Ok, is there a way to put a skin in a mod so that evry1 has the same skin and u can c it on their tanks as well as ur own?

Of course there is... First find the skin that you want and the.dts file that goes with it. Copy them into a new folder in shapes (for example game/data/shapes/snowmod/) MAKE SURE YOU COPY THE DTS FILE AND THE JPG SKIN. Then, find tankdb.cs (in game/server/scripts/tankdb.cs) and open it. Find the correct tank datablock, and change the shapefile to the location of the.dts file in the folder you just made.

Hope this helps.

Thanx!

I promise the xmas mod will rock!

How wuld I do that for the defauly projectile?

Now that I did that how do o get it into my mod?

I did that, but wen I run my mod, im in a white tank, no skins at all, wuts the dealio?

OK..just do this

Make your own folder and name it whatever you want.
Put it in the missions folder (game/data/missions)

Now put the files Tank01 and tank01.dts in that folder,
but make sure they are copies, not the actual ones.

Then copy this down after the last line in your missions folder:

LightTank.shapeFile = "game/data/missions/ *NAME of folder name!* /tank01.dts";
LightTank.brainShapeFile = "game/data/shapes/tanks/brainjar01.dts";

Got it?
Clear enough?

Are those the tank skins?

Yes, just do exactly what I said with the other tanks also if you have skins for them too.
and change the "LightTank.shapeFile = "game/data/missions/*NAME of folder name!*/tank01.dts";
to "*type of tank* Tank.shapeFile = "game/data/missions/*NAME of folder name!*/tank0 _ .dts";

Oo thx dude!

Also if u got a terrain from the skin library from here how wuld u put it in a mod?
