The skins on phantom's models.....

How do I open them?

unpallatize them
pbmp> bmp

Instructions Hilikus :(
Do I use TribesTools?

tribes tools pbmp>bmp

Tried that before, no workie.

same for me, in tt it says its not a vaild pheonix bitmap
:/

but all the skins are the same as in t2, so if u get a t2 skin , pall it and pbmp it, it shud work

That's the problem, i dl a t2 skin... and i unzip the files and all i get is the alpha layer. (BTW I don't play tribes 2 so i can't get the defaults)

T2 SKINS?

ever heard of adobe photoshop or fireworks??


t2 pals are completely different then t1's

hrmm, is this in ps7, cuz if so u have to download a png fix

in psp7 i havent had any probs

I don't understand what you just said, but here are a few things that might help :

1- You have the original T2 skin and want to convert it for use in T1 ?

i) Unzip the .vl2, and find the weapon_*.png, where * is the name of the weapon;
ii) Open the .png file in Paintshop Pro for best results, you can try opening them up with Photoshop.. they work fine for me. But some people have the Alpha layer problem, where they see a white layer.. There is a way to fix that somewhere on Toejam's site : www.toejamsplace.com (http://www.toejamsplace.com);
iii) Edit all you want, then load a palette. In PSP : shift + o. In PS : Image > Mode > Indexed Color > Custom;
iii) Save as a 8 bit .bmp;
iiii) Run TribesTools, Makeskin+ it and put the file in base/skins folder replacing the old one.

2- You have problems PBMP>BMP'ing some .bmp's ? I have read before, vol'ing the .bmp, then unvol'ing it will fix that problem.. You could try that..

Hrm.. that should cover it ;)
