Skinning Info >> Weapon skins



Where are the files/where do the skins go?

This information refers to changes to the graphics, not to the actual nature of the or properties of the weapons.

For PC:

The graphics can be found in the following folder:
c:\Program Files\BraveTree\ThinkTanks\game\data\shapes\tanks\
(if you installed it somewhere else, just alter the first part of the path accordingly).

For Mac (OSX):

CTRL-Click on the ThinkTanks application. Choose "Show Package Contents" from the pop-up menu, then, to find the files, go to the following folder:
Contents\Resources\game\data\shapes\tanks\

The files themselves

I strongly suggest that you create a new folder (called 'original') and copy al the above files into this folder. You can then revert back to them at any point (if you ever want or need to) by copying them back again from this new folder.
