So how does reskinning work? - Holy_Diver - 2010-09-13
Looking thru the DATA/ENEMY/ folder, I see TEXTURES.
In there there are .txr and .bmp files. Neither of which are necessary to .mdl files.
So I'm curious... when you re-skin a monster for example. Does it not create a new .mdl file? Or is there a new way to associate textures with .mdl files
If you can texture a .mdl file with a .txr file somehow, that would really open up some possibilities. The most basic of which is better colour depth.
Thoughts?

Alright take my minotaur for example his mdl data is e010.mdl
And a regular minotaur has the same e010.mdl data.
I create prf's for my newly reskinned monsters then hex edit them. To remember which prf to lookup i type the number in the enemy folder of the enemy at the end of my extracted texture file name.

Can you explain the entire process more or less and what files result / how they are connected?
Please
