Hello,

I am failry new to skinning/texturing in Arma/OFP although I have done it in many other games.

I have retextured the us troops for Arma already but am having difficulties getting them to work. I understand the proper tools haven't been released yet so I am using a hex editor to edit the paths of the textures.

I did find the paths using UltraEdit (hex editor) and I did change them to the correct paths but yet I get an 'Out of Memory' error everytime I try to use them.

I managed to get my skins working but only by just replacing the textures from somebody elses units and then re-PBO'ing the files but as soon as I go to edit the paths with a hex editor (I have tried many different editors) it stops working like if it corrupts the file or something.

Anyone who knows how to skin please help me so I can help and give back to this wonderful community.

You can also send me an email if you'd like at: speirs506@gmail.com



Thank you dance.gif

What kind of format are the textures? What aspect ratio? Did you check if the paths you are trying to use are correct? (I'm assuming you did...)

Might not be important, but are you sure the paths are the same length as the origanal?

Surely lenght path is not the same.
check that if the original p3d got a line of 14 characters (i.e. \my_add\we.pac) the edited one needs to have the same lenght (so \new_tx\tx.pac)
