How do u change a color of a uniform using the magic wand?

You select what you would like using the magic wand, then click the button above  layers called adjustments (I'm assuming you are using photoshop) then select Hue/Saturation and then click colorized, and just mess with the scales.

I did that but it made my whole thing a color. Is there a way just to pick a color and put it there?

Yes.
Magic wand > cut > new layer > paste > edit levels.
If that doesn't work, Magic wand > cut > new image > paste > levels and then copy back to the original.

Alternatively, just do the edits, copy the piece you want, then undo or reopen and paste back into the original.

Sorry if this has been asked before but does anyone know of any good guides on making skins. I've been searching around and couldn't find any. Any help would be appreciated

How does one change British sailors to selected items instead of random because I have put the items I want for them in the source code for NW but I can't work out how to change their weapon selection from random to eg itm_french_dragoon_musket

That won't work.

[Jorvasker]

Yup,  can't do that.

The random weapon selection thing is in strings and scripts. If you want to remove it completely remove it from scripts, or you can change the string to whatever weapon you are using for that class.

Not quite true - "Strings" just contain lines of viewable text (i.e. the text seen on the menu buttons, in singleplayer text dialogue, etc...). Anything in there will not have an actual effect on the code, only on what you read inside the game. The actual randomisation code should be in Scripts, as you said.

FYI MadManYo, you won't be able to use that module on a server running NW - it'll kick you for cheating if you do. The mod will need to be serverside if you want it to work.

I found the string you want:

Code

("random", "Random"),

And Blob is right, in the scripts there will be a part that basically says "for this troop, display this string for the weapon box", which might be something you'll want to look into removing if your France and Britain replacements use different weapons for that class.

How do I change the colour of the plumes on the highlanders?

I'm currently doing a reskin of the 42nd; changing it from the Grenadier Company of the 42nd to the Grenadier Company of the 78th. Simple texture editing on Paint.net only got me so far. I want to make the plume all white.

The .dds is called britishhats or something like that ,  and you just open it up, find the plume there and then re color to your choosing.

No. Just no.
If you do that you change other regiments plume cokor as well. just re- uvmap the plumes in a 3d editing program.
