<div class="IPBDescription">n00b modler playing around with skin.bmp</div> ok this is not for ns, but for stock hl

i am making Black & White life mod, using lots of stock hl stuff

I want to know, if i change the colours of the skins will this effect the thinsg they are ment to do?

EG.
if i change the colour of the gargs skin, will it still be inval, all but to beam, and explosives?

if i change the colour of "chrome" will this do strange things?

thanks

Changing skins shouldn't change the way hit detection works. Default Half-Life uses the HitBoxes on the model. Changing the crome flag changes the way the texture is rendered, I'm not shure the technicle term, but the texture is modled around the model as it moves making it look like, well, chrome <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

the skin is just how you use it. it doesnt affect any coding in any way.

thanks all

this should help alot

new thing

how hard is it for a n00b modler to force put sound files into the model - is this in the qc file, or smd file?

eg -

i want the model to refrence this sound file
sounds/guns/shottysound1.wav

i don't want to make it refrence it through the dll coce though

It's in the .qc, and you should be able to figure out most of how it's done my looking at the .qc files of other models. For a better guide, grab Valve's modelling guide, linked in the stickied getting started with modelling thread.
