I like it, excepted the ice pick and iron spike.

I have a theory for the extenders as the have only one color (plain black and plain red) each, I think the color's in the GMF, in hexadecimal.

It must be the same thing for the tribar.

[Sage]

ya i just realized that. i actually really like the iron spike.
look at this HS:


and this ice pick is better:


im gonna have the links on my first post in a bit, so you don't have to PM if you want one.

[Naryar]

I like this ice pick more, but the HS looks like a rainbow *ahem*

I think I'll skin too, just to make this GMF decompiler to work.

[Sage]

i remember a robot luigica once made called mr. happy smily face that had a skin saying "Im not gay i swear!"

i posted all the links on the first post.

Very good Sage.
Is it possible to change the skin of the round extenders in a way to make the side attach points visible, or just to have another colour for the face where the points are? It would be easier then, to turn them to the desired position.

[Flying_Chao]

What happens if you use a skinned component online?

[Sage]

you see the skin, but your opponent doesn't.  it makes no difference at all.
as for cooker, i heard goose did it once, but i would need the know-how, which i dont have.

[Cooker]

I new it must be complicated, because it's not the first time I asked sombody to do it.
But sinnce I have newer tried to reskin components, I don't know the basics for that.

[Naryar]

I would develop FC's good question.

What does it do to use a skinned arena online? Is that the same as the components?

skins don't matter at all online. i have a skinned combat arena i won for winning the tag team challenge tourney. works fine.

Cooker, I put a little notch or mark on the skin where the AP is (experiment some), then when you rotate the extender, it is much easier to track... (save an original back-up skin).

Sage, I really like your cool skins.  I had a couple new components that I could use some help skinning, if you've time.  One could be to give the USS Enterprise, ACAMS made for me, a little more detail.  Let me know(PM or whatever).

[infiniteinertia]

sage you do skin components alright. but bots?

and that other Iron spike skin you made was better.

[Gigafrost]

Iron Spike-Taste the Rainbow

I also agree with II, the old one looked more um... neat? Nice skins though.

[Sage]

i found some old skins for the iron spike.  i like the first one best, but both are cool.





ill post the link to em both ASAP.

P.S. anyone know how i can have a list of skins in-game, like how you select extender lengths or baseplate anchor angles?

I dont know, but i once made a cheat Ironpike wich had its own fodler, but it still used the same named skin as the origional one, but i skinned it different. Then the game had the spike change skins at random times for both spikes, like sometimes the skin was that of the cheat spike on both and vice versa, but it only changed as i started up the game.

Yea Sage, that should be do-able.  PM me and I'll explain.  I really like the spike skins.  The one looks like it was heat-treated or something....

SSG:  That's because the exe fortunately/unfortunately looks for a skin-name only to the depth of the 'Components' directory, and not to the specific component's folder "darkspike".  Thus it's a matter of chance which one it finds first.  It's the same in the "Arenas" directory.  If you go into the gmf and change its name to something not used, you'll have no problems.

[somestrangeguy]

Thanks for the info Mad, I figured that it would be something like that.

[Sage]

hey mad did you ever get my PM's?

[Madiaba]

Yea, just been real busy, Sage. I'll get with you ASAP.  

Thanks.
