    How are we supposed to mod the skins now? I'm absolutely stumped on the new skin system. Please reply, a few other skin modders would like to know also. In addition, are we only restricted to a single player skin now? I cant load Humans vs Orc skins anymore

    *Ps:You going to add a new team color system with that team palette file in the future? If so, am i going to waste my time reskining different team colors on my skins?

    You have to mod the game-mode too.

    Each actor type (which can be defined the same per team or different per-team) has these variables
    Code:
        actor_sprite_size = 32
    actor_sprite_male = Sprites/knightMale.png
    actor_sprite_female = Sprites/knightFemale.png
    actor_heads_size = 16
    actor_heads_male = Sprites/MaleHeads.png
    actor_heads_female = Sprites/FemaleHeads.png
    We're leaning towards some serverside modding in the future. For now on most servers, you can modify both teams.
    As for colours, just use blue team's colours for now. We might have 2-colour teams in a while though.

    Honestly, modifying textures during an alpha is generally a bad idea if you don't like reworking everything. A lot of things are going to change over time.

    Actually I really like the server side texture pack Idea, that way you know everyone is using the same.
