Nuclear Arbitor: do you have Adobe reader for your browser? The pdf's automatically load into your browser as a document, and then the reader gives you the option of saving a copy of the file. The armor reskinning tutorial just covers things specific to NWN2 at the moment, so you might not find it very useful as a general tutorial. The gimp one might be useful to you though. Send me your email address through the vault messaging system and I'll send you the pdf if you don't want to download the plugin for adobe reader. The vault messaging system doesn't allow file attachments.

Thank you. I'm very toolset-dumb and your tutorials told me exactly what I needed to know after I spent hours in frustration hunting around for info and doing a lot of trial and error.

i still cant get the dl to work but I'd be interested in seeing the tutorial and gimp parts. I'm trying to learn how to skin but i don't have nwn2. would you be willing to email them to me?

It must have been momentary troubles with the file sharing system. everything seems to be working now.

none of the dl appear to work, I've tried multiple times over the last half hour. takes me to s.nwnvault.ign... and sits there with a blank page. are they broken or do i need to try back later?

Thank you, thank you, Monkeybarrel! Yes, it is my software. Photoshop Elements completely hides knowledge of the alpha layer from the user. I am currently busy guessing how to combine layers and write to Targa files in such a way as to produce results that I can understand. I have succeeded in erasing the eye, but at the cost of making the side panels of the tunic totally pitch black! I'll get it, one way or another. *she grimly grits out between clenched teeth* Maybe I will download Gimp! *snuggles* Eph p.s. My other test projects, like adding tiger stripes to a tail, lightening up some armor, making some racy outfits for Pravita (where, by the way, ALL of your stuff we are aware of sits in our haks), have all gone much smoother, all thanks to your tutorial. Yay!

Hi there Ephralia! Based on the images, I'm guessing the alpha channel of your tint map has an area blackened out where the eye is supposed to go. I'm not familiar with using photoshop elements, but there should be a way for you to select just the alpha channel on an image and fill in any eye shaped markings you find in it with white.

A ten for me, because I finally found a tutorial I can follow. And I can finally use the hide/chainshirt 5. Finally. Thank you for all your hard work.
