Excellent link.Originally Posted by Epistolary Richard
If you have a new skelton name, ie one not recocnised by your current build, im looking at darth and want to import a unit from RTWP, you could have made a new unit or want to import from a mod a unit to another mod or vanila, the list goes on.... you cant just drop it in the correct folder, you must unpack all skeltons, add it to the text list that contains all skeletons and then re pack, (using vircengetorix IDX) the text list controls all they files to be packed.
Does that sound correct?. If so i was under the impresion new skeltons could not be created, are they just being renamed?.
This is out of my field, but I believe there are two different things both being referred to as skeletons here -
The first, the skeleton referred to in descr_model_battle, is just really a collection of animations (or rather a file that references different animations).
The second is something to do with being able to add completely different models (e.g. ones with eight arms and the like) which can't be added. A vet modeller will probably able to speak to this better.
