How it do it:
Google for a camo texture, save it, and then open it in GIMP. Now copy the texture in GIMP and use the fill button from the clones TGA to fill the white in. Use 80-90% transparently.

Thanks so much!! My clones will look great with this!!

ANOTHER QUICK QUESTION: How do you edit normal battle droid skins. They are really faint and you can't tell anything because it is really hard to see. Is there a way to see the battle droid skins or darken them up a lot :? ?? Please answer. thanks

Once you open the TGA on GIMP, right click anywhere and go to Colors >> Brightness-Contrast and adjust those settings to your likings.

Hope this help :thumbs:

this migh sound odd, but when you save the TGA to the desktop, what do you call it? and how does the munger read it if it is on the desktop? Or have i just missed something?

If you want to use it, use the name of the skin you want to replace, and yes, if you save it to the desktop the munger won't read it.

You save it as rep_inf_ep3trooper.tga

I said to save it on the desktop so you can se up the side, but if you already have one, save it in its msh folder.

Please, remember that we can't really help you if you don't tell us anything other then "its not working"

No, he means the error log. Check the FAQ. Question 4, I believe.

Try it again. You just had to remove the "/forums" from the URL.
