How do you change skins from original meshs

[Euphoric Beaver]

I coded an armour shard and made an edited health vial skin. But how do I make the armour shard use the skin?

 

[Kangus]

play with the multi skins for it in UnrealEd. They are under Display in the default props.

 

[Euphoric Beaver]

I don't want it so mappers have to edit it.

 

[Smoke39]

They wouldn't, unless they wanted to use skins other than what you set them to.

 

[Euphoric Beaver]

Oh, so what would I put in the default properties?

 

[Smoke39]

You put your new skins in there, but you gotta try to figure out which ones use which skins.

 

[Euphoric Beaver]

Sorry, I meant what code?

 

[Smoke39]

Are you using UEd? If you are, open the texture browser and select one of your skins. Then, in the default properties window, you can just select one of the multiskins slots, and press the use button. Then just do the same for all your other skins.

I've just been told to put this in with my code.
So I will try this tomorrow and report back.

#exec TEXTURE IMPORT NAME=texturename1 FILE=MODELS\texturefilename.PCX
GROUP=Skins LODSET=2

#exec MESHMAP SETTEXTURE MESHMAP=Vial NUM=0 TEXTURE=texturename
#exec MESHMAP SETTEXTURE MESHMAP=Vial NUM=1
TEXTURE=Botpack.ShaneFx.bluestuff
#exec MESHMAP SETTEXTURE MESHMAP=Vial NUM=2 TEXTURE=Botpack.ShaneFx

if you coding in ued, dont use execs

import the file, then set your class to use that as skin.
