Skinning help.

[Sepherchorde]

Well, just joined the site not even 15 minutes ago, and here are my main reasons 1. I need a little help figuring out the glow effecr for skins and 2. When I get the skin to glow properly I want a place to share it

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We do have a tutorial in the FAQs on that.

http://www.bwfiles.com/faqs/index.php?action=file&id=143

If you wish to share a skin, you can submit it to our downloads now that you've registered. A link can be found in the top info box when in the Downloads area.

Alright, I have already checked it out but I'll give it a go again, maybe I was just tired. lol

I read the tutorial, but I think that the files its telling me to alter might be off.... it just doesn't seem right to me, and the image that is supposed to be the reflective quality of the skin looks like its actually a heightmap...

 

[Kays]

Try it anyways. It looks like the right file to be edited. From another FAQ

-t_{creaturename}_{alignment}_d.DDS -- This is the main texture.
-t_{creaturename}_{alignment}_s.DDS -- This is a height map.
-t_{creaturename}_{alignment}_b.DDS -- This is the reflective texture.

I'll check it out later again, and I actually finished a set of textures, not alone (My girlfriend made the evil skin) but yeah, I'm going to upload it now. No nifty shiny stuff and I messed up the eyes somewhere along the way so they are just black >.<.

I is willing to fix eyeballz for you!

Oh, and, get Paint.NET, it works wonders for DDS files!

 

[Sepherchorde]

Hey that would be awesome of you, and thanks for pointing me that way. If you do want to fix the eyes the files are in the DL section, go ahead and fix them and upload them again with the v2 tag and add yourself into the credits section of the readme

which skins again?.. I'm quite blunt ^^ You mean the celestial / fire thingies right?

I'll be sure to find an eye colour that's suitable
