Help reskinning monsters

[Danny Boy]

ok then... copy the original file of the monster you wish to retexture and paste it were ever you want it to be.
then rename that file and its .dae and .ent file (all whit the same name(whithout deleteing the .dae and .ent) attention! you won't need to rename eny more files beyond the ones i said!
Then open the renamed .ent file whit notepad or notepad ++ and if you look for it you will see this code:

Code: (Select All)

<Entities />
        <Mesh Filename="H:/Lux/redist/entities/enemy/servant_grunt/servant_grunt.dae">

in this code its saying were is the .dae file that it wants to load... you will have to change its rewrite this to load the new dae file. in one of my monsters it will look a bit like this:
EDIT: dont mind about the </Entities> part... just edit the lower text

Code: (Select All)

</Entities>
        <Mesh Filename="custom_stories/Test/entities/enemy/servant_super_grunt/servant_super_grunt.dae">

then just replace the old texture whit new one (whit the same name of the original and in dds format) and congratz you have a reskined enemy!
maybe this way is not the best because you may see some problems but for now its the best way i know to reskin a monster :/ but i hope that helps
