In this turtorial, I will show you how to create a NPC with a custom texture. I will be using the Clone Captain texture which I made in a previous tutorial.
Step 1: Go to Actor Classes - Pawn - CTPawn - Republic - CloneTrooper. Right Click it, and select New.
Step 2: Input the desired name in the box.
Step 3: In the properties box, go down to Display - Skins, and click Add.
Step 4: Type in the texture name (Ex: CloneTrooperCaptain) and hit enter.
Step 5: Exit out of the properties box, and go back to ActorClass - Pawn - CTPawn - Republic - CloneTrooper, and click on CloneTrooperCaptain (or whatever you named yours). Now, right-click an area of terreign and add him in.
do you need a special program for this other than RC?
Sorry for the late response.
No, you don't need any special program to mod RC. UnrealEd (its in the gamedata\system folder) will work for most of your needs. You may need some accessory programs for more in depth work (things like Gimp, Photoshop, 3ds Max, and Blender are pretty good examples).
Ya speak'n ma language the originals the best boo yah
You can get UnrealEd by patch 1.00
