9. Saving the file

If you downloaded the file that I told you to get at the beggining of this tutorial the next part is easy. If you didn't get the file....you fool!!!!

anyways... now that you have the alpha channel the way you like select "save as.." from the file menu. Select the

Tribes2\GameData\base\textures\skins directory and name the skin with the .png exention. The following window will pop up

Make sure that None and None are selected and save the file.

Go into Tribes 2 make sure you have your environmental mapping enabled and away you go..

Also note that you have to have a whole set of skins before you can see them in tribes2. So, for example I have the following..

Doctor.hmale.png
Doctor.mmale.png
Doctor.lmale.png
Doctor.mfemale.png
Doctor.lfemale.png

In one of the other tutorials i'll cover the joys of the .vl2 file
