Photoshop, dothalo, Ch2r, Entity for drag and drop, Uber Lightmap Tool, UBT: Lite (I think that's what it's called... it internalizes), and my seamless texture tutorial ;) (kidding about the last one.

Good luck man!

Right now, I am the last person to be worried about...No I'm not trying to do a false sense of security...My skin sucks right now :( I'm not joking.
The only thing you should be worrying about is how your going to be showing off with your prizes ;)

Good luck to all still :D

Also, you've got your own name wrong fool its McGeo!

If I skin a weapon, do I have to inject the new bitmap into the shared.map? But then how do I include that with the serenity patch for Burial Mounds?

No, you need to internalize the bitmap. That will make it independent of the Shared.map file.

Search for Uber Bitmap Tool: Lite and use that or internalize with Entity.

I asked a question a while back that never got answered. I was wondering if we can remove the turret from the hog. It can influence gameplay but is also something that makes a skin look much better.

If any of you skinners want to inject true P8 normal maps, and not ugly ghetto-fied textures, see my signature ;)

Cold breath ought to be pretty easy, check out attachments on the heretic elite biped (if I remember correctly).

Is Adding A Weapon allowed? Like, I wouldn't mind adding a AR in place of an SMG. Can I do that?

I'm pretty sure since that is modifying the weapon that it's not allowed.

There is just no point in making the AR over the SMG...So no...
