[TUTORIAL] Creating new skins for MM8BDM

[Mister Gessert]

Okay I have another problem.
When I tried to implement custom sounds through looking at other skins for examples, the whole game just flat-out crashes when I try to load it.
This is the skin I'm trying to make.

Try changing the sound names to something shorter and/or converting them to another format. I had this issue some time back and it just fixed itself when I changed the conflicting sound names for some reason.

Thanks, it worked.

Is it possible to make a skin force the game's music to play something else, but ONLY when that skin's being used?

[Korby]

Do you mean have the game switch songs when you select a skin, or have one song be different if you have a skin loaded?

This is what I meant.

You can't. You could add a music file to the skin replacing an already existing track, but it would play regardless of the skin being used.

You'd need to create a custom class for the skin or something similar with a few ACS scripts.

Aw darn!

Oh well....

Hey Cutmanmike, how about use this one instead of the one you already have. With this one people can make v3a megaman edits, Copy robot made the new megaman skin so i made that say that.

How would one make translucency in MS Paint? Or can you?

i downloaded a custom skin and placed it on my skin file but i cant select it at player setup what i did wrong?

[Tfp BreakDown]

skin file? Do you mean your skins folder? If so than is it in the folder? Also where did you get the skin? Sometimes the skin won't save as a .pk3 file and instead will save as a .zip file. If that has happend than take a look at this.
