Where to put skins

That dident make any sense what I read on that page

Ok tank you got o C:/programfiles/shockwave/thinktanks and unistall it

Didn't make any sense?! It's really hard to do that.

Lemme tell you how it works.

The "skin" is rather a paint job for the tank,with out a skin,a tank would be white. The skin you have currently is the default.

Find the original skin file in the ThinkTanks files,and save over it with a new skin.

The skin is called tank01.jpg

I still dont get it

Go to My computer----->C: Drive-------->Program files------->BraveTree or Shockwave--------->ThinkTanks--------->Game------->Data--------->Shapes---------->Tanks---------->then just put our skin in there and replace the original.

How do I put my skin in there and how do I replace the original?

OMG is all I can say.

Racer if you dont got anything to help stay out of this

Just read the PTT tutorial on how to do this. I really have no other help for you since I am no good at describing things. Sorry.

PS: Proper grammer would be "if you don't have anything to help, please stay out." ;)

Note:Where the heck is the PTT tutorial!?!?!?

@tank o boom

I think you are jerking everyone around.

I see this name was registered only 2 weeks ago, and you've posted 81 times.

Sheesh, I don't think I've posted more then 20 in a year...

Seriously sawbones im totaly messed up about tank skins

Hey tanko...I think you should just leave the skin the way it is for now. Trust me

Im totaly bored with the default skin for my tank. :'(

I guess I could try to explain, but first, what is your age and how much do you know about computers? I need to know this so I can explain it in language you can understand.

Age:I can say its under 15, Computer knowledge:I know 90.99 % about them

Ok, first double-click on "My Computer". Then choose "C", then "program files", then "BraveTree", then "ThinkTanks", then "Game", then "Data", then "Shapes", then "Tanks".
This is the folder that the skins are stored.
there is a file called "tank01.jpg"...this is the skin for the light tank.
You will be replacing this file when you find a skin you want to use for the light tank.
1st you will want to re-name "tank01.jpg" to something else like "oldtank01.jpg"
you can re-name this file by right-clicking on the file and choosing "rename".
Once you have done this, you can then choose your new skin.
If your new skin is already named "tank01.jpg" (as most are) then you can just copy and paste it to your "...data/shapes/tanks" folder. (this is the same folder you have already been working in)
If it needs to be renamed first then right-click on it and choose "rename" like you did to rename your original skin.
There! You should now be able to start ThinkTanks and enjoy your new skin.
PLease tell me you understand these instructions and you got it to work.

Kind of
