Hey there, im new to the game and the forums and well modding stuff at the end of the day so i was wondering if anyone here could give me a hand with something, i have used the .paa plugin for photoshop from kegetys and have managed to add camo to weapons (basic i know but we gotta start somewhere right? ;), but the only way i can seem to get them to work in game is to replace the original weapons2.PBO file with one which has the skinned weapons in, with the same name, so basically a weapons2 (PBO containing the skinned weapons) replacing the original weapons2 PBO file, i did try naming it mod 1 and placing a mod folder in the game directory and doing the -mod stuff to the game launch parameters although i feel there is most likely more to it than that, so basically is there a way i can have these skinned weapons as a mod rather than having to replace files all the time?, and if so how do i convert the PBO file(modded/skinned one) into a recognised mod file the game can read.
Thanks for any help thats provided.
P.s i do realise this is proberlly easy to do (and most likely alot more to it than just draggin folders about) but as i stated i am new to this and have got them working in the game, but by replacing original files (which are backed up).
