To create a custom texture for your robot and import it into the game, follow the instructions below:

Create the chassis of your robot. Without the chassis it will be impossible to do the next step.

Once the chassis is created you can proceed to the Paint Shop section of the Robot Workshop.

In the lower left hand corner there are two buttons that are used for exporting and importing custom textures.

Click on the Export Paint Template. You will then be given two choices:

By default the exporter will simply export a texture showing the texture areas used for the current chassis design. Enter a name and the file will be saved in the Infogrames\Robot Arena 2\Custom Textures\ folder.

The other option is to create the base texture within Robot Arena 2 using all of the Paint Shop tools, and then exporting this texture for additional enhancements.

In the exporter dialogue box there is an option to "Export the current chassis texture instead of a template". By checking this option it will export out the texture as a bmp and put it in the following folder: Infogrames\Robot Arena 2\Custom Textures\ folder.

Now that you have either a template or a chassis texture exported. Create or modify the texture in your favorite image editing software.

Note: You can NOT alter the size of the texture to be bigger or smaller. Doing so will create an invalid texture and cause problems for the game.

Once you are happy with the texture, save the image. If you moved the image to another folder for editing purposes then copy the final bmp to this folder: Infogrames\Robot Arena 2\Custom Textures\

Now that you have the texture created, we can now import the texture back into the game using the Import Custom Paint button.

Select the custom bitmap and click ok. Your chassis will now have the custom texture applied to it.

:-D

This is a relevant question.. still dunno how after a few weeks... how do you make a 512x512 skin? It can't JUST be making the import skin file larger.
