Making New Custom Skins

[ArturoVanier]

Does anyone on here know how to make custom skins? I must me coding it wrong but ive been trying for the last 4 hours to do a simple skin mod for multiplayer and I'm getting nowhere. If anyone knows how to do this properly i'd definately apreciate the help. at this point i'm just so flustered

quick tips from what i remember 6 years ago when i tried making my own skin for jedi academy:

you gotta download pakscape or something like that (or a program that can open .pk3 files), then open the assets.pk3 files (assets0 1 2 3 - you gotta look for the model you want to start reskinning, then extract those files) in Steam\SteamApps\common\Jedi Academy\GameData\base and extract the folder for that model, then you open the texture files with a painting app
when you're done, save it as .pk3 but remember to change the model name (you might have to open some text file inside the model folder and replace for example, if you picked model "reborn", replace all the "reborn" words with your model name "mymodel") and go on a server and type /model "mymodel"

i havent watched these, but they might help:

if you want to make your own model from scratch, you'll have to create your own model shape (as in using blender, 3dsmax, maya etc)
