I made this texture and it shines very much ingame, does anybody has an idea how to change it?
I already tried to use another specmap and bumpmap.

You fergot the Shaders. Copy the shader of of a uniform already made

Are there any good tutorials for Paint. NET that show how to use them on NW. Because i have no idea how to use it :/

PdN is a very good tool for modding NW. I recommend you download this plugin pack, for it has very useful tools to work with.

One more thing, PdN has the option to compress .dds files into many different formats. DXT1 is the standard NW one, which sacrifices a lot of quality in the name of disc space. However, if you want something to look nice and detailed (flags, for instance), use the R8G8B8 format, which increases file size to around 3mb per file, but looks great ingame. Just make sure you never use it with transparent textures, such as "british_equipment".

If I was to add a new unit into a mod how would one do it? With the Troops.txt file.

[Betaknight]

That would be a whole thing to do. Coding.
there is a thread with a tutorial on how to add a unit in-game. Look around for the tutorials. Gokiller made a thread on how to make mod etc

Okay then, thanks.

I made a couple of new models for a uniform, on a mod I'm making, and after I've added them to the respectfull troops, and started to game to see if it works, is where the problem starts.. I make a private LAN server to see how it looks in-game, and I find the troop. Now, the uniform looks great on the preview screen. But when I choose the class I spwan with out any clothing at all, and a text from the server that says: "35th_Col_John_Bramley is  auto-kicked of the server for cheating"
All other uniforms works, but not the newly imported one. The stats are identical to the British Infantry Uniform, and yet the server finds it fishy, hehe.
Any ideas on how to fix it?

PS
Yes, I did dissable auto-kick aswell.

[Betaknight]

If you compiled the mod onto NW itself. Then you will be kicked for cheating. So compile the mod on a separate folder. The rest is up to a coder

I Need help.

How do I make a uniform a different colour but also keep the same texture? Like,
This texture

To this texture


With keeping the same cloth look but different colour.

[Frederik]

open the .dds of the uniform, and colour it like you want

Yeah, but the thing is it looks really really smooth. And not Cloth-Like. Unless I'm doing something wrong, well I'll check when I'm on my gaming PC.

[Frederik]

then Change only the colour of the complete Picture.
