doing a Fett customization and I want to make an extra Jango Fett with a cape the thing is that the texture for the cape isn't right colour. So I need to reskin the Boba Fett's cape to blue so it fits Jango.

Ok i get what u wanna do.
First you need to copy the boba fett .skin file and name it to another name. The file is in the same directory as the model and texture files.

Open the new .skin file and change the cape texture to the texture you want (this is your new texture file).

Create a texture with this name save as tga (I would). You could proberably do with ModView as this allows you to view the glm models without starting the game.

This skins the new texture to your model's cape.
