so: I tried the suggested compression and now it is 2,7 MB. (THANKS for that)

this is how it looks like (I changed colours, just by fun wanted to try a Agypt Rook *gg*)

Stain glass window rook!

At least it would explain his lack of armor.

of course. use it, but link back please!

if you need something specific, let me know!

started a green one, with plants growing on it, but im not that motivated to finish it, even though I am sure I ca make some great works once I get the hang of this, im good with photoshop:

btw if i get it working do you want it to have a specific name?

Woot, after about 10 hours i got it to work!

Just wondering if you have a the compressed version of your mod uploaded, paticuarlly that of your Agypt Rook texture as the colours are really nice and are quite distinct:).

yes. download and replace Rook_SpecTeam.dds (in the same place where rook_albedo.dds is.)

If you want to change it on your own:

Open Rook_SpecTeam. Now you see a yellow image with some red elements (don't touch them) and very small areas with other colors. (these are the areas where the specific color of every god is set).

Yellow means: NO Glowing

White means: GLOWING

50% Yellow and 50% means: 50% Glowing... and so on!

So, when you make a yellow place white, it is going to glow in the game.

How do I find out which part is for example the head in the yellow image?

Open the XXX_Albedo and put the yellow image over it. Give it some transparency so that you can see the parts you want to change

(If somebody wants to translate this in real english he shall do it, and post it as a tutorial somewhere  )

I tell ya, I get all happy when someone picks rook now

thanks ben for your help, you have been very patient with my requests!! karma for you!

and thank you for the complement split, I will continue working on the 2d rendering for the green rook!

My original Skinning QoT thread has some further information about modifying the specTeam.dds.

No, meant that i got your skin to show up on a new minion unit, it was quite a bit of work to get the character files to recognise the new .dds file and use that as the skin. Looks awsome , i will upload a video later.
