| Actaully IMO bloof buff is bad for gameplay and we would be better off without it. All it really does is devalue Security. | |

It is a odd process, since the files are archived in an odd fashion. The player skin textures are scatted across the vpk files, as are many of the other files. Not sure if the program is included with the UP, but there is a program that allows one to view the files, and find out exactly where things are(including getting a look at the textures themselves), called Packfile Explorer. If it isn't included with the UP, it should be on PV. Once you know were the textures are, then it's just extracting them with the Vpk Tool(included with the UP, and with any mod that used it as a base - it's in the Extras or Tools folder), and converting them to a tga for editing. The only problem once edited, is that they must be saved as a .dds file, then converted with the Vpk Tool once again. Also, I have a few edited skins myself, which might be of interest. | |

| No need to worry about that. I have a copy of the game with all archives extracted on my disc for modding purposes. So if I need a skin reworked, I can easily provide the targa. For one thing, I'd like to change the appearance of the Malks. Can also be based on the model of another clan, or the armors can be used in a differing order, or only one or two of the set used. And I want some of the citizens recolored, so there are less identical twins on the streets and in the clubs. For the future, if I can add new clans, I need individual skins for them, too. - | |

O.K. I'll send the malks first. If you want to try with something else, just tell me. In case somone else wants to try, just tell me which file you want to use, and your email address. (email address by pm only, or allow me to get it from your user profile) - | |
