I'm haveing trouble with a custom skin using the reborn model, i've followed the directions ChangKahn[RAVEN] gave over at JKii.net but my skin still does not show up in the charecter selection screen: here is what my Model_Default.skin file looks like:

i've tried switching the file extensions from .tga to .jpg in both the model_default_.skin file and the files themselves with no luck.

I also thought it might be something i did to the icon_default.jpg (the charecters icon in the selection screen)

but no matter what i do my skin will not show up in the charecter selection menu.

any help or suggestions?

also if you need more info just ask

Uhmm... I'm not a pro at this, but try moving all of your files to models/players/reborn and update your skin file to reflect that. The reason being is that's where the model is located. then rename your skin file to model_default_sycdan.skin or whatever and rename your icon file to icon_default_sycdan.jpg if you haven't already. You should have ALL of your files in models/players/reborn

Hope this helps... But I might be wrong...

No i've extracted the model itself, so i don't have to replace the default reborn's skins. The Pk3 looks like this models/player/sycdan i've also renamed the reborn model to Default_model_sycdan.whatever the extension is because of directions ChangKahn[RAVEN] gave.

Perhaps someone might link me to a good Q3A/JO skin tutorial.

You should try downloading other skins and just follow their example.

::edit::
I've noticed that other skins have a animsounds.cfg and a sounds.cfg. You should try getting those from the origional reborn skin.

maybe it's just a typing error, but the path has to be models\playerS\bla. Then make sure you put your .pk3 in JO\GameData\bla, where bla is any name you want. You can then load your model in the Modlist of JO.
