I was wondering...is it possible to change the Single Player skin? Someone help...i'm new here..and just want some honest help, from you modding gurus out there!

Hi General,
the only File you have to edit is the npcs.cfg file at the assets0.pk3 archiv.
You can open it wit Winzip or Power Archiver.

Have Fun and...

Alright.....I can change people in cut scenes, and only change part of the SP character. Editing npcs isn't working for my SP character....had to go into model folders and overwrite. The end product is the skin I want....but he doesn't hold weapons correctly..(they look l ike they're comming from his arse...) Help!

i get the same problem.
i overwrite the origional kyle skin and the new skin i get is all messed up.
the guns face backwards and he shoots forwards.

can someone help me?

That gun problem is an annoying NPC problem (though I haven't figured out what causes it) To change player skins - Kyle, jan, tavion, etc - its less hasle to just overwrite that skin. NPCs can be a nightmare to get right.

You can't put a different skin on a model. The skin goes on the model it was created for. Download a mod that replaces Kyle and adds new npcs to see how it's done.

Hmm? Merc, it works. NPCs are not necessary to switch skins or even models for SP. Sure you can add New NPCs that you can spawn, and it allows you to change the color of Kyle's saber in cutscenes - but not to change the skin.

When you change Kyle as the main character you are "tricking" the game into thinking it's loading the model and skin designed for Kyle. If you wanted to play as Luke you would use Luke's model and skin inside kyle's model folder.

would this work:
i download a skin off the net, ie darth vader.
i edit npcs.cfg and add vader to the list.
and in the kyle section where it says:
"model kyle"
i change it to:
"model vader"

hypothetically, this would tell JO to look into the vader foler under models/players/vader right?

id try it myself cept that i only have access to JO once a week or less than that.
myabe someone could write a nice detalied FAQ on how to change the sp skin. id do it myself if i knew how to do it the right way.
