Step 1: Open and extract the following ftx
skin files from the pak0.pk3 file to
your empty “my documents” folder. (using Winzip)
Using Julie's "Flight Suit"
as an example.
models/players/newjulie/julie1_skin1.ftx
// julie pants/boots/blades/sheath
models/players/newjulie/julie2_skin1.ftx
// julie front and back body/pouches
models/players/newjulie/julie3_skin1.ftx
// julie head/sunglasses/mouth
Step 2: Convert the skins ftx files to tga
with “ftxconvert”
(drag and drop the ftx file onto
the ftxconvert program, a new tga file is made)
Step 3: Now paint the tga files to your liking.
(with your paint program)
(save the tga files as 24 bit - for the most compatibility
with other machines)
Step 4: Convert the painted tga files back
into ftx with “tgaconvert”
(drag and drop the tga file onto
the tgaconvert program, a new ftx file is made)
(Discard or move the tga files and converters, they
are no longer needed.)
Step 5: Using Winzip,
a: Create a new zip file and move it to the desktop.
b: Double-click the new winzip file
c: Click the "add" button and locate the "models"
folder inside your "My Documents" folder.
d: Single-click and highlight the "models" folder
in the winzip window.
e: Once highlighted, click the "add with wildcards"
Step 6: Rename the new zip file in the following
manner. (p-z)(anyname).(pk3)
E.G.: wfakkskin.pk3 xfakk.pk3
vfakk5.pk3 etc.......
Step 7: Place the new PK3 file into the Fakk2/Fakk folder.
Run the game, and the new skin should replace the original flight suit.
Enjoy.........
Note: In some cases, Winzip
may not recognize the suffix of PK3, thus preventing the
inital extraction. Simply rename
the .PK3 file to .ZIP before your initial extraction.
Winzip should also be installed
with the "Traditional" settings.
