Skinning Info >> Tank skins
For PC:
The graphics / tank skins 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\
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.
The shapes of the tanks and items are controlled by the dts files and are preconfigured 3D models. You cannot alter these.
The tanks, use the following files for their skins and these are the main four (or first three at least) graphics that the majority of people actually alter:
- Tank01.jpg for the light tank
- Tank02.jpg for the medium tank
- Tank03.jpg for the heavy tank
- Tank04.jpg for the ufo
The player-driven medium and heavy tanks both have brain jars, the light tank just has a brain. These files are:
- brain.jpg the brain that sits inside the brain jar
- Brainglass.jpg the mask for the glass area of the brain jar.
- BrainJar01.jpg the brain jar for the light tank
- BrainJar02.jpg the brain jar for the medium tank
- BrainJar03.jpg the brain jar for the heavy tank
- BrainJar04.jpg the brain jar for the ufo
The bots don't have brain jars, but instead have metal heads depending on their skill level:
- bot01.jpg for the bronze bot heads (dull bots)
- bot02.jpg for the silver bots heads (smart bots)
- bot03.jpg for the gold bots heads (expert bots)
