Reskining

[Legacy_Sydious]

               Is it a hard process to change the textures on models?
Like if I wanted to change the tattoos or skin textures on the human model. Is that difficult and a hard process?

               It depends on how much you're changing. If you want to change the skin texture used on every piece of clothing, you'd have to change every piece of clothing. If you're just looking to skin the default "naked" PCs, you've only got 14-15 textures to reskin (not including head textures).

               ok. Ya looking to basically change the naked Human PC model. Want to add full body tattoos.

Guess I need to dig into a custom content guide somewhere.

               You'll need to change the plt file that matches the name of the model you wish to reskin. Since plts are multi-layered textures they can be a bit of a pita to work with. Each color has a layer - skin, hair, tattoo1, tattoo2, cloth1, cloth2, leather1, leather2, metal1, and metal2.

               So I have found NWNexplorer and a PLT editor.
I extracted the chest texture and drew with the tattoo colors what I wanted.

Now how do I add this as a hak pack? Any tutorials someone can point me to?
I don't want to override the original texture or anything if I don't have to...

               So is a "naked" human PC model made up of "armor" pieces? Do I need to create  custom Armor pieces to make a body covered in Tattoos?

               Either override an existing texture (for which the model already exists) or copy and rename a model, the name of which should be the same as that of your texture.  And yes, a "naked" PC is made up of "armor" pieces.
