Hi all,

While making what is supposed to be just a private skin for the Skaarj Hybrid model, I ran into a problem that's never occurred before with other models I made a skin for. But since it's the first time I'm trying the Skaarj Hybrid model, perhaps there was something I overlooked. However, I just can't figure out what went wrong.

In UT Skinmaker v.2.4.1 I added all the textures (except for talk textures) and it looks great. Or at least, it looks the way it should look. I compile the project to utx/int, ready to shoot some screenshots for the talk textures. However, when I select the skin in the Player Setup, the Chest and Arms & Legs textures have all been replaced by Arena Warrior textures. As strange as it is, the correct faces do appear.

As far as I can see via UnrealEd, the *.utx file does contain the correct textures. And any change I make to the *.int file makes everything crash. I've uploaded both files as attachments to this post. If anyone can offer a solution to this, I'd be very grateful.

For the record, I've never skinned the Skaarj Hybrid from scratch... just done some edits to correct skin colors, or add all 4. I'm at work so I can't check the .utx from here but I did take a look at your .int and think I found your problem.

You've got blsk2 - blsk4, but nowhere do you have blsk1. I'm guessing the parts that you're seeing from the wrong skin is because you didn't enter a blsk1 section anywhere in the .int file.

Again, that's just a guess.

Thanks for your reply. It seems to work now.

Thing is, the Skinmaker program does not offer the option of adding a blsk1 texture file, so I had to import it manually via UnrealEd and then change the *.int file. I guess I should've been able to figure this out on my own, I feel dumb. Anyway, many thanks

Thanks! But I'm not unfamiliar with the Skinmaker program though, I've used it for quite some years already. Which is exactly why I find it strange that I ran into this little problem. But at least now I know how to solve it. Anyway, thanks for your reply regardless
