Have you noticed this is CE?
Well I don't know if you have to do the same thing. I don't mod CE. It does not work for me.

oh lol i was thinking of PC since you said "skining" so heres a second tutorial.


make a image and save it as a tiff too levels\test\stuff\bitmaps\image.tif

then gointo tool and use teh command tool.exe bitmaps levels\test\stuff\bitmaps

and it will make your bitmaps
also the image must be either 512x512 or 256x256 or 16x16 for it too work.

ahhh im just going to start makeing maps now instead of skinning and figure it out on the way
