Greetings.

This is the SkinChooser development packet.  Inlcuded you will find the PSD template file used to create the preview screens.  You are not required to use it.  It is only there for conveniences sake.  If you feel like creating your OWN original styled preview picture, then by all means enjoy yourself.  Also included is the "BoomBox" font that was used to create the text used in the skin chooser preview screens. 

The template for creating skinsets is as follows:

Each type of skinset has its own naming scheme, and the types are as follows:

Weapon Skins - *.WepSkin.vol
Icon Skins - *.IconSkin.vol
Reticles - *.XHairSkin.vol
Background Skins - *.BGSkin.vol
Flyer Skins - *.FlyerSkin.vol
Miscellaneous Skins - *.MiscSkin.vol
Special Effects - *.SESkin.vol

The preview picture should be the same name as the name of the skinset volume.  For example, if you have a skinset called "CamoWeapons.WepSkin.vol", the name of the preview picture MUST be "CamoWeapons.bmp".  Got it?  Pretty simple eh?  The specs for the preview picture are this:

 - Must be 250x250 pixels.
 - Must be an indexed image using the Pal3 pallete supplied in the "MakeSkin" folder.
 - Must have "makeskin.exe" run on it using the same Pal3 pallete.

Thats it. :o)  Now get skinning! If you have any questions or problems, contact me at poop@tampabay.rr.com
