hello,
i was wondering how can you edit skins ? and also how can i make my own side e.g rep but only its rep2 with diffrent textures ? would this work so i could have red republic vs blue republic ???
Here is a skin editing tutorial

You will need to load the original skin into a editor (a free one called GIMP works well) and save it as a non-RLE compressed TGA file.
The is really important: NO RLE compression.
The skin is a 2-D file that wraps around the model . It take time, experience, and practice to change what you want, because arms and legs are all jumbled up with the chest and back in the file.
After you edit the skin, then you munge the side into a new rep2.lvl file or whatever you want to call it. Then you add that to your map LUA.
Please look in our tutorial section. A lot of SWBF1 tutorials will work for SWBF2 also.
