pawkyfox Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 In ren we can use XCC mixer to extract DDS files to edit and put them in Data folder to see changes...how is this done in UT3? Is it easy to do? In Ren we have the power to change the graphics and i think Ren X has good graphics too but i hope this is not too hard question....! -pawky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epicelite Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 No because it is 95% of the time a skin to make it easier to see someone, the other 5% just plain look ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No advantage, just as beautiful and pleasant for the eyes to see.Hope u understand.Plus Ren -X Hourglass is kinda too different and somewhat ugly.I guess the answer to my question is no.

Former Developers Havoc89 Posted February 25, 2009 Former Developers Share Posted February 25, 2009 Skins and any kind of replacements will be next to impossible. If you look for any skins or replacements for UT3 you wont find many if not any. To make skins you would have to make a new upk file containing the new textures and a material to go with. Then you would have to change the code to use the material. This will not work because it is essentially changing the version of the mod it self and any server you goto the original files will download and overwrite the new ones that you made. So skinning for this mod will not be happening. This is also a good thing because it then becomes a fair game and no one can get any visual differences. Unless we can come up with a skinning system which we most definatly will not then skinning is not possible for renx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightyBOB Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 To be honest, I am glad the game engine doesn't support easy reskinning and I hope we don't make any efforts to add that kind of support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyAndy Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I once had this Mountain Dew APC. It was actually pretty cool but yeah there's really an advantage in using some particular skins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
