[TUTORIAL] Creating new skins for MM8BDM

[TheBladeRoden]

[MagnetMan497]

I use paint.net. My dude is screwed because of his black outline.

The backrpund istransparent it just screw it up. What shouod I do?

[Max]

Yeah they do, my custom skins line up with the official ones

Your skins line up with the official ones but they still aren't ON the line but UNDER the line.

That's why I said keep the original zoom level, that way it looks like it's on the line.

Unless you have crappy eyes zooming isn't necessary.

Sorry but I changed it into a .pk3 file.I put it in the skins folder.
It doesn't want to work for some reason?
Nothing pops up though?

Can some one help me?

[Lio]

Can you PM me the file? I'll work it out for you if you want.

We can't help you just based on "it just screwed up" because we can't see what the problem is.  Post screenshots and maybe we can help you.

[MagnetMan497]

ok.

... you realize that the *background* should be bright green (well, i guess it could be just about any color, since you're going to be making it transparent for the individual frames, but on the spritesheet it doesn't matter; however, all the ones I see are bright green), right?  Like, I mean, if it's BLACK, of course it's gonna get rid of the outline around your sprites.  You need it to be, like, any color OTHER than black.

[MagnetMan497]

Transparency turns it black.

[Max]

Draw around the outline in green then

It worked! Muchos Gracias, YD!

Just so you know, I painstakingly made sure the "black" I used for my first skin was 5,5,5 as explained in Mike's post, only to find out 0,0,0 is in fact what it needs to be.  I dunno if this has been changed since or what, but that might need to be edited, unless there's some crazy weird explanation as to why my skin showed black outlines with Roboenza "equipped" when the black was 5,5,5 and red (as it should be) now that it's 0,0,0.

Well I have problems making it work.I did everything it said. I put a Sprites folder in it.I put SKININFO in it.turned it into a pk3 file. I put in the skin folder.I start up the game but it doesn't show up No warnings show up or problems?

Sorry for this but can some one help me?!
I wanted to do this one my own.

[Lio]

Eh yeah, I already pm'd you the correct file that actually works on the skin folder. Just work on that pk3 instead of asking the same thing over and over.
