I need someone good at skinning

hi. i need an expert at skinning to answer a few questions for me involving cloning units.

im good at skinning can i help you?

ok thx um ok...when i clone a unit (ex: raptor and deino) how can i change the skin of one unit without changing the other? U know, for a male/female effect

well theres two ways, one clone the model of the raptor like i did and change its name to deino , or put one skin Exmaple male Deinonychus skin in flamingcliffs tml and the female in Flamingcliffs16 tml, how ever the second method only lets you have one of the skins at a time while the model need to be in a new island for it to take effect, hope i helped
edit: i for got to tell you, if you clone the models you must clone the units as well, the ones that read Raptor.ini,Raptor and Raptor.nwt, and rename them deino then open raptor.ini and change animation{model= Raptor} to animation{model=deino}

i think you helped me but i couldnt really understand wat u were sayin so wait what im tryin to do here is get two skins of the same dinosaur on the same game. so from wat i understant in order to do that i must clone the one dino to make two identical dinos, then change ONE of their skins, then go into the Eng.ini or whatever its called and rename it. i need help in the skinning part of the plan.

well you got the basic idea, but its a bit more than that but you got most of it, i can give you the models, i would help skining but first id have to see what you want to base them off then see if i can make it

well for starters how about a male raptor and a female raptor using the skins from JPL's film canon mod pack

No no thats stealing

Stealing?

yeah,if your using someone else's work and editing it for yourself and calling it yours, unless you ask the creator for permision to use his skins, then its stealing and it can get you and no one want to get banned

true true but how can we get around that? cant we just give credit to JPL?

well even if you do give credit you still need permission, its mandatory,no getting around it, i think the creator is around here somewhere, i think its raptor rules, maybe its not him but its worth a shot asking him

hey big al, i can create 2 raptors and you can see the raptors inGame with different skins in the same time, just make your skins and PM me it

RSR how do you do that, do you copy the models like i did?

no, i clone the .INI files of the dino and i replace the deadSkin with living one, then in the cloned ini i put after Model=dino;......Skin=2; then i put his name in FslHunt.ini etc....

but dont you need high terrain quality for that to work ?

uh, i dont know, no i think

check your setup file, if you have reflective water then you need to have high terrain quality....o.O man i sure have learned alot in only a few weeks, heck i even learned how to MST on my first try...back to the topic, i think your way involves high terrain quality or changing the "bit" for 16 for one skin and 32 for the other
