Learn To Make An EHM Skin!

Post by Minstrel »

I've just reworked, updated and uploaded Version 2.0 of my Graphic Guide to Skinning EHM. This is a set of five pages that have pictures of the games elements as they appear in the game along with on-screen info about where to find that piece in your skins folder. It also gives tips and hints for working on making a skin. I've added a lot of new info to this version.

You can download the Guide and follow along with the 'Guide to the Guide' text file that will give you a full step by step walkthrough of all five pages. There is also an online version of the "Guide to the Guide" walkthrough in our Graphics Guides section where you will also find my guide to the .col file which is the second piece of the skin creation puzzle.

Combined you should have all the info you need to create your own fully customized skin for the game. IF you have any questions please post them to the "Skinning Questions?" thread so that everyone can learn from people's questions and we can keep it organized to one thread.

If you want to start a WIP (work in progress) thread for your skin project to get feedback and show screenshots etc name the thread as "WIP: My New Skin" but of course put the name of your skin instead :-p

If anyone is working on a skin and would like my help testing/troubleshooting it send me a message and I'll arrange to grab a copy from you and run it through it's paces :tiptap:
