i'm having problems, cos there are three different camoflages for different enviroments. how do i change them between each other? my goal is to get the rebel rifleman to wear a balaclava, but it aint showing up, cos i don't know what of these three he uses as the default camouflage
all_inf_soldierdesert, all_inf_soldierurban or all_inf_soldierjungle?
help would be greatly appreciated.

help, anyone?

"all_inf_rifleman_desert"
"all_inf_rifleman_fleet"
"all_inf_rifleman_jungle"
"all_inf_rifleman_snow"
"all_inf_rifleman_urban"
there's the right way to write them, glad to be of service!

well, you could try try it out yourself, for example, make a backup of all 3 somewhere else, then put green all over one skin, red on another, and blue on the last, then whichever shows up is it
i think the default one is jungle, but i'm not positive.

sooo... should i edit the tga and then rename it?

Having looked at contents of all_inf_soldier.msh I think you need to edit the all_inf_soldierjungle.tga.

If he's not showing up the make sure you're calling the reskinnrd unit in mission lua i.e. :
ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\all.lvl", "all_inf_rifleman")
and that he's called in the SetupTeams section of your mission lua as well.
obviously you'll need to amend it to suit yous specific needs but I think that should work.

Carbine' don't forget that the .msh files ONLY calls for that certain .tga which it was exported 'with'.

so if you rename a .tga from all_inf_rifleman.tga into all_inf_fisherboy.tga it'll show up without texture.
the .tga is bound to the .msh - so you will have to overwrite all_inf_rifleman.tga with his 'new' texture.

and if you rename the .msh to all_inf_fisherboy.msh, it'll still use all_inf_rifleman.tga

sooo... should i edit the tga and then rename it?

To make it clear...yes, you edit the tga. NO! You do not remane it. It'll just be that much easier for you.

yep, basically I checked the msh to see which which .tga was "bound" or being called by it.

LOL how to overcomplicate a simple reskinning

NOTE - You can edit the msh using ultra edit or something to call a different tga, however if you change the name of the tga you want to associate with it then you must keep it the same number of characters otherwise it'll bugger everything up... a little tip I got from SatV Still much easier to keep everything the same and just change the appropriate image.

ya, i just noticed that the problem was that i munged the common too, ven tho it was already munged the skins work now.. thanks!

DARN! i edited the jungle camo once and it worked. but then i edited it again and deleted the former one. now the former wich i already have erased from my computer still shows up, even tho i munged again

oh i thought you were talking about lua con never mind.
