Re: TUTORIAL: How to make your own skin mods

Post by 10Have »

Hi there!

First of all I'd like to complement all the mod makers for doing an excellent job on the IGAU skins/dlc packs.

Second, I have been working on a TDKR Bane skin. I followed every step from the tutorial, but can't get the run.batch to work. I've updated Java and Java environment and still no luck.

Any help would be appreciated ^^

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I'd like to draw symbols & other things on the characters' costumes, but I have no idea where on the image file I need to draw. I've tried randomly coloring sections, but I still haven't been able to see any changes in the costume's area for most of the body/costume parts.

Also, what exactly are the transparent parts of the .dds image (the parts with black and grey/white little squares everywhere)? Am I supposed to color those areas too? When I try to color one of these areas, it ends up coloring all transparent areas (instead of just the one I tried coloring). BTW, I use the paint bucket to color an area and then I use the pencil to get rid of any missed spots.
Paint...bucket?

Enjoy. Ask photoshop questions if you want tips on stuff.
Thanks for all the useful tips, I really appreciate it. I'm using Gimp 2 for my mods (since it's a free software). I'll check Gimps and see if it has similar tools.

Thanks.

Try running it as admin. Or update your .net framework. I know it takes a lot of work but your doing your computer a favor by updating those :)

Post a screen of the error or a more detailed explanation than just it won't work. I hope you got it working by the time you read my reply though! :)

Can you post the steps on how you got it to work? so it can help others who have the same problem like you did.

depends on the skin. Check all the dds files. You'll know if you see the hair texture. It may even be included on the joker_diff file itself. If you really can't find it you may have to edit it using the mkkecolorpicker

I still can't run the .bat file, seemed to have tried every trick in the book but no luck. How did the other person get it working exactly?

you could run it manually. Open cmd then redirect it to the umodel folder and just to the commands inside the .bat file.

To see the commands inside the bat file, just open it in notepad.
