Vista skinning problem :S
« on: October 01, 2008, 08:42:15 AM »
Hey, im having trouble with some Targa files needing allowance to be edited. I've figured out how to allow them but is there any way i can do it with several files instead of one at a time? Its a big pain when im trying to skin a mesh like Tommyboy's Im_mk21_tf(ironman) with all its several parts.

thanks :)

either you have UAC on or you need to highlight every TGA and collectively turn off the read only option.

AH! I'm having the weirdest issue with copy skins in charactertool, it creates a new skin but I have no clue where the skin is because it isn't in the skins folder of the mesh.

   I want to say that there is an extra file added to where your hero files are kept. But I could be wrong. I remember having to run a search to find where the copied skin folder ended up, but that was awhile ago. I wish I could help out a little more, but I'm not on my pc right now.

Were you copying a built-in skin or a custom skin? What's your setup for ctool2? The default setup? I just tested it on a custom and a built in and both skins were found in the correct mesh folder in: Freedom Force vs The 3rd Reich\Custom\Art\library\characters\[mesh folder]

It is all standard and I was copying a custom character.
