Problem with custom model skins

[luckybob9]

Ok, so i made a custom model to replace an existing model, the problem is that the skin doesnt show up. it is just a grey object. do i somehow need to link the skin to the new model?

you need to unwrap it totaly

make a new skin

attach to it

put skin on temp textures folder

than you will see skin...

How do you do the unwrap process. I cant seem to get each piece on same file. It makes a separate file for each piece.

EDIT:

Ok so i unwrapped it and saved the uwv file. Im not sure what to do from here..

Hey, heres a great tutorial of how to unwrap your model. Its the method 2 on the page. I use this method myself, and it works great! Method 1 doesnt work in lockon I think, but havent tested it.
