Im having a problem with the UV Map, when i edit a model and unwrap the uv map it stays the same as it was with the original model also how do you know what your painting on the UV Map, its is just loads of lines scattered all over a square. I have no idea what part of the body im coloring

I cant really, i dont have the internet on my computer with BFME 2 and im out of CD's at the moment so i cant put it on a cd. Ill describee it. When i edit my model and select unwrap UV map and go into edit its just lines and little boxes which is what i seen on a tutorial. But i dont know what each one skins. When i take a screenie and cut out the UV Map every time i want to check what i skinned i have to save it and apply it to the model which is very time consuming

Unfortunately that's the only way to do it, unless you've done so many skins that you know exactly what each part will be

Playing games? Ah, you'll never be a good modder if you get involved in actually playing them!

its very very easy I tell you
just choose a base model....then you just skin over the parts you wan tto change I recomend using the evil men model and skin for a base for a jedi knight :p well thats what I did and it turned out great as you saw :p

what folder is it under in compiled textures, for the past while ive been looking at different models. I just realised that the faces in skinning are hard. Mine look absolutely terrible compared to the ones used by EA

If you could scale, stretch, cut in half and not really in half, and get it to look like it does on the existing skin. In other words, no. :(

you're able to do that as much as you're able to take someone's face off the internet and put it in the skin. at first you will suck, though
