[TUTORIAL] Creating new skins for MM8BDM

[Hallan Parva]

Is it possible to change the dialogue of pre-included skins with data files in the Skins folder?

As in, if I had a file in the Skins folder that dictated what CutMan said in a match, would it overwrite the in-game CutMan's speech?

If you set up your own bot you can have as many chat files as you like. Check out the BOTINFO lump to get an example of how it's done.

slight problem while making my brawlman skin, i have every rotation done correctly. however it says i dont and idk why...

It says sprite skin frame C is missing rotations.....and again its not....

EDIT: found the problem.

Be sure to try out different weapons in the mirror. If your colors don't change when cycling through weapons, it means the palette is wrong. DOH! Unfortunately this means you have to fix it and extract the sprites from the sheet again, which is a pain! (trust me, I've done it a few times)

How do I change weapons in the mirror room?

console, give all, scroll through weaponry.

So we can make anyone we want right? Is it okay if we make a cameo character or something? (ex. Phoenix Wright, Arthur, Frank West etc.)

[Zero-EXE]

I wouldn't see why not! The things about custom skins is, like in games such as TF2, they're meant to maximize the personal enjoyment of the game of the player. If you want to see Phoenix Wright in 8BDM, there's nothing stopping you!

[brotoad]

yeah, there are no rules as to what skin you want to make! if you can make the sprites then you can make the skin!

I made a skin of a Triangular Prism on top of a Cylinder on top of a Rectangular Prism. I think you're aloud to make Phoenix Wright.

I want that skin...

Alright, I suck at this.

I followed the commands up until the "Set Offsets" bit...

When I did that, Sheep Man was down and to the right of the +
that's not all, he had a massive white box around him (I set the transparency in GIMP seconds before).

How fixed?

[Kackebango]

Use another programm. I use Paint.net.

[Max]

It's all good. Just had to reset the transparencies for some reason.

MEGAEDIT:

I've followed every single command but I ended up with a .zip rather than a .pk3... I don't want to rename it in case it borks and I don't want to extract it in case that's the wrong thing to do...

Newb skin question. How fixed?

[Max]

I'm bumping this because I need that question answered and I know nobody will check this thread unless there's a new post

Did you try either: Renaming the .zip to .pk3 or using "Save as"?
