Zalethon Posted December 31, 2006 Report Posted December 31, 2006 Would someone please send me a .bmp and .txt file as an example of a skin? I don't quite understand the text file that says how to make 'em..
»Maverick Posted December 31, 2006 Report Posted December 31, 2006 Via this topic I found this website that features a continuum skin tutorial: http://continuumskins.s5.com/tutorial.html . Beware of the annoying popus and ads though
Zalethon Posted December 31, 2006 Author Report Posted December 31, 2006 Cool. TY, this should help at any rate I'd still like to find, if possible the bmp and txt files for a simple skin though, that haven't been compiled into the skin itself yet..
»Maverick Posted December 31, 2006 Report Posted December 31, 2006 If you open a .skn file in your text editor the txt file will be at the bottom. (tip: use textpad) For example, this is the txt file for the Ceinwyn.skn (skin installed with a default continuum installation): MAIN = (0,0,639,459) PROFTEXT = (69,61,227,118);158x57 SHIPBOX = (30,290,270,400);240x110 INFOBOX = (30,290,270,400);240x110 ZONETEXT = (311,180,619,440);308x260 ZONEDOWN = (309,436,328,447) + (310,580);19x11 ZONEUP = (329,436,348,447) + (330,580);19x11 ;Ships SPECTATE = (240,160,270,190) + (240,475); Spectate 30x30 SHIP1 = (34,186,64,215) + (30,505); Warbird 52x60 SHIP2 = (94,186,124,215) + (90,505); Javelin 57x60 SHIP3 = (150,190,180,219) + (150,505); Spider 52x60 SHIP4 = (211,189,241,218) + (210,505); Leviathan 57x60 SHIP5 = (65,235,95,264) + (60,555); Terrier 52x60 SHIP6 = (125,235,155,264) + (120,555); Weasel 57x60 SHIP7 = (184,236,214,265) + (180,555); Lancaster 52x60 SHIP8 = (242,238,272,267) + (240,555); Shark 57x60 ;Buttons PROFILE = (339,79,440,100) + (339,499);101x21 ZONES = (339,109,440,130) + (339,529);101x21 TRACE = (499,79,600,100) + (499,499);101x21 PLAY = (419,49,520,70) + (419,469);101x21 QUIT = (499,109,600,130) + (499,529);101x21
Zalethon Posted January 1, 2007 Author Report Posted January 1, 2007 No way to get the image? That's cool though, useful. It helps. TY edit:It strikes me too, looking at the text at the end of one of the skins I downloaded, that there's a lot that's not explained in that text file that comes with the program, and in that tutorial... edit II:Oh. I had an old version.. K TY again.
»D1st0rt Posted January 1, 2007 Report Posted January 1, 2007 If I recall correctly, Ekted's star trek looking skin had a very good writeup in the config
»Maverick Posted January 1, 2007 Report Posted January 1, 2007 No way to get the image? Just open the .skn file in paint or any other imaging software - it will open as a bmp since it's basically a bmp and the txt configuration at the end (which will be ignored). I attached the Ceinwyn image to my previous post.
L.C. Posted January 2, 2007 Report Posted January 2, 2007 How do you animate parts of the skin and change them when you change your ship? ( See http://www.jackpotsvs.com/files/VIEd_v01.rar to see what I mean. ) I wouldn't mind taking the time to clone this one and update those ship animations with the ones with more frames.

Yupa Posted November 21, 2007 Report Posted November 21, 2007 How do you animate parts of the skin and change them when you change your ship? ( See http://www.jackpotsvs.com/files/VIEd_v01.rar to see what I mean. ) I wouldn't mind taking the time to clone this one and update those ship animations with the ones with more frames.IIRC, when I made that skin, I was forced to omit frames because the number of coords or whatever you can use in the configuration file had a cap. I think Mr Ekted said he might make it possible to have more in the future, but I haven't kept track.
