Public {MHM} Skin

[-SuPreMe-]

lol nice skin pots looks funny, how do u make skins like wat file format dimensions etc any links for a guide or anything id like to try making a skin

[*POTS*]

Well, I simply use UnrealED to export PCX files from already existing skins and/or textures, then I open them with MS-PhotoEditor, make a screenshot, copy and paste the screenshot in MS-Paint and save in 24 bit BMP format. Then I make some editing work and finally import the whole stuff with UnrealED. Only problem there's a noticeable loss of quality (I guess it's the Bitmap format) but in this way you don't need to install 3rd party softwares.
As regards making INT files, the best way is to open an already existing skin file with Notepad and take a look at the code, it's not hard to figure out how it works.

P.S. I know there's a tool named UT Skin Maker somewhere in the Web but I don't care, you can Google-search for it if you're interested.

P.S. #2 Thanks for all positive comments I'm going to add a Tar skin for the "no-team" and a Water skin for the blue team.

= Update =

Added:
- blank/no-team support (tar skin)
- blue team support (water skin)
- UT logo on the kit-bag
- more faces
- talk textures (those avatars that pop-up when you use the chat!)
- ReadMe file (!)

For those of you guys that wants to check out the skin you can download it here:

Hey, you are like me - I generally use what I already have to do things most people do by buying special software! LOL

One thing - MS-PhotoEditor sometimes reduces the quality - it is probably not the paint program.
Instead of taking a screen shot - try just saving it as a bitmap?

I have SkinMaker also, but I haven't done much with it over the years.
People I know on the web into UT have used it with good results though.

Ahh yes.. Making skins.. I just loved that. My favorite program for making them is "Paint shop photo x2" This is one of my creations, I named her "Kayako" (Child of the dark flame) Alias "Girlycard"

Hook you're a genius! I can directly export textures in BMP format by saving them as "All Files" and adding the .BMP extension. Now I wanna see if quality is retained.

Another important thing: I do usually disable the "Generate Mipmaps" option cause I don't find it useful for skins (e.g. loss of clearness).

Wow this is a whole new model not a simple skin. Very good Japanese anime girl Vatcilli

[Vatcilli]

Not my model, I merely edited her to make her look more evil.
I would not dare claiming other people's work as mine.

Roger that. It's still a good editing job.

[Vatcilli]

Thanks, Been using her as my avatar for a while now..
My girlfriend also plays using her overly gentle Sister "Sayuri" (Little lilly) Alias "Seras"

Ahh,

I miss that Arumi skin.
I used to play as that skin for a long time.
So did a whole lot of other people on RoseBum server.
HA HA , Those were fun times.

I miss team play so much.

[*POTS*]

What about this as a female team-skin?

But BIG credits must go to
1) RoidAKT and his Anonymous skin for the shirt
2) Blam! and his Trinity skin for the pants

Of course this skin would be only for team purposes and not distributed outside this community.

[Hermskii]

Another Great skin. Well done.

[K]

I agree. But can we get a female version like the other one.
"grey/black w/ blood all over and MHM logo."

It would be cool to have a Team skin male and female that look alike.
If we are a team we should look together!

[MEAT]

I couldn't find my answer in this thread but I have a couple questions and possible a dumb comment or two.
I'm particularly good at the dumb comment part...lol
First off team skins with names look cool...if in fact you play as a team and I know you guys will--dumb comment.
But the team skins you guys are talking about...are they only going to be used or worn when playing MHM?
It's not something you'll use on other servers, for example my server or CG?
If that is the case why not choose something a little more colorful or fun.
It's not like the monsters care what you look like, but the skins I've seen so far look generic and ordinary.
But don't get me wrong, if you guys are wanting a respectable/professional looking skin you're on the right track.
Anyway, I'll be over at MRS if you want to beat me up or something.



Footnote:
Unless you guys are planning on playing on different servers in a team format disregard this post...lol

I wold really like to have a team and compete.
But so far i have only been able to get people to play as a team once.
This was a while ago when we played long cooridoor2006.
Since then everyone man for themselves.
I kind of figure i am pushing to hard for team play so i stopped.

But as far as the skins go. I like the dusty battle worn look. I like blood all over them so it looks authentic. The first male commando someone made looks perfect. If we can get a female version we are done i think. But i think i already said this so im done now. lol
