You will also need the following programs:Ī Hex Editor (I use Hex Editor, which I found on ) - to edit the TML and model filesĬonvertCCT () - to obtain the skins and check to see you coded the TML properly You probably want to get started huh? Please make sure you've read those above before reading further. Thus, I will refer to some of his pictures while mine are not yet uploaded.Īll right. Note: Docszoo's is the only one with viable pictures that really relate to MST skinning as I know it.
It doesn't hurt to go back to what one of the best modders here wrote, either.ĭocszoo's tutorial is very helpful - I read over it many times as I was making MSTs in the beginning - and while he doesn't talk so much about the model editting (*wink*) he still does an excellent job of making MSTs easy.

Bear with me, this is my first time to show a mod for JPOG to the public. I will, however, be able to help with the first two questions. If the latter's your problem, I'm not here to get you sent to the cornfield. Whoever can do this first, I congratulate you, sir/ma'am!Įver been extremely annoyed that whenever you used an MST file that you always ended up with dead dinosaurs that either turned bright white or a funky weird shade of green? Tired of answering noobs (like me!) who ask questions about MSTs and wonder if they can keep their dead skins? Ever just want to scream and kick DL around some? (I would not recommend that!).

I heard that MG's host may be shutting down soon, so I'm going to repost those really helpful tutorials here to save them.
