Here's a good place to start.

for skins the command is

 

CustomSkin

 

Example

 

Playermodel Alora

CustomSkin blue -> The model is textured with the file models/players/alora/model_blue.skin if you put as value "yellow" the engine will search for model/players/alora/model_yellow.skin .

CustomSkin work only if you have alreat a model_"SKINNAME" setted *.SKIN file into the model folder.

make a skin file and a npc file is the abc of modding. you need simply to open NPC and SKIN files with notepad.

npc need also a saber. also saber can be programmed with SAB files, you found npc files into ext_data/npcs and sab files into ext_data/sabers.

edit the data files is a good point for start the modding.

i learned the basic of modding editing data files.

after, i edited model texture with graphic programs.

after, i learn how to edit to sounds and music.

after, i learn the basic knowledge of mapping, shadering and scripting

after, i learn how to rig a model into 3d max.

md3 i learn recently.

coding is my last learning.

and agains is full of mysteries.

really, NPCs is the door of the modding.
